    A commonplace movie

    What a tad boring movie, it took me almost three years ohhh I mean days to finish watching this hard-to-sit-through movie. The problem is not the run-time, no no it's actually got a friendly runtime, it's the poorly written characters and bland storytelling. To make matter worse, my version of the film is dubbed, pooorly dubbed that occasionally makes me want to punch my laptop screen. The story follows a biracial lady Shania who is working in an online company, with their boss retiring, she assigned them to dig deep and find stories that's going to make the company blow out the water. Her boss suggested she goes to India and write stories about the culture and also a way to reconnect with her roots since she's of Indian descent. Meanwhile, In Indian a police officer Harbhajan is not happy with his duty patrol, and is assigned as to Shania so that he could keep her in check. They started visiting weddings after weddings (hence the film's title 5 weddings), all while developing feelings for each other. She encounters a group of transgenders and sympathise with them because of the way they're being treated. she decided to write about it and post it online, but the Indian authority is against that, and makes Harbhajan steals her laptop and therefore creating a rift between them. After a brief fight, she goes to the authority herself and gives up all her research but for some reason only known to the director and the writers, she's forgiven and all her things are given back to her. She posts them online, and marries Harbhajan and they live happily ever after, if there's such a thing.

    The plot confuses itself, it started quite different but totally loses its way in the second act, and the final act is very predictable. The heroine played Margie Fakhri is my main problem, I don't particularly find her likable, infact she's quite annoying. There's an attempt to flesh out her character with some lackluster flashbacks but falls flat. Police officer Harbhajan played by Rajkummar Rao, I was surprised he take part in this movie, 'cause it seems a little bit below his pay grade, no? Anyways, his performance is quite decent but not a fan of his character either. The rest of cast are okay. The movie just looks depressingly low-budgeted, the cinematography is barely average, music is nothing to talk about. But I admire the filmmakers courage for the message they are trying to pass to the general public.

    Horrible acting and dialogue delivery

    Terrible film!!! Acting doesn't even deserve a star. I had better expectations from the main actors. The only good parts were the story about her father and the hijras.

    Cute, Fun w/ lots of weddings, transgenders and an interweave of all things Indian!

    Film is more for Goras than Desis. Desis will probably find it super vanilla but Goras will love it. Me personally, I liked it a lot.

    Raj always good, Nargis the real wild card who gives a fab performance. The driver - OMG - so freakin funny. If you liked The Big Sick - WATCH THIS!

    Why all the hate?

    Saw this with another couple and really enjoyed it. My first real exposure to Indian cinema and I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but we were entertained.

    Give it a miss unless there's nothing else to watch

    Firstly the female lead's acting is not good. Quite exaggerated acting and predictable script too. There's no surprises and plenty of cliches. The male lead did much better. But the storyline is not convincing. There's no depth. The ending seems very rushed and totally unbelievable. At least the cast look good, the costumes, weddings are colorful and pretty. The cinematography is good and picture shots are interesting. If there's nothing to else you want to watch that's available, I guess this movie is bearable with much forwarding which was exactly what I did after not being able to tolerate the bad script.
