Avoiding the overt Bollywood excesses and overdramatisation, Monsoon Wedding tackles the issues of traditional family values versus the modern world with humour and honesty. At times it can resemble a superior soap, and while it addresses some important issues, it remains entertaining, looks fantastic and leaves you with a warm fuzzy feeling at the end
The film's dazzling soundtrack is a spicy mix of old and new with original music by Mychael Danna sharing the audio space with modern dance tracks, old Bollywood hits and traditional Indian folk tunes - check out standout tracks like Your Good Name, Fabric Aaja Savariya (Come to me, my beloved), Hold me I'm falling, Mehndi/Madhorama Pencha and Fuse Box (Alexkid's Dub Remix). Even if you are unfamilar with Indian Music, don't let that ecelectic mix put you off, this is a joyful and exuberant soundtrack with entrancing melodies and rhythms that will get even the most stubborn feet moving.
