I saw it with Mum and Dad! Not a movie to see with parents or atleast my extremely conservative parents. Mum hated the movie but I thought there some truth to it kinda like the independent films like ‘Hyderabadi Blues’. I liked it b/c it wasn’t glamorized Bollywood. It was like real life.
ROLLING STONE- FOUR STARS
“Monsoon Wedding tackles the chaos that results when a large Indian family, whose members are scattered around the globe, assembles in contemporary New Delhi for an old-fashioned marriage ceremony.
Director Mira Nair, best known for Mississippi Masala, a cross-cultural love story with Denzel Washington, as well as the Oscar-nominated Salaam Bombay!, aims for pure joy and achieves it”
