Re: Monsoon Wedding (DVD)

I love the story line of this movie. It is based around a wedding that was arranged for a man's only daughter and an Indian boy who lives in America. The family comes back to Delhi, India from all parts of the world in order to participate in the next four days of ceremonies leading up to the wedding. Along the way dark secrets are uncovered and dealt with, which in turns keeps things fresh and exciting. Why did I buy this movie? Simple, because I LOVE IT! {lol}

I love this Movie!!! Such Beautiful Love story--a Must

This is one of my favorite love stories. The Picture and subtitles are excellent. Most of it is in English but some of the people talk in Hindi and then the Subtitles will come on. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to find a beautiful and unique love story to buy. It is definitely worth the money and your family and friends will love it to. The Indian culture is so unique and colorful and this movie brings out the best in India and shows how the Indian culture celebrates weddings. Buy it---you won't be disappointed.

One of my all time favorites

I saw this movie when it first came out. Recently, I rented it again off netflix. When, after about a week, I was still watching it repeatedly and not wanting to return it I decided this is just one of those movies I wanted to own.
This movie is very sweet, very gentle. The characters range in attributes and are very human. My favorite character is the wedding planner, who eats chrysanthumums throughout the movie. This is a movie about love and family. While not for children, it is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon or evening.

sweet

The first time I saw this movie i fell in love with it
however the second time i watched it, I didn't enjoy it as much.
It doesn't portray realistic Indian family life
however it is a beautiful film.
I liked the Love story between Dubie and Alice.
Very sweet ~ If you like punjabi dancing, music, and culture,
Monsoon wedding would be a wonderful choice.

Great Introduction to Bollywood

This is the first Indian movie I ever watched. It is in English and that makes it easy on American viewers. I find that when I mention Indian movies to American friends they seem intimidated or turned off by subtitles. It has never been a problem for me. What impressed me about this movie was the dance sequences, especially the one at the end when the usually unhappy character gets caught up in the excitement because he wins his girl, too. Can all Indian women dance like this, with so much excitement and energy. They put Americans to shame. And it's not just the young ones, but the middle aged and older who have talent.
The plot is like most Bollywood movies meant for entertainment, the obstacles to a couple getting married. There are troubles to overcome for both bride and groom, but they there is no pulling of punches or glossing over the issues in dealing with them. No skirting of the trouble involved.
Needless to say, I have seen dozens of Bollywood classics since then, most with subtitles, so that it takes adjusting to movies without them.
