A Suitable Girl (2017)

A Suitable Girl

11 reviews
7/10

Male Dominance

Great story showing how families go about arranging marriages (finding a suitable male) for their daughters. Would have liked to have seen commentary on the ridiculously high costs to procure a husband and stage a marriage which as a percentage of income is much higher than in the Western world. Also would have liked to have seen what happens to the girls/women and their families when they don't get married. Would have liked to have been given some information on the high levels of abuse, divorce and subsequently being cast out with shame and no education into society. And, commentary on young girl arranged marriages.

Very real and narrative of the great Indian marriage

This documentory is very realistic and evident of indian marriage tradition, it depicts how suitable brides are searched in indian traditions. The documentory is based on 3 different girls from different n parts of the country each with their own narrative on pre and post marriage lives!

Fascinating!

I loved Dipti's story the best. It was hard to watch her get rejected repeatedly. So glad she found a man who was worthy of her. Wish them every happiness.

Why do they always show India as 'gareeb, traditional culture'?

India has so much of diversity with different strata of people. However, the shows that i have come across show camels walking on the streets?? How frequently does that happen?? This show highlights the Seema aunty mentality once again!! I am myself in the process of matchmaking as the directors put it, but never came across this 'kundali', 'allowed to work', 'stop the job and be a housewife' kind of hype that these shows show. Which mother has asked her daughter to stop working and focus on saying yes to a guy? Please guys, india is beyond the 'gareeb hindustani' vibe now, please show our IT hubs, educated women, working people, wonderful architecture and expensive cars rather than camels, poor people with flowing noses and old shattered buildings, thats not the ONLY presentation of India!!!!!

Real Indian Middle Class Matchmaking

The objectification and materialism is there but this is way more realistic than Indian matchmaking anyday. Shows how Seema aunty has evolved from this stage to what we see her today.

Superb movie

A very realistic, feel good movie in a documentary format. Good music. Follows the lives of 3 girls from very different backgrounds. Worth watching for sure!

Boring

Good thing about this show was that is was realistic and showed the actual customs and traditions of Indian Marriages. It also showed what a girl and her family has to go through during and after the process of marriage. But it missed a lot of important aspects of the marraige and I feel there was a lot of scope for making this show in a better way.
