5 Weddings

ComedyDramaRomance94 min

Nargis Fakhri is an American journalist sent to India to cover a run of Bollywood weddings, but the assignment quickly widens into a tangle of cultural clashes, romance, and personal detours. As she moves through the pageantry and pressure of one celebration after another, the story keeps shifting away from glossy ceremony and toward the people around it, including a key connection with Rajkummar Rao. Moving between American and Indian perspectives, the film uses the wedding circuit as a backdrop for misunderstandings, lost loves, and questions of identity that keep complicating the article she came to write.
