Vow Factor
By Jeffrey M. Anderson
This romantic comedy from director Tom Dey (Shanghai Noon) couldn't be more formulaic, but it has an undeniable heart that makes you almost want to cuddle with it. Wedding Season is infested with various Indian parents, as seen in many other movies, whose one and only concern is to marry off their adult children. But Asha (Pallavi Sharda), who studied finance, is now attempting to launch a new business designed to help women entrepreneurs, has no interest in marriage. Neither does Ravi (Suraj Sharma), who lives off of a nest egg of internet money and works as a DJ, though he's still searching for his purpose. During the summer, while Asha is preparing for a life-changing work presentation, the pair agree to start "fake dating," to get all the relatives off their backs. But while attending various weddings together, they begin to enjoy each other's company. The actors fully embrace the silliness, and deliver committed, full-hearted performances, and the feel-good is infectious. The wonderful Rizwan Manji (Transformers, Paterson), plays one of the more level-headed parents.
