Temporada de Casamentos

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.

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.

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.

Being of 1st generation Indian background I could relate to the struggles that the kids were having. It was funny to see how the parents were reacting. I wish my parents would have been this nice. It was tough but they have come around now.

We all knew that Ravi and Asha would get together at the end from their first meeting. What we did not know was the the trials and tribulations they would have to go through in order to make that happen.

Their pretend dating was similar to the story line in the 1st season of Bridgerton with Dapne and Simon.

Overall a good movie. I sometimes wonder those who don't like a show if they actually watch it to the very end.

This film is just pure fun: Silliness, tropes to warm the soul, lots of stereotypes (who doesn't love them), great music with just a touch of serious - an uplift on a dull day!
