India Sweets and Spices

Overall, this film certainly has drama and heart relating to family.  The topics and themes are relatable, believable, and rather touching.  While there's a lot of cinema joy to be had, I am disappointed to admit that I didn't care for the romance elements, which felt highly forced, and weak and weren't required to tell a compelling story.  Fans of Crazy Rich Asians, this is certainly one for you.

Honestly I watched a little and it probably isn’t even a bad movie . Just not a movie for me 2.0

This could have been a film about any nationality, but it's so homogenized, it doesn't illustrate anything about Indian culture. Instead, the screenplay could have been out of the 80s and a coming of age drama or any other crap draft sitting around. It's formula and paint by numbers and never worth the time. It's an oft-told tale that we've seen dozens of times, other than this film focusing on people from India. Filled with cliches and characters that have little nuance, sadly, this is totally missable. Final Score: 4/10

C- ~ Movie was okay. Some funny/relatable moments but not all too interesting.

The movie starts off typical indo-american drama. Until the plot takes over and the experienced actors start to shine. Plot, though simple, is written well enough to keep us engaged. The best part of the movie is that no single actor attempts to overpower any scene. One can connect with every character's view point on the plot. Good light weight watch on a lazy day. They do vilify indo-american upper class quiet conveniently . Most probably to conclude as a happy movie.

Fun and likeable. Portrayal of the Indian community was spot on.

It was misleading. Expected a Bollywood movie in Hindi Language, but it turned out to be a low budget Hollywood movie in English

Sometimes trite but generally absorbing

All actors played their parts well, and their comedic timing was excellent. I felt the movie was excellent, and well worth seeing!

It's a very skewed depiction of Indian culture viewed through a tubular western lens. The reality among Indian families is much different. At the end of the day, Parents take care of their friend's kids as their own.
