Funny, Romantic, and Beautiful. Realistic or not, the film, set in India, not only tells the stories of those in romantic relationships but also deals with heavy issues. Honesty, trust, love (familial and romantic), honor...all are subjects in this film. The music is beautiful, the lines are funny, and the stories are romantic (in more ways than one). Rent it!

I loved Monsoon Wedding! The movie shows the power of true love, faith, and forgiveness! Plus I enjoyed seeing the beautiful colors and colorful clothing of India, amazing!

For we sometimes provincial Americans, this is an amazing and enlightening look at modern-day, upper-middle-class India. A terrific and talented cast delivering nuanced performances in a film that is about MUCH more than it appears at its outset. I won't give away the plot, but believe me, there is a LOT going on this movie and I think it is safe to say you will find it to rank among the best of foreign (or American) films.

Yes, it's can be cheesy. But this movie is a funny and entertaining way of seeing what an Indian wedding is like...family, noise, choas, and love.

Cool to see Delhi again. Had its moments, but it was trying to bridge that gap between Hollywood and Bollywood, with more lean towards the latter for my taste. In other words, a bit of cheese, a kind ...

Cool to see Delhi again. Had its moments, but it was trying to bridge that gap between Hollywood and Bollywood, with more lean towards the latter for my taste. In other words, a bit of cheese, a kind of non-realistic/idealistic/simplistic way of dealing with relationships and resolving serious issues.

I didn't finish this movie. I couldn't follow it with the sub titles. I don't know if it ever went into English. I didn't have the patience for this. I tried twice.

I really enjoyed the muliple love plot lines in this film. It was a nice portrayal of an extended Indian family in Dehli as they prepared for the big wedding of their daughter.

I realize the culture of India is different then American, but this was total chaos! You may have to watch it twice, but I didn't!
