An exuberant family drama set in Punjabi culture, where ancient tradition and dot-com modernity combine in unique and perfect harmony. As the romantic monsoon rains loom, the extended Verma family reunites from around the globe for a last-minute arranged marriage in New Delhi. "Monsoon Wedding" traces five intersecting stories, each navigating different aspects of love as they cross boundaries of class, continent, and morality. The film celebrates a contemporary India never before seen on screen. The film is filled with music, including ghazals (traditional love songs), modern Indian pop, jazz, bhangra (Punjabi folk/pop) and Bollywood music, all of which help to capture the varied and joyful sounds of a Punjabi wedding.
Rima Aranha, a doctoral student in the Social Foundations program in the Educational Leadership and Policy department, will facilitate a guided dialogue following the film.

I like punjabi music and movies but this film was made out of India. And probably it hard to understand the desi life style of Punjabis by this movie. Overall this blog - good job. Keep it Up!
