Mariage de saison

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.

I give rom coms that can hold it together a 6 or 7. But this movie got some genuine chuckles out of me. The actors had good comic timing, even though the story was predictable. However, I really enjoyed that the movie includes how love can be between people of different religions and backgrounds and the acceptance of it without being heavy handed.

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.

No pun intended and not this is not about being pregnant but rather about parents and their kids ... about your own life, your plans ... mostly when it comes to career planning. And that goes against wishes from parents who want their kids to get married - especially daughters/girls.

Of course the movie is filled with cliches - so you can call this cringe or whatever else makes you (un)happy, but it is what it is. Either get on board with it or do not watch at all. Considering other romantic comedies, this actually works mostly. It is because the main characters/actors have some chemistry! They work well together ... it is not about surprises, you will be able to guess where the movie is going with its story .. but it is a fun ride up until that point.

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.
