This movie unfolds with a gradual charm as a Norwegian woman shares her Christmas traditions with her Indian fiancé, offering a portrayal of cultural diversity. The exploration of Norwegian and Indian customs is handled thoughtfully, capturing moments of both clash and harmony. The narrative subtly delves into cultural prejudices, adding depth to the characters. While it may resonate more with Norwegians who've explored India, the film provides a balanced reflection of evolving Norwegian Christmas traditions, occasionally employing some exaggeration. It's an engaging yet measured cinematic experience, celebrating love amid diverse traditions.

Initially, this movie appears to be based on the familiar concept of time travel (loops), but is made in a brilliant and original way. Movies that make you reflect on your own life and motivates you to actually change are rare. This movie is certainly one of those rare jewels, focusing on the importance of living in the present and caring for family and friends, rather than being self-centered and selfish. Workaholics would benefit from seeing this movie. The weakness of the movie is that it took the main character too long time to understand that he needed to change, in particular to free up time to spend with family and friends.
