Queimando o Filme

It's seems so sadly wasted! The story telling is a bit clunky as the writing is lacking in freshness. Maybe the fault is in the editing or the directing, but this film is really lacking in oomph! It's like hoping for a delicious piece of chocolate cake and having to make do with a biscuit.

The group of actors that have come together is inspiring, and they could have been so wonderfully utilised. They are all so talented and could have added a real champagne sparkle to this project.

The locations are also great as they show off lovely pockets of London.

I'm sorry to say that this film lacks in sparkle, charm and romance, as the leads have little or no chemistry. Some of the supporting cast are wasted, Sindhu Vee and Adil Ray in particular. These two talents are not shown to their best advantage; such a shame.

All in all, not a good rom-com.

Really watched this movie because of the videos I watched online and it was extremely meh -.- both the leads had no chemistry and even more extremely less screen time with each other. Even the Indian representation could not make me finish the movie. I was expecting so much more! Simone and Hero were okay, but it'll take more charm to successfully keep the people hooked. Atleast one of the main characters should have more charisma to pull it off! There was potential comedy but the timing was off so it didn't hit! Hollywood needs to bring back 2000's romcom era because these don't hit the same way :(

I do not mind a good adaptation, but atleast work on it! How do you manage to get the comedy AND the chemistry wrong? This movie is a prime time example of that. Indian representation doesn't make everything good, Bollywood has much better romcoms if you want to see the culture. Peak overacting, loud expressions, the only saving grace is its colourful aesthetic! Wasn't expecting much from the actor, but even Simone fell flat in this, the dialogues were okay but their execution was bleh, the closing dance was cool but of course you have to have one because it's stereotypical, plus you already know the premise from five blind dates so this movie is giving nothing.

This film felt like it was made by someone who has never met an Indian. The cultural references are so dated and generally off, I'm surprised multiple people green lit this for release. We have Pia, the most selfish, unlikable character who doesn't have a single redeemable quality even till the end, and the leading man Charlie who's so bland there's nothing worth remembering about him. Pia and her sister's clothes are like they're dressing for Halloween with Indian costumes. The Bollywood dialogue Pia (Simone) tries to say is so poorly done that, as someone fluent in the language, I had to read the subtitles to understand what she was saying. I'm pretty sure the marketing team for the movie is suppressing videos making fun of this because there's no way more ppl aren't talking about that. The character Sid she's speaking to in that scene with the butchered Bollywood dialogue has such a forced Indian accent, it's borderline offensive. They make a mockery of an Indian priest and traditions and, for me, the most far fetched plot point is how little Pia seems to be involved in her sister's wedding! Have none of the cast and crew ever met an Indian? She turned up at her sister's pre-wedding events like she was a guest and in not a single event she helped set up or even knew what was happening! That is not how Indian weddings work lol unless you're estranged in which case you don't show up at all. Overall, very poorly done. I had higher expectations and this was a complete let down. I hope Simone does better in the future.

My wife and I were looking for some interesting entertainment and settled on this movie, made by Amazon and streaming on Prime. The past few years we have watched lots of, I am reluctant to admit, very marginal "made for streaming" movies and were skeptical, but this is a really fine and entertaining movie.

I had never seen Simone Ashley before, she plays the main character Pia. I just couldn't take my eyes off her, she is gorgeous, but best of all she is a really good actress and her performance here is very authentic.

The basic story is this - she is single and soon turning 30, her younger sister is getting married soon, the sister and her mother are strongly encouraging Pia to find a suitable husband. But she has a career as a photographer and co-owns a studio with her gay friend. But business isn't great and they may go under.

The story has many complications but most things are resolved in good, meaningful ways. We found it to be a worthwhile, entertaining movie.
