Wedding Season Review: Netflix Rom-Com Succeeds With Heart & Sincerity
screenrant.comWedding Season may appear to be another Hallmark-esque romantic comedy from Netflix, but it is actually a delightful endeavor that will warm the hearts of its viewers.
Wedding Season follows Asha (Pallavi Sharda), a young Indian woman who has recently had a few significant changes in her life. She ended her engagement to a well-off bachelor who was mom-approved. She also ended her career in banking to get into microeconomics. Her mother, Suneeta (Veena Sood), is overly concerned with her daughter's marriage prospects and decides to set her up on a dating website hoping to use modern tactics to arrange a marriage for her. Of course, Asha wholeheartedly disagrees. Enter Ravi (Suraj Sharna). Asha and Ravi meet as he also has been set up by his parents. The two don’t quite hit it off, but after a few run-ins, Asha comes up with an idea that will totally not backfire — she and Ravi pretend to date to appease their parents and be free from their pressure.

If there were fewer montages and more scenes with them getting to know each other, then Wedding Season would have been perfect.
