What critics compared Monsoon Wedding to
It's akin to Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding in that regard, though it lives at the far opposite end of the cinematic spectrum, unfolding quietly and unassumingly, and sans overt confrontation, until things finally boil over in ways that can't help but strain even the most pleasant relationships.
The director of Monsoon Wedding and Mississippi Masala locates not only the visual schemes in her material but the thematic and emotional ones as well; this in turn results in films that examine both individuals and their cultures from a variety of revealing angles.
It's like Shekhar Kapur directing Monsoon Wedding on a Bollywood set, without the songs.
