Monsoon Wedding 2001 Criterion BDRip 720p DTS-HighCode

Lalit Verma is a father who is trying to organize an enormous, chaotic, expensive wedding for his daughter, for whom he has arranged a marriage with a man she has known for only a few weeks. As so often happens in Mira Nair's beloved Punjabi culture, such a wedding means that, for one of the few times each generation, the whole family comes together from all corners of the globe. The bride, Aditi Verma, is nervous, as she has been having an affair with her married ex-boss Vikram. Ria Verma, a cousin of the bride, was sexually abused by her uncle, Lalit's brother-in-law and the family's patriarch, some years earlier, and finally speaks out to prevent his abuse of another young girl in the family, Aliyah. The wedding contractor, PK Dubey, falls in love with the family's maid, Alice. The bride's brother Varun struggles with his father's disapproval of his longing to be a chef and angst at his inability to satisfy the stereotypes of conventional Indian masculine characteristics, possibly stemming from a struggle to come to terms with the boy's homosexuality. Ayesha, the bride's youngest marriageable relative, flirts with Aditi's cousin Rahul, who has just returned from Melbourne. This is all set within the two days preceding the wedding, predominantly at the Vermas' home.
