'Wedding Season' Ending, Explained: Do Asha And Ravi Reconcile ... (Digital Mafia Talkies)

Maybe it's time to launch a campaign titled "Justice for Rom-Coms," where we delete every such movie from existence that lacks emotional depth. "Wedding.

We hope that the next time somebody tries to make a romantic comedy about Indians in America, they do it with a proper understanding of the culture and complexities of life there instead of such a white-washed version, which is simply an opportunity lost. At Asha’s sister’s wedding, which is the last one of the season, Asha has a heart-to-heart with her mother where she tells her that she wants a life for Asha where she is happy and doing what she wants. The problem is, they could have just replaced the Indian actors and weddings with American ones, and it wouldn’t have made a difference to the story. At another party, a non-wedding one, Asha is surprised to find that Ravi is actually a DJ. They talk for a while, and Ravi confesses that he has been on the road for a long time and wants to take the time to figure out what he wants from life. He and Asha have a fight when he admits that he runs a foundation by the name of “Red Star.” Asha takes it to mean that he meddled in her job to get her the promotion, which must mean that he doesn’t believe in her. In a surprising turn of events, it turns out that the DJ at the wedding is Ravi. His date was his cousin, whom he had taken out for lunch. It is fundamental to a good rom-com, in fact, it is what makes such done and dusted tropes watchable. Asha reassures her that it will work out and that her fiance loves her to death. The moment of reconciliation is almost perfect when an aunty tries to tell the gathering that Ravi did not actually go to MIT. But both sets of parents tell her that they should learn from their children and accept people as they are. They are ready to celebrate when Asha and Ravi come in, and it is a great surprise to them that the real news was that of Asha’s promotion. She agrees, and at an interfaith wedding that has been boycotted by the bride and groom’s parents, both of them tear up a little hearing their stories, which is followed by them having their first dance. At the next wedding they go to, when some of the aunties start throwing shade at Asha about how she needs to find a husband fast, she makes an impulsive decision and announces that hers and Ravi’s date was not such a flop show after all and that they are seeing each other.

However, the dramatics fall under the usual rom-com tropes and these flaws are not deal breakers. Obviously, things aren’t that easy, as Asha’s insecurities from a previous relationship and secrets from Ravi’s past come to the fore. The two have a palpable chemistry that is sweet and endearing. Towards the end, we even see Asha’s become a little closer to her roots. Wedding Season is your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy, abound with fun tropes and cheesy dialogues, with one main difference — its protagonists are Indian American. This delightful love story shows how the same story can be markedly different when told from the perspective of a different race or culture. Like with most media related to India, the colours are vibrant but easy on the eyes.

It reminded me of my parents, who often worry about the unknown — especially when it comes to their kids’ careers — but are undeniably our biggest cheerleaders at the end of the day. The third act of the film is especially heartwarming in terms of the parental acceptance that both Asha and Ravi receive. Both sets of parents have moments of finally understanding their children and sharing their happiness in the fact that they are still thriving despite it all. Memorable Dialogue: After the couple inevitably has a falling out, Asha finds solace in an unlikely place: her overbearing mother. To get her parents off of her back, she makes a deal with them: she’ll meet one last boy named Ravi (Suraj Sharma) and go to all of the season’s weddings in exchange for them deleting her dating profile. The Gist: Asha (Pallavi Sharda) is a perennially single workaholic who has no interest in settling down just yet, though her more traditional Indian parents worry about her prospects as she gets older.

Here's where you recognise the cast of Netflix's Wedding Season from (The Tab)

Asha – Pallavi Sharda · Ravi – Suraj Sharma · Priya – Arianna Afsar · Nick – Sean Kleier · Suneeta – Veena Sood · Vijay – Rizwan Manji · Veena – Sonia Dhillon Tully.

Arianna is most well known for competing on American Idol in 2009 and was one of the final 36 contestants.

Suraj is most well known for his breakout role as Pi in the 2012 film Life of Pi, for which he earned a BAFTA Rising Star Award nomination. Wedding Season is available on Netflix now.

In the last few years there’s been A Perfect Pairing, Falling Inn Love, and now we have the newest one – Wedding Season.

'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” Star Pallavi Sharda Details How She ... (POPSUGAR Australia)

Wedding Season star Pallavi Sharda spoke to POPSUGAR about choreographing that epic dance scene at the end of the rom-com.

"The spirit of the cast came together," Sharda recalls. Sharma adds, "In front of the camera, everybody is wilding out. Sharma adds: "There were people in the cast who really just wanted to do a Bollywood dance because they were South Asian, but they'd never gotten to do it . . . And so, you had people, like [actor] Manoj [Sood], for example. The dance was a meaningful experience for not only Sharda and Sharma, but for the rest of the cast as well. Because filming took place during the COVID-19 shutdown, Sharda says the cast had to practice over Zoom. "It was just a perfect way to pep everyone up and to make sure we met every day, despite the fact that we were all re-quarantining," she explains. Sharda says Sood sent her an email the day after their park rehearsal saying he "wanted to go home and practice dance and make it a part of his life."
