‘The Big Day’ Review: Netflix gets romantic with a docuseries about extravagant Indian wedding
" The Big Day" is directed by Ashish Sohai, Akriti Mehta and Faraz Arif Ansari. It is a film featuring Divia and Aman, Nihita and Mukund, Nepal A documentary featuring Ting and Ami, Palavi and Rajat, Aditya and Getty, Tyrone and Daniel. Throughout the three episodes, the only thing it has to say is that the rich exist and they get married in the most excessive way. What is shocking is the lack of self-awareness at every level, which shows that the two Indias that exist on the subcontinent cannot be bridged unless we stop pimping by the upper class.
What Is the Story About?
The big day (or as the style of the show, the big day) look at each episode of two luxurious Indian weddings, showing how the big industry has gotten how many brides, grooms and planners can deviate from tradition while still keeping what is sacred intact . We have seen a lot about the Indian industry, bringing people together to get married, but the wedding itself creates the entire industry
Key point: In the first episode, we see Divia and Oman, they have been together for 11 years (according to Oman, 12 years; he does not count the middle years of their breakup). They definitely want a wedding that reflects their values. Of course, it will be show off, but it will not be like Divia mentioned that she has seen "show" weddings in India over the past few years. They plan to get married in the large Alila Fort Bishangar hotel in Jaipur. Their plan is to use sustainable materials that can be used in the village and/or biodegradable. Although Divia is a strict bride, she likes that her wedding project will have a customized quality, imperfection and all.
Both Nishita and Mukunde are from the California Bay Area. When Nishita’s sister married Mukund’s younger brother, they actually fell in love: in the planning stage, they spent so much time together, and they loved On the other side. Silicon Valley executive Nihita is fully responsible for her wedding planning until the final details. They are planning to get married in Chennai, and it looks like they don’t want to do anything, from the welcome party to the Meendi ceremony, to the Sanjit (the party the night before), it looks like a Bollywood movie theater. With so many lights, fire effects, and tiny details, you would think that the wedding was held in Las Vegas, not Chennai
What’s different in The Big Day Web Series?
At the time of writing this review, one of the biggest protests in modern history is happening around Delhi. It originally called for the abolition of the "Farm Law" implemented by the Narendra Modi government, but it has now evolved into a struggle for human rights, exposing the country's maddening class differences. Tangentially and relatedly, the rise in "Hindu pride" is disgusting, leading to the alienation of ethnic minorities and the suppression of love concepts. How else can you explain the nonsense about "Holy War of Love" and attacking lovers on Valentine's Day? Seeing all this happening in real time is really a nightmare inducement. But what is puzzling is that a part of India is captured in Netflix's "Big Day", which is living on its life while bypassing all this.
Warning; I have tried my best to extract the name from the credits, which is written in a font that you will find on the doctor's prescription. So, if there is any difference, please forgive me and blame who is responsible for choosing the font. Netflix and Condé Nast's "Big Day" is directed by Ashish Sohai, Akriti Mehta, and Faraz Arif Ansari. Edited by Gita Singh, Pratic Deola, Debassis Dalai, Tusin Mukherjee, Sidi Patel, Kaushik Sinha, Chinmai Bokier and Sheldon Ian Healy, Belon Fonseca design and mixing/sound editing, and music supervision of Ancourt Tevari. There are more people participating, but I can't decipher their names, they haven't been recorded on the Imdb page of the show. I am sorry. Last but not least, the show revolves around the marriage of Divia and Oman, Nihita and Mukund, Nitin and Ami, Palavi and Rajat, Adity and Getty, Tyrone and Daniel.
Now, let me be clear. Avoiding political dialogue is undoubtedly a personal choice. It is undoubtedly a personal choice to avoid talking about class differences in India. It is undoubtedly a personal choice to avoid talking about caste discrimination. It is undoubtedly a personal choice to avoid talking about anything that has nothing to do with you. But my main problem with "The Big Day" is this. I don't understand what it's talking about except to show the rich their rich masturbation. Some talked about not wanting to use plastic products, some talked about hiring locals, and same-sex marriage. with? Where are the primary, secondary and tertiary dialogues surrounding it? What motivates you to make decisions that are good for the environment, or what is "rural aesthetics", or what is the Lgbtq ® community facing in India now? Yes, no, that would distract the main motivation of the show. . . Yes. . . Get married luxuriously?
This reminds me of the standing of Abisek Ubmanyu, where he talks about Zindaj Na Miliji Dobara and the rich. He said that this movie basically tells us that we should not waste this one life, we have and visit all these exotic places with our friends. But the problem is that most of us don't have the money to do all this. So, what should we do? The obvious answer is that we should go away. The big day feels like an exaggerated version of that bit. One of the couple said that they want to make these beautiful suits and incorporate Bollywood into their wedding, which is crazy. how is it? how did you do it? What are the statistics behind this? Why don't you talk about it? Oh, because it would expose the economic and class divides that are engulfing India, and would make this hatred somewhat relevant?
