“A big family wedding becomes a hotbed of secrets revealed, as one family prepares for the pageantry and vibrancy of a Punjabi wedding, set against the backdrop of the monsoon rains looming on the horizon. In this wonderfully colorful and vivacious film that balances drama with frenetic comedy, Nair proves her dexterity and versatility as a filmmaker. After the disastrous relationship with a boss twice her age ends, Aditi hastily agrees to an arranged marriage with Hamant, an engineer now living in Houston, Texas. As the date moves closer and the relatives start to arrive with their own agendas, the atmosphere begins to heat up, culminating in Aditi's decision to tell Hamant the truth about her past, which threatens the marriage ceremony itself. Rich in a splendor of sight and sound, with infusions of Bollywood-style musical numbers, Monsoon Wedding is a treat that celebrates the tradition and love of family.” -PSIFF 2002
