Mira Nair (Mississippi Masala, Salaam Bombay) presents a charming, funny and touching look at the conflict between modern relationships and family traditions. The scattered members of an Indian family gather in New Delhi for an arranged marriage ceremony--an event complicated by past relationships, family secrets, cross-cultural lifestyles, and the weather. Nair fuses the loose, ensemble feel of an Altman film with a touch of Bollywood spectacle. "...one of those joyous films that leaps over national boundaries and celebrates universal human nature" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). In English, Punjabi and Hindi, with English subtitles.
