Kandasamys: The Wedding

Both first and second movie touches all the feelings and emotion. Yeah, some people over here are rating it poor, it's their perception. But, the movie feels more natural, small giggles here and there, one who have experienced the life would understand elements, natural changes in generations how to adapt be respectful and also live your life. Putting all these fundamental elemental in funny script, he's really done good job.

Even though i acted here i am not happy with this production. Taking millions from government departments and lavishly spending to over hype this ridiculous production. Was a nightmare to work on. Deva behaviour on set was just disappointing and ridiculous. You may think you are celebrities but there is a limit on how you conduct yourself to the extras. No creativity at all.

While the story was like a typical Indian movie of mother in laws n daughter in laws, I felt the actors were not very natural n it was a little dragging n boring, some overacting. But watched it only for its indian flavour. Story line was interesting but actors could have done more justice to their roles

A good change to see something from South Africa, instead of the usual USA or UK NRI stories. Though I have not watched the first movie "Keeping up with the Kandaswamys", and saw this sequel "Kandasamys: The Wedding" directly, it did not make much of a difference. It's a fun movie throughout, focusing on the ego wars of the would be mother-in-laws in a lighter way of course.

Kandasamys: The Wedding is aided with decent Screenplay & cinematography, other than that there isn't much to write about. People who are over 40 will enjoy the humour & characters in the movie. Runtime of 94 minutes is an added plus. Background score was bad but songs were good. Acting was very rudimentary.

I wouldn't recommend this movie to people under 35, as they may find it lame. A good watch for anyone over 40, as they can relate more to the jokes and the lighter elements in the movie. Though the story is age old, it is nice to see it in a South African backdrop. A good way to spend 90 minutes but don't expect too much other that a few jokes.

If you treat the movie as a cultural trip, there's a lot to enjoy: many panoramas of Durban's best sights, suburban familiarities, cultural insights, etc. The cinematography is very decent for a South African film and the acting is generally decent.

If you're viewing the film as a foreigner, you'll get some insight into a quirky subculture of South Africa that is less talked about overseas. Although the strong Hindu view of the movie doesn't nearly represent all Durban Indians, the humour and conversation is about right.
