Watch Monsoon Wedding For Free

That was an excellent one.

Good movie but grossly overrated

A Major Disappointment

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I cannot give it 9 or 10 probably because I am watching it in 2018, and by now a lot of films has been made on tantamount to the similar relationship problems. The story takes a leap from platitudinous Indian rom-com and delved as deep as knocking into issue of child molestation by a paedophilic uncle Tej. This kind of lowly acts takes place within the family surreptitiously in the name didactic lessons on kissing. The most exceptional relationship being shown was that of Parabatlal Kanhaiyalal Dubey, the cardinal of the tent fixer's crew and Alice the maid. Vijay Raaz and Tillotama Shome acted exceptionally well.

Monsoon Wedding is one of the very very few Indian films for the educated global audience. I had been keeping myself away from watching this film for more than a decade. Thanks to the regular diabetically sweet and intellectually starved Bollywood films. Nevertheless, I am more than glad I finally watched this one.Mira Nair's film presents a voyeuristic view of an ordinary next door type North Indian wedding. The story revolves around not one but many well developed characters brought in together for a wedding on a rainy day invigorating hues of different emotions in the viewer.The film honestly tries to bring out the true dimensions of human relationships in a society where the imperfect things in life are swept under the carpet as if they cease to exist. Along with joy, fun and frolic of a colourful nuptial, the film offers glimpses of issues such as child sexual abuse, homosexuality,incest and infidelity with plausible sensitivity and intelligence.Probably, that is what sets this film apart from any other Indian film. Although India is a minefield of sub-cultures,customs and traditions, I recommend this film to anyone who would really like to have a much fairer comprehension of India and its people.

So she's gone off with her lover for one last tryst, then, in a panic, drives off in his car.And nothing happens? The police don't follow her home? The lover doesn't come to get his car back? The family never finds out? Lovely film, but that one plot point made me wonder more than a little.I was also thrown a bit by the multitude of characters at the very start: so many plots, so few of them really well developed. The son (I gather by a previous marriage?) that the father always calls "idiot". The lightly discussed child abuse by the scion of the wealthy side of the family. The father's having to turn to his golfing buddies for cash to pay for this extravaganza. Couple that with the characters themselves never really all that well defined, and it's mass confusion for the first hour. Finally it all gets sorted out, and we can move on to the wedding, but it still felt to sketchy: the overly understanding groom, the final-frame "happily ever after", the wedding organizer's quickie wedding as well... it just felt thrown together.

ossia: It Never Rains Put It Pours. This multi-thread wedding romance is a rich feast of culture and drama, fun and tragedy. Even if the thought of a big Indian party as the basis for a film leaves you cold, you can't help but sucked into the stresses and revelations that such an event inevitably churns up.Mira Nair handles the whole melange expertly. The acting is very good - the one performance I was nonplussed by at the beginning, Vijay Raaz's PK Dubey, turns out to be an affecting comic and romantic heart of the film. Beside him is the decorous housemaid of Tillotama Shome, the bride Aditi (glowing Vasundhara Das) and her parents, two actors who I would not be surprised to discover are Indian acting aristocracy, Naseeruddin Shah and Lillete Dubey. Not sure about eating marigolds though. 8/10
