In considering the aspects of Indian culture and especially the intersection of Indian and American culture in Jumpha Lahiri's "The Third and Final Continent" and The Namesake, I am reminded of a great short-ish (1 hour) animated film titled "Sita Sings the Blues," where a story from ancient Indian mythology is told partly through American blues music of the early twentieth century. Part 1 is embedded below, but the whole thing is available on youtube. You are not required to watch this, but I highly recommend it. It is really fun and I think you'll like it.
