Joshua Rothkopf
A late radical shift in tone, from jittery exuberance to ruinous alienation, strikes an impressive contemporary note amid all the obeisance to custom.
David Ansen
Nair's stereotype-shattering movie -- like the polymorphous culture it illuminates -- borrows from Bollywood, Hollywood and cinema verite, and comes up with something exuberantly its own.
Deborah Young
Splashy, noisy and downright fun.
The impression of cosmopolitan modern India, of diaspora lives thrown into collision and collusion, is engaging in itself, but the emotional optimism here is the most heartening aspect of this vivacious film.
Robert Denerstein
A feel-good picture in the best sense of the term.
Michael Wilmington
A movie to fall in love by and with, a wedding to unite both the two film families and the dazzled multicultural movie audiences who watch them.

Chuck Wilson
It's as if Nair had set herself on a careerlong mission to strip from every storytelling element all the years of manipulation and bad acting that have turned them into clichés, until all that's left is simple emotion, fully experienced.
User reviews
Must see. Saw this movie when it was released in the United States, loved it. Must see for everyone. You laugh, cry, become shocked at family secrets.
