Much of the movie's incidental fun comes from acute little observations and clever set-pieces.

REVIEWS FOR MONSOON WEDDING
A late radical shift in tone, from jittery exuberance to ruinous alienation, strikes an impressive contemporary note amid all the obeisance to custom.

Top Critic... among the most universal of films
Mar 2, 2010
Nair's stereotype-shattering movie -- like the polymorphous culture it illuminates -- borrows from Bollywood, Hollywood and cinema verite, and comes up with something exuberantly its own.
Aug 18, 2008
Top CriticSplashy, noisy and downright fun.
Jun 5, 2008
Top CriticAn optimistic and luscious film.
Dec 30, 2006
The impression of cosmopolitan modern India, of diaspora lives thrown into collision and collusion, is engaging in itself, but the emotional optimism here is the most heartening aspect of this vivacious film.
Jun 24, 2006
Strongly infused with an unmistakably exotic Bollywood flair while addressing themes and concerns that are universal–namely, the bonds of family and, most importantly, love.
Dec 6, 2005
Um filme alegre, colorido e fascinante.
Jul 25, 2003
The romantic comedy even goes into somber territory, but it never loses its grasp of tone or its undenying beauty.
May 3, 2003
Es una de esas películas de las que uno sale reconfortado, agradecido, genuinamente sorprendido.

The best day out you'll have this year.
Mar 26, 2003
It's not just a touching, funny, multi-layered drama; it's an exuberant love poem to a city and a culture in transition.
Feb 16, 2003
Superbly acted, gorgeously photographed, enjoyable and engaging drama by Mira Nair, with a terrific soundtrack to boot -- the perfect Hollywood/Bollywood crossover film.
Oct 30, 2002
Monsoon Wedding is not to be missed.
Oct 21, 2002
so alive and colorful (both literally and metaphorically) that it's easy to overlook its formulaic nature
Oct 13, 2002
Una delicia, una cinta obligada y algo de lo mejor que se ha visto en mucho tiempo.
Oct 8, 2002
May not have as much gusto as My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but has more refinement and flair
Sep 25, 2002
By the last shots of the family members dancing and laughing, I was as happy as them!
