        abstract = {This research examines the complexities of cultural identity in interfaith relationships by comparing The Big Sick (2017) and CINtA (2009) through the lens of Henri Tajfel's Social Identity Theory. The researvh examines the difficulties interfaith couples experience negotiating their personal wishes with cultural or religious prescriptive. Taking a qualitative descriptive approach, the study analyses the primary data consisting of films as well as the secondary data collected through a review of literature pertinent to the phenomenon. The results expose the psychological and social difficulties these couples face, based on in-group preferences and out-group prejudices that create obstacles to acceptance. These pressures lead to internalized conflicts {--} when the choices in both movies want to make cannot withstand the expectations of their families or society at large, as evident in both films. By comparing these two movies, the research highlights how cultural and religious identities can challenge personal desires in interfaith romances, offering insights into the psychological and social conflicts faced by interfaith couples, especially in societies with strong cultural and religious boundaries.}
