hyped garbage
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first 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- 2001 Director: Mira NairMonsoon Wedding directed by Mira Nair is a film about an India family marriage. This film is one of the most effective examples of an India family ever put on screen. It displays events ranging form delightful to serious and appalling situations. You see family parties, drama, lots of music and dancing and that one creepy person in the family whom women of the family are afraid of! The great film-making and the use of hand held captures camera scenes is an important setting in the movie.With combinations of warmth and laughter, music and dance, romance and serious problems, Director Mira Nair has made this movie a family entertainment
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.
Hands down this is my favorite movie. (With My Name is Kahn in second place). My mom got this movie for me. I saw it the first time and realized that i had friends like that. The movie is definitely one every teenage kid should see. But the movie overall is great because its just about a four friends who have no experience with the "real world" before the wedding They realize that the wedding host could of been them and they respect that. In my opinion the point of the movie was not to have you think of when you were about to wed and your good friends but to think of what you have now, and what you do with it. In the end the film tells us what happens to each and how each kind of go their separate ways. (Such as the last scene of the movie). This is definitely a movie to not only rent but buy. I tip my hat to the Indian filmmakers.
