Wedding Season

It started off good but then it just got too predictable and the script is super cheesy. Acting is ok. Parents were annoying however stereotyped all the way. Nothing else to watch? Sure, why not Wedding Season. It's an escape from reality.

I enjoyed Wedding Season more than I thought I would. The pretend dating and falling in love formula has been used in Bridgerton and other Rom Coms, it's a common formula. But it was done this time with a rich Indian spin and storyline and it works. The two main cast members are likeable and show a nice easy to see romance on screen. They showcased the pressures of family and trying to rise above it. This modern rom com does deliver a nice feel good sort of film. My only issue was they didn't explain what happens to Asha and Ravi when Asha takes up her new role in London? This plot point was kind of left unfinished. Overall not a bad film.

I was in the mood for a cheesy romantic movie and this did not disappoint. It was better than I expected. I know others are unhappy about the Indian cliches but I found them endearing.

Is it predictable? Of course, it's a rom com. The acting was solid, the songs and the dancing were great. The chemistry of the leads was convincing, and the pressure that parents put on their high achieving kids was all too real. I would probably say 81/2 rather than 9, but it's well worth the time. Which by the way it's half as long as typical Bollywood movies.

It was interesting to see that the average US user rating was just 4.3. Given that Ron Howard and Brian Grazer were the executive producers, and Tom Dey directed, that's a serious diss to them!

Here's what this movie is. It has high production values, it has nuance and fine notes within a fairly predictable story. The actors were fresh, the acting was very good and it was an enjoyable 1.5 hours, rather than the typical 2.5-3 hour Indian movie. It was a modern Indian love story.

Most movies are predictable, but they can be fun to watch anyway. Worth a go!
