Monsoon Wedding on a wintry Friday

mira nair is known for creating waves. be it with erotica (kama sutra) or slum life (salaam bombay!). the magic has worked this time, too, with her monsoon wedding which created ripples in the film fraternity when it bagged the golden award at the venice film festival. it was the teenage crowd thronging globe and priya on friday waiting to take a peek at nair's monsoon masala.the film will be worth watching, said preeti kukreja, a student of bhowanipore institute of education. focusing on a wedding in the capital which reunites a family settled in different corners of the world, monsoon... harps on the great indian family bond. we are here to see the movie because it's directed by nair, said sujit gupta, a student of the international institute of hotel management, salt lake. but it's not the beautiful vasundhara das who is pulling the crowds though. it is the subject that's interesting, was what a bunch of students from the government art college had to say. and theatre-owners have every reason to smile. we didn't expect a 60 per cent occupancy on the first show, said arijit dutta, owner of priya and globe.
