I thought this Netflix production was a series, not a film. It might have been better as a series. Or not. As it is, there is a major montage in the middle to make up for lack of storytelling. In typical Hallmark fashion there is a career-minded woman being pressured by her family to find her Mr. Right, and she and an handsome Indian fellow agree to a faux relationship to get their parents off their backs. You know what happens next, right? The acting is good, the plot is on the light side -- predictable and boring, and the portrayals of Indian culture is fun and engaging. So, like any televised rom-com, it's worth having on in the background while you are doing something else but don't expect to have a deep connection with it.
