I recently watched Jemima Khan's film, "What's love got to do with it". Spoilers I guess.
And ..... I don't understand why it was so hyped? Pakistanis were gushing over it and the trailers actually DID make it seem like it would show a positive to arranged marriage and it just didn't, at all. The ⅔ of the film were headed in that direction and the final third just seemed so jarring to me.
It was, once again, a very rare piece of media made by "us" for "us" but actually catered to the white gaze.
I hope the handful of white middle aged women in the audience enjoyed the rest of the cinemas collective groan when the Pakistani lad kissed the white girl.
Sigh.

What's Love Got to Do with It?
What's Love Got to Do with It? [trailer]
In London, an award-winning film-maker documents her best friend's journey into an assisted marriage in line with his family's Pakistani heritage.
That turned out to actually be a more profound look at relationships than one would expect from a rom-com like that. I appreciated that.
While watching I briefly thought it might even not end with the mostly predictable happy-end(ings). But that was expecting too much.
Emma Thompson's character is sadly the one that unnecessarily lowers the level of the film.

The Kanpur communal riots broke out while the Karachi Congress session was on in 1931. 400 people were killed in this riot. The Congress leadership appointed a committee to look into the riot. AG Noorani refers to the report by this committee in his article on hate speech and the SC. Bhagwan Das was the chairman of this committee. Purshottam Das Tandon, Mazhar Ali Sokhte, Abdul Latif Bijnori and Zafarul Malik were the members. It must also be recalled that Sardar Patel was the President of Congress then. The committee came to this conclusion: 'It will be noted that all the main controversies which at present embitter and have latterly divided the two communities, for example, the cow question, Ramlila and Moharram, and other religious occasions or processions, music before mosques; as also the question of representation in services, in municipalities and councils, joint and separate electorate; safeguards; redistribution of provinces and federal, as opposed to a unitary, basis of the constitution - all these did not and could not have existed during the Muslim period. They are all products of the British period and British policy.' It is this statement that should be the guiding light for Indian democracy.
