Monsoon Wedding (2002)
Harmless, inoffensive fluff. Unfortunately, it is saddled with a out-of-place incest subplot that drags down the second half like stones in the stomach of a wolf. Once again, I find myself in an Osama quandary -- more explicitly, I think a film about the blue-collar wedding planner and the servant girl would have been more interesting than the film that got made. (A film about two lower-caste people improbably finding love amidst a bunch of upper-caste nitwits? What's not to love?)
Grade: C
