Robby R @robbyriverside Jul 18 this movie is a lot of fun! it's about an Indian wedding which is an elaborate colorful affair. in the middle of this splendid family celebration some drama occurs. just like it does in most families. this one really gives you goosebumps. it doesn't disappoint See more elana k @RT79062488 01/28/2024 I mean, yeah, sure. The structure was a bit all over the show, there was a lot of detail crammed in and I couldn't quite settle in and fully commit. Maybe I wasn't strapped into my "get ready for a jam packed chaotic monsoon wedding in India" seat, so I just did not quite have sufficient vinegar to keep my spirits up- as magnetic as the viewing experience may have been.

Its more understated than most typical Bollywood films, with some nice characters. I can't say I fully followed all the plots but I enjoyed it enough to say its an ok film. I wouldn't expressly recommend it as such, no. See more jordan m @RT33422384 04/03/2022 I was pretty underwhelmed by this one, solely because I took the title too literally. I kept hoping and expecting their house to be blown away by a gigantic storm at any moment and for them to have the wedding in like a storm shelter or on a boat or something. Instead nothing really went wrong the entire movie, they prepared for the weather (which ended up just being some rain, perhaps the most disappointing monsoon in the history of cinema) and the actions that could've derailed the plot laid out at the start of the movie ultimately didn't at all. They did a good job of capturing chaos in a way that didn't feel messy or breathless and the performances were good, but I thought the plot itself was a little mundane with the tired trope of cold feet before a wedding coupled with excisable family drama. Mira is clearly a competent director and I look forward to seeing a movie of hers where the plot is more compelling! See more samuel l @RT76616206 02/14/2022 A mixed bag. Somewhat enjoyable but unoriginal in many ways and definitely not a comedy. It provides a good representation of the differences between India and the US through things like the costumes, singing/dancing, and colours. However, the plot was riddled with silly subplots for drama, from an affair to sexual abuse from a paedophile, the boy perhaps being gay, a romance between the maid and wedding decorator, and a romance between the Australian idiot and the woman with the tattoo. The affair was never properly explained, the wedding decorator didn't even come across as a good guy to the maid, so it makes little sense how they got together, the sexual abuse and concerns about it repeating were kept quiet as long as possible, and there was minimal focus on the actual wedding. Whilst there was a good mix of characters, some side characters got more attention than the 'main' character. This, the subplots, and all the singing/dancing meant the pacing was a bit rough. However, the acting was decent, the sets/props/costumes were well done and believable, the cinematography and visual effects were fine, and the soundtrack fit. See more Read all reviews
