Patel is a surname representing a caste of village leaders. The 'Patel' of a village in the mid-1500-1900 state of Gujarat, would be a member of the village committee who would help represent the whole village's views to the local council and take the lead in resolving problems and implementing ideas. They would do this by working closely alongside the village pandit and other members of the 'Brahmin' Community mainly found in Gujarat, India but also across all parts of India such as Telangana and Pakistan. It is currently also used as a surname like Patidar or Bhakta, or replaced by an ancestorial name.
The term patel derives from the word Patidar, "Pat," which refers to a piece of land. Consequently, the name "Patel" referred to one who was tasked with taking care of or farming that piece of land or normally called for headman of community
The name Patel is found primarily in the Indian state of Gujarat, as well as the states of Uttar Pradesh,Rajasthan, Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and in some eastern part of Madhya Pradesh; and metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Kanpur,Banda and Delhi.
Meet the Patels is a 2015 American romantic comedy documentary film directed by siblings Geeta V. Patel and Ravi V. Patel. The film explores the expectations surrounding marriage in the Patels' first-generation Indian immigrant family and in wider American society. It had its international premiere at Hot Docs in April 2015.
Fox Searchlight acquired remake rights after the documentary won the Audience Award at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
Meet the Beatles! is the second Beatles album released in the United States. It was the first US Beatles album to be issued by Capitol Records, on 20 January 1964 in both mono and stereo formats. It topped the popular album chart on 15 February 1964 and remained at number one for eleven weeks before being replaced by The Beatles' Second Album. The cover featured Robert Freeman's portrait used in the United Kingdom for With the Beatles, with a blue tint added to the original stark black-and-white photograph.
After constantly rejecting requests by both Brian Epstein and George Martin to release Beatles records in the United States, in November 1963 EMI label head Sir Joseph Lockwood sent a deputy to Los Angeles ordering Capitol Records to commence releasing and promoting Beatles product in the United States. Despite the "first album" claim on its cover, ten days prior to its release Vee-Jay Records of Chicago beat Capitol to the punch with the release of the Beatles' American debut album Introducing... The Beatles, which had been delayed for release for various reasons since the previous summer. Perhaps as a result of the Vee-Jay release, Liberty Music Shops advertised in the New York Times of 12 January 1964 that Meet the Beatles! was available for purchase, an ad not authorised by Capitol.

U Banjaluci je prikazan dokumentarni film „Upoznajte Patelove“. Riječ je o dokumentarnoj romantičnoj komediji, a radnja filma prati Amerikanca indijskih korijena, koji je blizu tridesete godine života i zarobljen je između žene koju voli i svojih roditelja. Glavni junak je Ravi Patel, a film je nastao tokom porodičnog odmora, od snimaka koje je snimila njegova sestra Geeta, te pokazala kako je izbor partnera ustvari problem cijele porodice, a ne samo te osobe. Autori filma kroz humor istražuju i dokumentuju društvene konvencije u vezi braka koje su izražene u njihovoj porodici. Radi se o prvoj generaciji indijskih imigranata u Ameriku.
The Audience Award Winning Doc at LAFF this May, meet The Patels is the story of old fashioned Indian ideas of marriage & love meeting 21st century Los Angeles. Geeta is behind the camera. Ravi is the co-director and young man (not young enough for his parents) looking for love. And Mom & Dad are characters that have to be seen. Meet the family in this 2-part DP/30 interview. Shot in Los Angeles, May 2014
