Rain Is Coming…
Two families converge on Delhi for an arranged marriage and what promises to be a glorious union. As festivities unfurl in song and dance, expectations and reality collide. The groom drifts between searching and belonging, and the bride’s past threatens to destroy her future. Chaos ensues, and as the nuptials draw closer, so do the maid and the wedding planner. Together they find love among the marigolds.
Nair’s celebration rings joyful and cathartic: as a love song to her home city of Delhi and to her own Punjabi family. At its core, it’s a story of families: how they love, rejoice, and endure together.
