From what I've read (and from the final credits), it looks like this movie was filmed mostly on location in India (so they didn't have to build all those incredibly gorgeous interiors and exterior buildings, I guess) and was at least co-financed and co-produced by the Trinity Broadcasting Network (a religiously affiliated American cable TV network).

I hadn't heard anything of it until I saw it in the local movie listings and looked it up, but I've seen a few TV ads since then, and I suspect they may be doing more advertising through conservative Christian publications. But it was kind of cool to be in an audience that was far more "mixed" in terms of skin color and age than most of my film-going experiences at matinees in the suburbs, as about half of the people at my screening were black, and there were some very young babies and some very old people present, but we all seemed to be laughing at the same jokes and enjoying the same things. I guess what I'm saying is that -- though I didn't quite realize it at the time -- the movie crowd felt like a 'church crowd', and it was strangely comfortable.
