Rarely does a film transfix me so much that I forget to take notes. Mira Nair subverts and downright demolishes the Bollywood archetype, showing us that: -- There is beauty in the seemingly unglamorous -- There is flaw and downright evil in the seemingly glamorous and…

It has been more than two decades, yet this family drama from Mira Nair stays as relevant and holds up quite well. She beautifully utilizes the vibrant wedding setting to setup her diverse characters and explore their complex relationship dynamics with some nuanced writing.…

Reyham loved

Monsoon Wedding

Was so very cute to see such a select group of Indian movie actors all in once place looking so young. Real nostalgia for the early 2000s. Every subplot was well executed, the visuals are unglamorous and real yet still pretty, felt almost like a home wedding video at times

Monsoon Wedding

This was a delightful watch, showing the bustle of prep that goes to organising an Indian wedding and it was a refreshing take on the story that was subtly done in both languages.

Do yourself a favor and watch a master at work. Mira Nair is such a compelling storyteller she gets you to invest in each and every single person in this film.

Eminently disposable, but that's its charm. It stays with you just long enough to make you smile.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

An air-conditioned bus tour of Punjabi ritual. Nair stuffs the film with dancing, henna, ornamentation, and group song, but her narrative clich#233;s and telegraphed episodes smell of old soap opera.
