    Synopsis:
    Monsoon Wedding is an exuberant drama set in Punjabi, where ancient culture and dot.com modernity combine in unique and perfect harmony. The film traces five intersecting stories, each navigating different aspects of love as they cross boundaries of class, continent and morality. The plot centres around the last minute arranged marriage which joins together the Verma family from all around the world. The family re-unites in New Delhi to join in the celebrations with the bride and groom-to-be. The relentless summer heat mirrors the story`s building intensity as the city anticipates the cooling torrent of the monsoons, and when the rains come, the downpour brings romance, revelation and liberation. Directed by Mira Nair, Monsoon Wedding celebrates a modern side of India rarely seen on screen.
