Movie Reviews of Monsoon Wedding
Movie Review: A Lovely Surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
When I saw this movie on Starz for the first time, I was watching it for plot rather than content. Something compelled me to watch it again, and I loved this movie so much that I added it to my collection. Other than 2 of the main characters, the actors were virtually unknown in India when the film was made. The impression that I came away with after watching this movie was not how different people of different cultures may be, but how much we all have in common in certain circumstances. Watch it for thoughfulness and romance.Movie Review: Wonderful, rich, uplifting
Summary: 5 Stars
Monsoon Wedding is a rich, warm, colorful, lavish, hilarious, and deeply moving gift from Mira Nair to the audience. An utterly delightful web of family relationships is woven through the movie, centering around an arranged wedding (in Texas!). But that's just the central theme. Almost more interesting is the sub-story of a romance developing between a servant girl and the opportunistic, marigold-eating (??? What is THAT all about ??) wedding-planner.Super-duper. Even my 90yo father loved it!
Movie Review: Outstanding movie, fabulous realism
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is funny, captivating and very memorable. It also has a unique element of realism, which brings the viewer as close to visiting New Deli as one could experience while sitting on a couch. The first viewing is a little confusing, with all the characters and shifting plot lines, but things fall in place the second time around. The director's audio commentary on the DVD is among the best such commentaries I've sat through and is an absolute treat, so don't skip over that bonus feature!Movie Review: My favourite movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched this movie at least 5 times already and each time it moves me to tears. Some people compare it to My Big Fat Greek Wedding--which I did not like--but I really can't see any comparison. MBFGW was supposed to be a lighthearted comedy, where MW has humour and lots of drama, as well as a deeper look into the culture and deeper character of the protagonists. The music is beautiful and appropriate, the acting is fantastic (featuring many non-actors), and the plot is riveting.Movie Review: Bolywood Delight
Summary: 5 Stars
Monsoon Wedding was a wonderful film. The main characters in this film were very complex and interesting.. There were five interweaving stories in this film. all of these were centrifugal to the wedding. As a Panjabi, I beleive they captured the culture very well. Mira Nair should win an oscar for directing this production. if you are a big fan of Indian music you'll love this film. It mixes old bollywood style with a new flavour. Ultimately I give this film THREE thumbs up.
