Monsoon WeddingIcon_movClass_M

2001, 144 minutes, Rated M

Welcome to the happiest wedding of the year... This splashy, noisy audience pleaser from Mira Nair (Salaam Bombay!) is a chaotic comedy of manners.

As the romantic monsoon rains loom, the extended Verma family reunites from around the globe, for a last-minute arranged marriage in New Dehli.

Monsoon Wedding traces five intersecting stories, each navigating different aspects of love as they cross boundaries of class, continent and morality. The film celebrates a contemporary India never before seen on screen.

The family's hopes, anxieties and long-guarded secrets merge amid frantic wedding montages of real-life New Dehli. The relentless summer heat mirrors the story's building intensity, as the city anticipates the cooling torrent of the monsoons. And when the rain comes, the catharic downpour brings romance, revelation and liberation.
