Monsoon Wedding (2001)
The mainstream success of Slumdog Millionaire should have, by all rights, brought attention to lesser known Indian films, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be happening. This beautiful film about a traditional Indian wedding and the family drama that accompanies it is colorful and touching, creating characters that the audience deeply cares about by the end (even if you're not entirely sure how everyone is related to each other). It blends secondary plotlines together a la Love Actually, though this one has a storyline that everything revolves around while Love Actually is more about vignettes based on the same theme. Half of the dialogue is subtitled and half isn't, but that's not really distracting.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
