Directed by Mira Nair and based on the novel by Jhumpa Lahiri, The Namesake explores the experience of Ashoke and Ashima, two immigrants from India to America, and their children, Gogol and Sonia, looking at what it means to meaningfully connect with your family, and grappling with being part of different cultures. Starring the late great Irrfan Khan, Tabu, Kal Penn and Sahira Nair, the film was critically acclaimed when it premiered in 2007. 15 years on, we're revisiting it and discussing how it's aged.
