Mariage chez les Kandasamys

People calling it stereotypical are wrong. I'm a mid 30s Indian born and raised out of India, and live in a multi-generational family and this movie made me laugh out loud at many moments and cry out of sentiment. The themes in this movie absolutely reflect the Indian cultural themes of my life and it's a heartwarming, relatable and realistic movie with a solid message. Hilarious and well-made and special hats off to Shanthi, an excellent depiction of a loving yet overbearing Indian mother 😊

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.

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.

I enjoyed this movie. Was cute, funny and entertaining throughout. You won't get bored at all. Was nice to see an Indian decent family in South Africa and how they live.

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
