Congrats My Ex || Madness Overloaded, Treat for the Eyes...well...that's it.
A treat for the eyes. Not for the soul - A nice attempt to blend Indian and Thai culture.
Hoooooo boy! Where do I start?
From the moment I saw the trailer I knew what to expect. I knew what kind of film it is going to be and even though I wanted to be wrong, I am not. It's a rom-com and as cringe as I thought it would be. But I am not disappointed. In fact, the minus points of this film is also the plus points.
Spoiler Alert: Proceed with Caution
So, Risa (Bella Ranee) finds out that she is the wedding planner of her ex boyfriend (Arun/Mahir Pandhi). Ouch!
And then as if it is not hurtful enough, the emergency photographer she had to hire is actually another ex (Tim/Bright). Wowzers!
When asked how stereotypical melodramatic rom-com you want it to be ? They really said HELL YES!
From the Indian soap opera like sequences, to overly dramatic horse riding to overacting sidekicks to garbage dialogues, try-hard-to-make-people-laugh slapstick comedic moments it had everything!!!
This is me when I see my bestie making a fool of herself before her crush
But still I enjoyed everything. Why? It was fun to watch a nice amalgamation of the two cultures.
Bright in Sherwani
I have a little crush on Anahita Bhooshan ngl
The Bollywood style dance number
And the depiction of Indian wedding, well more like typical North Indian (mostly Punjabi style, although Sangeet is now almost a part of all kind of Indian weddings) upper class traditional wedding.
This is Karan Johar style but minus the extreme emotional parts.
I was this close to tear my hair in the scene where Arun is riding (get your minds out of the gutter, he is literally lying akimbo on the car trying to stop it - talk about Bollywood...) the bonnet of the car but I was also snorting with laughter.
The dream sequence where Risa is getting married to Arun and Monica is slapping her repeatedly is my flashback to overtly melodramatic soap operas. As much as I was cringing hard, I was also having fun as the film is sarcastically making fun of it. I was both laughing and crying.
Honestly, there is not much story here. The only thing you see is the grandeur. Don't come here expecting much acting and plotline. And no expectations. It's a one time watch film. But I would applaud the makers of it for even bringing it to existence.
I hope we get more good stories that reflects more of the two countries and the cultures.

my initial thoughts on Thais's flower being advice is that she is going to bring some much needed common sense to the twp gang. a kind of balance I would expect from being Dru "hid a teenage boy in her bedroom at 13" Blackthorn's best friend really
