Picture This

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 :(

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.

Some parts were very funny, others the comedy felt forced and was too much. Jay was the best comedic character and the actor is very talented.

Charlie and Pia really lacked chemistry (does nobody screen test anymore?) which alongside the minimal amount of screentime really didn't make the romance element exciting.

I did love the character of Pia and some of her family moments but it was a bit try hard.

Best part of the film was Jay & Pia's friendship! So if you're looking for a classic romance which makes you feel warm inside, this isn't the one due to the lack of romantic scenes & chemistry alike!

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.

This film had all the ingredients of a great Rom Com. It had beautiful and talented actors and actresses. A funny and sweet story line. A gay best friend, a lovely crazy Indian family but the over acting in it was just awful. It completely ruined it. It was a real shame.

Hero Fiennes was barely in it. Still it would have been acceptable if the acting wasn't so overtly odd. The main characters were constantly at each others throats in quite an agressive way. It did not give you that warm fuzzy feeling inside.

I struggled to watch it all the way through the first time. I won't be watching it again. I know the actors are good. So it must be bad directing. Costumes and design were great, music was fun! Could have been good..... but it was sadly pretty awful.
