A wedding, a self-salvation of women and families

To be honest, it was a movie that surprised me very much. Because I don’t like the little emotion of being forced to watch songs and dances at every turn, I really seldom watch Indian movies. Even when I saw the first half of the movie, I thought it might be another movie. A critical film criticizes the tradition of arranged marriages, class solidification, class oppression, women being oppressed, etc., and then habitually watching the protagonist rebel against the world, find himself, the people at the bottom stand up, and so on. As a result, if you look at the back, you will find that it is not at all. From the perspective of women, the director makes the family very gentle. Most of the characters in it are positive, especially women. They are different from the Indian women in our impression. Whether it's a bride who was arranged in an arranged marriage, a cousin who was sexually assaulted when she was young, or a maid at the bottom, they all show initiative and bravery towards life to varying degrees. This is often the independence of women we want to see. And self; including the image of the father inside, the act of making the right choice after the final entanglement also makes people feel very convincing and moving. In the end, the two weddings in the rain echo each other, and then in one The rendezvous in the lively singing and dancing scene actually expresses the director's positive attitude towards Indian society, not to mention whether this attitude is good or not, it is a matter of opinion, but this is the highlight of the author's film. In addition, I feel that this female director is too good at filming the sexual tension between men and women. There is no passionate scene in the film, but the interaction between a pair of men and women can feel full of hormones and the progression of the relationship between the sexes. And explain, very in place.

    Unexpectedly wonderful! In the face of such a complex country as India, it is wonderful to use a grand wedding as an introduction!

    It's a really ordinary and plain story, and it uses a wedding to carry out a multi-character narrative. It seems realistic but lacks balance. There is no charm of any character. Of course, there are advantages. For example, it is very good that there is no special Indian custom.
