Some really decent performance, well written and directed , good production quality. and somehow satisfying ending but it could be more better.
.the movie has no vulgar dialogue , no nude or dirty scenes. its pure simple , classic family drama. Its a movie about "arranged marriage" basically. a marriage with no feelings?. even the families of both bride and groom are decent and civilised. there are no such things that they are very bad to their children.
there are very minor flaws in the movie , especially when she has bf and IN LOVE with him but she also has a little crush on fiance ? because in a scene where man's uncle told him to dance with her in a party , she got pissed or jealous and went to dance by herself. so it seems that she has some feelings for fiance too which is ODD?
This situation of " arranged marriage" happens in many 3rd world or under develop countries like india, Pakistan , Nepal, Bangladesh, srilanka , and many muslim countries. and most arranged marriages has more success that conventional love marriage (like in so called civilised western countries). But anyhow, love is important but what more important is loyalty ,faith , honesty and responsibility.

Thank you for making this amazingly pleasant movie. I felt so happy while watching it. The background music brought life to every scene. The background art and set pieces were just so heartwarmingly soothing. The actors were just perfect. The actress looked so beautiful. The guy playing Robert brought the innocence & turmoil within the character to his face (especially during the silent moments).
I loved how it was directed. Quite unique! It totally made me dive into the story.
Above everything, I loved the brilliant message.
I really enjoyed this movie because it was very pleasant to relax with. Very likeable characters. You really need to concentrate towards the end or you'll miss a crucial part because it's so quick. A nice Aussie film.
This was a wonderful film
The only reason why I had to give it an 8 out of 10 is because the characters accents were so deep and thick that I had to struggle to understand what they were saying and they were talking so fast and so low at times so I had to rewind several several times and rewatch parts but other than that it's a beautifully written and beautifully executed movie directed fantastically.
The movie was somewhat enjoyable, but frustrating because the ending was predictable. I knew how it was going end, with the couple falling into each other's arms. Watchable but that's about it.
