about the film...

As the romantic monsoon rains loom, the extended Verma fammily reunites from around the
globe for a last-minute arranged marriage in New Delhi. Monsoon Wedding traces five intersecting
stories, each navigating different aspects of love as they cross boundaries of class, continent and
moriality. The film celebrates a contemporary India never seen on screen.

The family's hopes, anxieties and long-guarded secrets emerge amid frantic wedding
preparations, and are juxtaposed with arressing montages of real-life Delhi. The relentless
summer heat mirrors the story's building intensity as the city anticipates the cooling torrent of the
monsoons. And when rain comes, the cathartic downpor brings romance, revelation and
liberation.

**Please come out and enjoy a wonderfully made film and celebrate Asian Pacific American
Month!
