Monsoon Wedding chronicles Lalit Verma (Naseeruddin
Shah) as he plans the wedding festivities for his daughter’s arranged
marriage. As the big day looms, the Vermas
deal with the financial burden of the wedding, the ins and outs of marriage to
a stranger, out of town guests, and family secrets that threaten to unravel
both the wedding and the family itself.
Director Mira Nair brilliantly offers a look at Indian culture that is
funny, compelling and heart-warming. The
music, the dance and the vivid imagery are almost as captivating as the
characters. You will laugh, you will cry
and in the end you will revel at the celebration of love and family.
