Title: Hey, it's true
Review: When Mira Nair does her "director's commentary" on the DVD, she says that watching this movie is "like being at her dinner table for two hours," so close is this to her own experience of being in an upper middle class, westernized Punjabi family in Delhi.I wondered how this could be so, as it doesn't correspond with popular conceptions of India today. Don't get me wrong--I found it hilarious, touching, visually beautiful--but I did wonder if it could be reality in any way. After the harsh truthfulness of, say, SALAAM BOMBAY!, had Nair completely gotten away from her documentary roots?But when I was in Delhi I met families exactly like this, and saw exactly how representative of a certain type of modern Indian family this is. I am so glad that this different slice of life is well represented by this beautiful film.The actors are brilliant, both the well-known actors and the first-timers. The actor who plays the wedding planner is particularly fun to watch. Definitely worth seeing.
