In the spirit of other classic films about the joys, comedy and family chaos of weddings, Mira Nair offers an invitation to a rollicking and colorful Delhi ceremony. The Verma family is preparing for their daughter (Vasundhara Das) to wed a computer programmer (Parvin Dabas) in a traditionally arranged marriage. But neither the bride nor groom consider themselves traditional. Meanwhile other developments — some romantic — circle around the chosen couple. “Deeply sensual … pulsates with unforgettable characters” — Washington Post.
