Plot
Over four days of preparation for an arranged marriage in Delhi, a large Punjabi family comes together from around the world, quarrelling, flirting and revealing secrets, as a monsoon storm threatens. The bride has a secret affair, and an uncomfortable family truth comes out. Mira Nair's 2001 film, a colourful, warm comedy-drama, won the Golden Lion at Venice.
Sinekatalog’s take
Mira Nair's Delhi wedding comedy is vibrant, warm and bursting with colour and music. It balances family chaos with serious undercurrents in a joyful, richly textured ensemble piece.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
