Showing big Indian fat weddings.. ditching the traditional customs

[ektasharma · 5/10 · 15 February 2021]

Just how big fat indian weddings are planned & executed is shown. The wedding planners part won't interest much & gets way too boring sometimes. Every wedding involve atleast one new way of challenging/ditching the traditional customs that are happening since ages (you may support it or find it a bit extra) but that's sort of main highlight of every wedding other than nothing interesting in series to watch. You can skip it.

Nothing new!

How long Netflix will be milking the same cow? It is just reshooting of old .. nothing exciting to watch again.

Such beautiful cinematography...shame they couldn't do it justice

[PanamaVeggie · 4/10 · 7 August 2021]

The people and weddings featured were definitely interesting and the cinematography was stunning, it's such a shame that this was so poorly produced in every other aspect. First and foremost...the most egregious error...let's talk about the music. SO WRONG. Clayton Hogermeer's "I Love You Like" is a lovely song...and it's the worst possible choice for a show about big fat Indian weddings. I could've born it...just skipped the intro and watched the episode...but the sappy so-not-Indian soundtrack continues throughout each episode. I tried watching."A Family Affair" ("Collection 2")...kept waiting for the slow intro montage to end and for the episode to begin in earnest but no...it's a full 45 minutes of Shaadi montage with a jarringly western score (again, it's nice music, but it's so out of tune with what you're watching...how on earth did everyone involved in this production agree that this was the way to go?) I'm so bummed, would've really loved to watch and enjoy the beautiful footage and some lengthier interviews (as opposed to a stream of snippets set to sappy songs) but I just couldn't take another minute.

Enlightening look in what these rich indian weddings really are about: Bridezillas and social status.

[danyb55 · 1/10 · 19 February 2021]

What a boring look into these nonsensical events...that have only one goal: spending a ridiculous amount of money to get some kind of social recognition/status. Instead of impressing the viewer the show only succeeds in showing how annoying are these bridezillas, spending a lot of energy for a shallow and ephemeral event. Weddings seem to be primordial events in the indian society and sadly the show focuses on the organization of the event and not it's deep social meaning.

The more I saw, the more irritated I felt !

[poonamdd555 · 1/10 · 26 March 2021]

I really wanted to enjoy this show. The idea of an extravagant display of fake celebration is never a good idea for a show. I would have rather preferred to watch how a middle class family celebrates the best wedding day based on a budget. I feel like that's something majority of folks, both Indian or otherwise would prefer to see. This show is just a recurring reminder of what's called "paisa bolta hai" (money speaks).

Blown out of proportion

[capri_can-01644 · 1/10 · 21 March 2021]

Stupid and utterly wierd show. Netflix india is trying ti destroy hinduism.

Celebration of the couple!

[aknsha · 7/10 · 15 February 2021]

Bringing a lot of modern takes to an otherwise patriarchal industry, the show is all about celebrating the couple and their choices.

Doing weddings more for individual happiness than putting on a facade for guests - this is essentially all what the show is about. The three episodes revolve around this theme with a lot of cute adorable decor stuff.

Good for an idle Sunday noon watch. Disappointed just a tad bit because it still doesn't quite comes across as something with a lot of depth or substance.

It's visually pretty but entirely forgettable.

Worst series, stopped watching after first episode

[mcamanishgoyal · 1/10 · 19 February 2021]

Non-sense and annoying weddings spreading wrong message of wasting money and ditching customs.

Hated watching it

[anshulk-77395 · 1/10 · 17 February 2021]

Pretentious, show offs rich people spending absurd amount of money on lavish weddings which makes no sense. I would have loved if they had shown a contrast of how a poor and an average Indian family gets married along with these rich snobs.

Good series liked all episodes

[deeptikhemani20 · 8/10 · 22 February 2021]

This series shows the modern Indian brides and their point of view about marriage. It invokes a thought process of the things which matter in wedding. Past rituals which do not promote equality of a man and a woman in married life should most definitely be removed.

Utter stupid show

[tewariambrish-14887 · 1/10 · 20 February 2021]

This show was a waste of time and more than that it was also showing Hinduism in a very bad light. I especially hated Pallavi who provided a horrendous misinterpretation to the beautiful ritikal of Kanyadaan. I hope she receives good education someday.

Zero

[omarashaif · 1/10 · 18 February 2021]

Zero 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 Worse movie nothing new here. All fake people show off. Boring people Boring sense Stupid cinematography

What's the point?

[stassiahoang · 1/10 · 11 April 2021]

Boring! Monotonous and slow, the stories being told do not grasp the viewer.

Worst Of WORST

[Ayush_sri · 1/10 · 20 February 2021]

NETFLIX INDIA IS GOING DOWNHILL.....WITH THESE SHOWS....ABSOLUTELY ZERO

Superficial and Tasteless

[duckonthedam · 1/10 · 20 February 2021]

No mention of love or sacrifice ... Just a vulgar display of excess wealth in a never-ending and thoroughly meaningless parade of gaudiness. I don't think India learned anything from Mother Theresa.

Empty. Waste of time.

[aramahanta · 1/10 · 1 May 2021]

It captures and glorifies extravagant weddings held by crazy rich Indians. The display of wealth is intimidating. That's all it is. Nothing else.

Nothing new, but shiny and luxury entertainment

[teinzus · 10/10 · 16 February 2021]

So we binged Netflix Indian Matchmaking quite a lot and now we see 4 uber big and 2 decent indian styled weddings of couples that knew each other for a long time. I don't care for the vanity and extravagance but the weddings are beautifully shot. If you try to find insight into the Indian wedding industry you may want to give Amazons Made in Heaven a chance but if you want enjoy modern Indian weddings in a MTV video clip style this is your menu. Sadly it is devoured only after 3 short episodes.

Pathetic show

[sanchitkaushiksk · 1/10 · 12 April 2021]

This has to be on of the most pathetic shows that I ever watched on OTT platform.

Don't watch

[nammrata · 1/10 · 11 March 2021]

Worst thing I have seen in netflix. Don't watch it. You will be wasting your precious time.

PUBLICITY!

[maanikroda · 2/10 · 11 April 2021]

Alright. I'll have a destination wedding but Netflix's chosen a path which rarely happens in a middle class life.

It's shame that #Netflix have decided to air. Likewause Sima The Big Wedding Day you can't come up with this.
