Monsoon Wedding was an excellent film and a welcome follow up to Daughters of the Dust. It's got the look and feel of a Bollywood film without the unfathomable length or random music numbers. As you may have guessed from the title, it's about a wedding.
Aditi Verma is a young Indian woman who has just broken off an affair with a TV producer to prepare for an arranged marriage with an Indian man living in Texas. Neither her family nor her fiance knows about the affair, so there's even more tension than a usual wedding in the air. The movie follows the two days leading up to the wedding, with the tail end taking place on the day of the wedding itself. It has a few "twists," but most of them aren't that surprising.
All in all, Monsoon Wedding is another five out of five. It might even be my favorite movie from the class so far!
