'Wedding Season' Review: Much 'I Do' About Nothing (The New York Times)

To appease their moms, a pair of Indian American entrepreneurs pretend at romance over a spate of nuptials in this soulless romantic comedy on Netflix.

Bland montages trace the arc of these reluctant suitors, and although Sharda and Sharma are appealing performers, their relations lack surprise and soul. The story begins when two mothers, impatient for their grown children to find mates, stage coups over their online dating profiles. While neither likely informed the creation of this Netflix trifle directed by Tom Dey (“Failure to Launch”), these narrative echoes in tandem with a host of other clichés give the impression that the movie was composed by a trends-tracking algorithm.

Netflix's 'Wedding Season' Proves the Fake Dating Trope Never ... (Decider)

Wedding Season on Netflix is a romantic comedy that proves we can't get enough of the fake dating trope.

From The Perfect Date in 2019 to Purple Hearts, released on Netflix just last week, there’s no shortage of pretend relationships on Netflix. And now, the latest entry, Wedding Season, will remind audiences why they just can’t get enough. It’s starting to interfere with her girl bossing, so, to get her mom off her back, she agrees to go on a date with an MIT grad named Ravi (played by Life of Pi star Suraj Sharma). They don’t exactly get along, but the rumor of their date spreads fast in the gossiping Indian-American community. Pretend relationships, aka fake dating, have long been a favorite trope of the romantic comedy genre, from movies like The Proposal to While You Were Sleeping. You know how it goes: Two people who are not dating, and supposedly not interested in dating, agree to pretend to be dating for vague plot reasons.

Wedding Season movie review: Ethnic identity at constant odds with ... (News9 Live)

What is Wedding Season if not an invitation card into an appropriated-but-not-too-esoteric marriage of good-looking sensibilities? Starcast : Pallavi Sharda ...

As the only (token) white face in the film, Kleier plays along with the subversion of Hollywood template – he gets the irony of the American neurosurgeon desperately immersing himself into the deep end of Indian culture to impress the family. Sharma has starred in Hindi films as well as Hollywood dramas, and it's nice to see him come of age as a rom-com hero without succumbing to all the trappings of one. The intent is to reveal her as a workaholic waking up to the outdated values of the older generations, but the execution lacks a sense of gravitas. She doesn't have the best of writing to fall back on, but she makes a moderately spicy meal of it. Despite a bunch of family showdowns and speeches towards the end, I'm still not clear – how is he rich and not rich at once? In the meantime, she meets a marriage candidate named Ravi Shah (Suraj Sharma); they dislike one another, but decide to pretend to be a couple during the community's wedding season so that their parents stay off their backs. Asha Maurya (Pallavi Sharda) is a 30-something math whiz who left Wall Street banking to join the more humanitarian field of… The result is a film whose ethnic identity is at constant odds with its tired tropes. The arranged-love premise about youngsters trying to outwit their traditional parents by fake-dating during the city's wedding season is hardly specific to its setting; this central story is rooted more in a generational conflict rather than a cultural one. Only the packaging is different. In Wedding Season, a Netflix rom-com squarely based in the Hindu community of New Jersey's Newark, the story of a brown girl marrying a white boy is that of the protagonist's sister – it exists in the background, peripheral to the central love story of two gloriously brown Indian immigrants. Slowly but surely, the line between Indian/Pakistani stories and globally-produced stories about Indian/Pakistani immigrants is getting thinner.
