Sinopsis:
- Los preparativos de una elegante boda en Nueva Delhi, que durará cuatro días, reflejan los conflictos entre generaciones partidarias de seguir las tradiciones y otras defensoras de la modernidad. A Lalit Verma y a su mujer Pimmi la boda concertada de su hija les lleva casi al borde de un ataque de nervios y de la quiebra. Otras historias paralelas se desarrollan a medida que van llegando a la ciudad parientes procedentes de todo el mundo. El novio llega de Houston (Texas), donde trabaja como ingeniero, para conocer a la novia. La novia, por su parte, acepta el compromiso a regañadientes, pues está enamorada de un presentador de televisión. Los preparativos de la boda exigen contratar a un organizador profesional y el elegido será P.K. Dubey, que es un inteligente joven de clase media.
Comentario personal:
- Comedia dramática con tintes sociales, inferior a "Salaam Bombay!" (1988) y destinada al público occidental, pero que contiene un retrato bastante mordaz de la clase media-alta india.
Ángel Fdez. Santos, en El País, escribió:Gozosa, vibrante... Mira Nair hace su más hermoso trabajo.
En SensaCine se escribió:En una fastuosa mansión de Nueva Delhi, los Verma, una familia hindú, se preparan para celebrar la gran boda de su hija Aditi según la tradición del Punjab. Cientos de parientes son invitados, llegados de todas las partes del mundo, desde Australia a Silicon Valley. Los preparativos van a buen ritmo, pero una serie de incidentes y revelaciones se encargarán de “sazonar” la boda.
AMG SYNOPSIS: Following up on her controversial erotic drama Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love, Mira Nair directs this charming family drama about a very chaotic Indian wedding. Lalit Verma (Naseeruddin Shah) is a wealthy father who is trying to see that his daughter Aditi's wedding goes off without a hitch. Though familiar with Western ways, he has little patience with them and is dead set on seeing the nuptials done properly and traditionally. Disillusioned with her long time relationship with Vikram -- a man who is almost twice her age -- Aditi (Vasundhara Das) suddenly agrees to submit to an arranged marriage with Hemant, an engineer from Houston. Yet as the ceremony nears, she gets cold feet and returns to see her former lover -- even though it could spell disaster for everyone involved. Meanwhile, Aditi's comely 17-year-old cousin Ayesha is coming to terms with her blossoming sexuality and has her sights set on Rahul, another relative who is a college student in Australia. Then there is Rai -- also Aditi's cousin -- who has a shocking revelation to make. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto and Venice Film Festivals. At Venice, Monsoon Wedding won the prestigious Golden Lion award. -- Jonathan Crow
AMG REVIEW: Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding is a warm embrace of a movie, a bright splash of romance and familial feeling. From the explosion of color and music that marks the opening credits, Nair builds a sense of anticipation for the whirlwind of romantic comedy and drama that marks her film. Winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, Monsoon Wedding shares its cultural richness and sweep with her previous films. As in Salaam Bombay and Mississippi Masala, life seems to seep in from the edges of the frame. Sabrina Dhawan's script carries the Nair trademarks -- strong supporting characters, and a good ear for how people speak and interact. The script was further developed through intensive rehearsals with the cast and crew. The story is deceptively simple, but touches on issues of class, child abuse, and cultural difference, all in seamless deference to the drama. Assisted by a large and talented group of actors, including personal friends and family (for example, the filmmaker's own nephew, Ishaan Nair, plays the bride's younger brother, Varun), Nair has created a film of intimate detail and universal appeal. One standout in the cast is Vijay Raaz, who plays the buffoonish, but, as it turns out, shyly romantic, marigold-munching Dubei. Raaz manages to make this dual personality completely credible. There's a regrettable patness to the film's coda. But for the most part, Monsoon Wedding honestly captures the spirit of modern Delhi -- the mix of languages (English, Hindi, and Punjabi), the blend of traditional culture and modern technology, the proximity of upper and lower classes, and the influence of Bollywood movies on everyday life. It's not just a touching, funny, multi-layered drama, it's an exuberant love poem to a city and a culture in transition. -- Josh Ralske
