Indian Beauty (released in the United States as On the Other Side) is a 2006 Indian romance film directed by Shanti Kumar. Shot in Telugu and English, the film features Collin Mcgee, Shaila Rao, and Manish Dayal.
Indian culture interests Dave (Colin McGee). So he decides to work on its culture. Dave has a friend, Jack (Manish Dayal), who was born in America but has roots in India. Jack joins Dave on his project on Indian culture. Mr. Murthy, a friend of Jack's father, offers them a place to stay. Initially, Mr. and Mrs. Murthy are keen on taking Jack as their son-in-law, but noticing his American ways, they prefer a local boy, Vishal (Gopichand Lagadapati).
Mr. Murthy's daughter, Swapna, is also interested in Indian culture and hence decides to help Dave with his project. In the process of working, both Swapna & Dave are attracted to each other before they finally fall in love. Whether Swapna & Dave are finally successful in convincing the parents forms the rest of the story.

The film was selected as the best movie of the year 2007 at the Harlem International Film Festival in New York.[2][3]
