Cultures and families clash in Mira Nair’s exuberant Monsoon Wedding, a mix of comedy and chaotic melodrama concerning the preparations for the arranged marriage of a modern upper-middle-class Indian family’s only daughter, Aditi.
“This drama by Mira Nair, from 2001, has been hailed as a feel-good spree, but it’s better than that—a barely stable compound of the wounding, the confusing, and the appealing.” — Anthony Lane, New Yorker
