In Wedding Season the standard New York rom-com collides with the Asian-Indian community with moderate results, as a career woman and a laid-back guy fake a relationship to stave off their marriage-obssesed families during wedding season (similar to 2020's Christmas-themed Holidate)...and you can guess the rest. In spite of the different cultural backdrop, the film sticks rigidly to the upwardly-mobile middle-class rom-com template. Slightly above TV-movie level, the film feels too underwritten and underpowered to nake much of an impression, and the broad-strokes comedic characters and contrived storyline are unconvincing, although the leads (played by Pallavi Sharda and Suraj Sharma) are reasonably engaging. To be fair, the film does pick up a bit in the second half, and American groom Nick's misjudged wedding entrance is spectacularly silly, but overall the film is just about passably entertaining.
