5 Weddings is the perfect example of how bad filmmaking, bad concept, and an overall bad execution can eventually result in a messy, half-baked romantic drama about a PIO American landing in India to cover a bunch of weddings. TN.

5 weddings is a story of an American journalist who travels to India to cover Indian weddings for a magazine she is working for and aspire to become editor in chief.

The content of the movie was good and a great movie could've been with such a beautiful content but is ruined by foolish anticipation. The main shock was that there was only one wedding is shown and rest are different different rituals like Mehandi and Ladies Sangeet which are few of the rituals of a wedding. There are some foolish sequences in the movie like playing Holi (Indian Festival of colours) out of the airport and this is strictly prohibited as airports are one of the very high secured area, secondly on the way to airport you will find people on roads without colour considering it's a Holi Festival, although this is a small detail but very important detail as Holi is one of the biggest festival of India. It seems that the director was not sure how to progress as the movie looses it's plot completely after 15 minutes of it's start and after riding on the unnecessary inclusion of Hindu muslim love story and rights of transgenders reaches to climax which is very predictable and abrupt.

As far as acting is concerned Nargis Fakhri was pathetic, Rajkumar Rai is one of the most talented actor but is completely wasted in the movie. The support cast has done the worst possible acting.

Overall a pathetic and boring movie which is just waste of time.

What a tad boring movie, it took me almost three years ohhh I mean days to finish watching this hard-to-sit-through movie. The problem is not the run-time, no no it's actually got a friendly runtime, it's the poorly written characters and bland storytelling. To make matter worse, my version of the film is dubbed, pooorly dubbed that occasionally makes me want to punch my laptop screen. The story follows a biracial lady Shania who is working in an online company, with their boss retiring, she assigned them to dig deep and find stories that's going to make the company blow out the water. Her boss suggested she goes to India and write stories about the culture and also a way to reconnect with her roots since she's of Indian descent. Meanwhile, In Indian a police officer Harbhajan is not happy with his duty patrol, and is assigned as to Shania so that he could keep her in check. They started visiting weddings after weddings (hence the film's title 5 weddings),all while developing feelings for each other. She encounters a group of transgenders and sympathise with them because of the way they're being treated. she decided to write about it and post it online, but the Indian authority is against that, and makes Harbhajan steals her laptop and therefore creating a rift between them. After a brief fight, she goes to the authority herself and gives up all her research but for some reason only known to the director and the writers, she's forgiven and all her things are given back to her. She posts them online, and marries Harbhajan and they live happily ever after, if there's such a thing.

The plot confuses itself, it started quite different but totally loses its way in the second act, and the final act is very predictable. The heroine played Margie Fakhri is my main problem, I don't particularly find her likable, infact she's quite annoying. There's an attempt to flesh out her character with some lackluster flashbacks but falls flat. Police officer Harbhajan played by Rajkummar Rao, I was surprised he take part in this movie, 'cause it seems a little bit below his pay grade, no? Anyways, his performance is quite decent but not a fan of his character either. The rest of cast are okay. The movie just looks depressingly low-budgeted, the cinematography is barely average, music is nothing to talk about. But I admire the filmmakers courage for the message they are trying to pass to the general public.
