Wedding Season

It’s a slight comedy, delicate as kheer with nothing remotely weighty about it. The biggest surprise about that might be the light touch veteran director Tom Dey brings to Shiwani Srivastava’s sweet and simple script.

It’s a processed confection that has come off the streaming assembly line. Yet if the comedy here is mostly routine, the romance is another thing. It really does work, because the actors don’t just phone in the love story — they dance with it, commit to it, and own it.

Wedding Season may appear to be another Hallmark-esque romantic comedy from Netflix, but it is actually a delightful endeavor that will warm the hearts of its viewers.

There will always be room for a good, breezy romcom, and the set-up of an Indian wedding is ripe for one. As churn-able Netflix content goes, Wedding Season is on the better end of the spectrum.

Wedding Season is mostly flavorless, but its interest in capitalistic success inspires a pucker of bad taste.
