“Am I just half a person when I’m not with a man?” Ooooof I felt what she was feeling. Being single hits differently everyday you get older. Wish we were all kinder to ourselves and others.
From the trailer alone. I’m torn between wanting the cliche the two best friends get together ending, and his arranged marriage working out and her finding the right person for herself. Thankfully, me being torn means I’ll be happy either way.
@@lila3372 fair point. I didn’t mean to imply she needs to end the movie with someone, as you’re right, the point the trailer is making is that she doesn’t.
I must say this looks really good. What I like about this is the exposure it gives to the cultural and traditional aspects of Pakistan, a country that has so many misconceptions attached to it. The trailer looks really worthwhile..
Yeah, but does anybody really realisticly believe that their relationship has a chance in the long run? There are so many obstacles to overcome and so much middle ground resolutions that everybody will be unhappy because everybody thinks they got nothing. The biggest chance of their relationship surviving more than five years is if one of them leaves their culture completely and assimilates to the other culture.
Due to my career in IT, I had the opportunity to meet a lot of people from India, Pakistan and the surrounding area. As in every country and culture, there are pleasant and terrible people. Unfortunately, the level of poverty in these countries is unimaginable for us in the West, and films of this type fail to show it. As in any film of this type, it is colorful, danceable and manages to overcome cultural differences without any problems, while the realities are much sadder and this film definitely does not show them. At least not in the trailer.
Yes it’s sad but as you point that out let us remember these countries were pillaged of trillions of dollars in resources that made the economies of the western nations. And also let me point out movies made in the west rarely show the homelessness, poverty that exists here.
This is insane. I'm Pakistani and to see people from TV that i've grown up watching, in actual english films is insane. Like Sajal Ali and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Like damn thank you. Also the end scene with the light up house is very on point and made me laugh. My hopes are high for this movie.
And why did i think they were Indian, forgive my ignorance i just finished watching Never Have i Ever and there is a similar issue with arranged marriages i just thought it was only an Indian practice. Any ways i love culture so I'll definitely be watching this, and i hope the brown guy doesn't end up with the white girl I'm tired of that ending already in mainstream films.
@@ksg568 : The story is based on Pakistani backdrop, but you see both Pakistani and Indian actors as it has been directed by an Indian. Indians and Pakistanis are same same but different .
Agree. This is among the rare instances where things actually feel authentic and not the pseudo norm culture Hollywood usually portrays from desi peeps. Ms marvel did it good too but somehow missed the mark a bit. This one (atleast from the trailer alone) seems to be hitting all the right notes
I am glad to see I am NOT the only one rooting for the arranged wedding! They seem sweet. Also I want to see arranged marriages celebrated and the main character is giving me Jules from My Best Friends Wedding “vibes”
That’s a good comparison. I think you’re right. And now trailers tell us the whole movie from the start, it looks like he’s ready for marriage and she’s got lots to work on herself. Like Julia’s character had to. Although I hope the bride isn’t 20 like Cameron Diaz’s character was!
I think when Emma Thompson's character emphasizes they have become like family it gave me a vibe of Lily James's character reflecting on her love life as her best friend gets married versus going after him.
I find it intriguing when people call themselves "brown". That is not a race, so, may I ask what you mean? Would I be right to understand that you are a swarthy white person -- like most people from India, the Middle East, North Africa, the Caucasian countries, and Mediterranean Europe?
So you think that the culture of arranged marriages will be appreciated in this movie and the two main characters will not become a couple and reject this practice? We will see.
@@fatamy8597 In Western culture arranged marriages are considered unethical and that is why they have laws against them because it was also common practice there. Would Westerners not be hypocritical if they "appreciated" non-Western arranged marriages just because of the fact they are part of another culture? Does one's ethics stop at one's own culture?
I really hope she doesn't declare her love for him toward the end. Unless the bride is unhappy and doesn't want to get married anyway. Otherwise an ending with the two of them together would be lazy.
I don't think they'll end up together, at 2:22, right when she says "being with the right person" the scene cuts to the arranged couple together video chatting with her, and both of them look happy. Also, I caught a glimpse of Oliver Chris and I hope his character is her love interest.
This hits so close to home. Growing up I fell in love with a boy destined to be in an arranged marriage. Subsequently, even though we had reciprocated feelings he turned me down. I was never spiteful and still aren't but learning about whole new cultures is always a unique experience. I was broken for a while but eventually, we became close friends and I'm happy the way we are now. I'm with a different person and although my friend and I have ups and downs we always know we'll be there for each other.
@luxir dlin in Islam man can marry to non Muslim woman, so you're not oblige to convert to Islam. and most important think Quran made it extremely clear " Let there be no compulsion in religion " 256 chapter Al-Baqarah. those who are doing didn't understand Islam.
@@fakeaccount704 yeah that’s what I thought but that other comment says ‘you’re not oblige to convert to Islam.’ Suppose it’s still only for people of the book then
I hope we hear more from the bride. She looks scared and sad at the prospect of moving to London. Hope we get sweet scenes of both her groom and his friend reassuring her.
@@guesswho2590 Exactly! "Let me reassure you, darling. Your will is not your own, your life is not your own. Your value comes from the man we chose for you." Yeah, won't be watching.
@@guesswho2590 She does literally has the most powerful choice, she can say 'NO' while the marriage is being solemnised, no wedding officer will solemnize their marriage after that since the girl doesn't agree with being married to the man. Wedding is a contract between the husband and wife, without their yes or no that too saying it three times to be sure that it is heard clearly, then only the wedding/contract gets valid. Yes, she can be forced but she does have the power to go against being forced.
I randomly found this trailer today and went to watch it immediately. All i can say is that its now my favourite romantic movie. The chemistry between them was beautiful and the story was amazing
Those two in the same movie are everything! But I still hope the movie will not follow the same old romcom cliche of the best friends ending up together.
Same, Emma's been my favourite actress since forever and I've watched a lot of her movies and enjoyed them a lot even though they weren't what I'd typically go for. Now the pairing with Lily James is just something else I never knew I needed until I saw it haha, was the same for me with the combination of Emma and Emilia Clarke in "Last Christmas" (unpopular opinion but I hate the song so it says a lot that I watched it xD) and Emma T. and Emma Stone in "Cruella"
Gonna watch it. Finally Western countries learned South Asia doesn't mean only India, it consists of 8 countries. They discovered the second one, I hope they would slowly discover the rest 6 as well.
Watching this… this made me feel things I didn’t know I could feel. My high school sweetheart just got arranged married this year. We both wanted different things in our lives so we split. But I still love him fully. I couldn’t commit to becoming Muslim at the end and therefore could never marry. he now lives in Bangladesh with his wife.
btw, FYI, a muslim man can in fact marry a christian or jew woman but a muslim girl can not because of the possibility of their offspring taking their father's name and religion. I don't know if you are a christian or jew btw, if you are, you didn’t need to convert into becoming a muslim to marry him in the first place. Guess nobody told you that.
Strange thing is prophet Muhammad was an orphan, he wasn't raised by either of his parents. How he could fantasize maternal love as heavenly is very striking.
@@MeteCanKarahasan What do you mean? He doesn't have to 'fantasise' anything. He received messages through angel Gabriel. He was a man yet he councelled women's matters too, because he had a judgment of what is right and what is wrong. He was a messanger, he was delivering gods message on earth, he didn't 'invent' anything from himself. So just because he was an orphan doesn't mean he couldn't have tell about the fact that heaven lies below mother's feet. There's also another saying of prophet Muhammad (pbuh ) that one man asked him regarding loving and respecting the most who's next after God and prophet? , he replied, "your mother", the man again asked after mother who's next?, the prophet replied, "your mother", the man asked again who's next?, prophet replied, "your mother", the man asked then who's next?, then the prophet replied, "and then your father." Mothers have such a position in Islam. Also, prophet (pbuh) was raised by a nurse whom he loved as dearly as his mother his whole life. 🤍
They need to change the name of the movie. There’s only one “ What’s Love Got To Do With It “ and this isn’t it ……… 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ and I hope this isn’t predictable 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ he decides not to marry the girl and gets with the bestfriend that he’s been neighbors with forever , she realizes she’s always ran away from love when her real love has always been Nextdoor. Oh and she hates relationships because of how her dad abandoned her mom ( daddy issues). But now she’s in love and he’s taken 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
watched this film when it came out and just rewatched it today( 28th of march 2024) and all I can say is that I still love this movie as much as I loved it whenn it first came out and when i watched it for the first time.Absolutely love the cast especially sajal ali(i'm pakistani and she is my favourite pakistani actress). emma thompson and lily james, the other cast memebrs were also really good, we get to see alot of things that are noermal in our society and how men and women face different problems, cried like a baby every single time when i watched the movie becaise the last scene where the sister comes bacl with her baby and husband always makes me cry so bad, i could go on forever about this movie but i think this is enough for now, ooh also last thing love the colours and cinematography of the movie, do watch it if you havent yet, it's an amazing watch
movie tagline suggestion: "you will do the job that we decide for you and marry the person we decide for you but your happiness is all that matters." Gotta love how Working Title can make warm fuzzies out of a cold, calculating world though....
Guess what, even for Europeans marriage has only been equated with love for a few hundred years, if that. Maybe only since women could own property themselves & not cede everything to their husband on marriage? Before that it was a contractual, business matter often also arranged by families. They would take children's preferences into account, but....still more a matter of money, economics, status and the social fit than anything. And you were stuck for life, no easy divorce, what we would call abuse today was condoned.
Oh no, till one moment in the trailer I thought - it is not about her realizing her feelings, but about finding herself, love in arranged marriage - thats good, because not so cliche. But noooo, looks like just another childhood neighbours turn to lovers just on the brink of one's marriage film😔
Right?? This is just My Best Friend's Wedding but this time with a Brown guy ugh. I hope to God we're past best friends sabotaging their best friend's relationship. It's 2k22, we're done with it.
I have a feeling they don’t end up together in the end! Just mutual respect and admiration of each other’s culture, and more understanding of the whole arranged marriage thing how it actually can be prosperous
I think the trailer is teasing that, but it doesn’t actually show it… I think this film might subvert the usual tropes actually. I suspect the twist is that the Lily James character and her best friend stay best friends while he finds love in his arranged marriage. Maybe she doesn’t end up with anyone at all but finds satisfaction in friendships and family? Or maybe she meets someone else altogether. I’m intrigued. I hope they don’t fall into the old cliches.
Arranged, not forced. Theres a difference. I have seen it work out perfectly with many families. Most of the time, when the families arrange it, its no different to matchmaking sites. They help find the person who suits you and your needs, and you do there's. First your strangers, then friends. Love happens over time. It comes with appreciating a person, for their goods parts and their flaws. The main goal though, is for both sides to end up happy. I think it takes the stress off dating in the modern world.
I guess the issue is, who decides who best suits your needs? When family gets involved, sometimes (not always) they project things onto the partner that the person themself doesn't care as much about (wealth, success), whereas with matchmaking sites it's more the person's choice.
WAOOOOOOOO... SAJAL ALY, is one of the most versatile, talented and gorgeous actress from Pakistan... can't wait to see her... we know she is going to be amazing like always.. proud of you Sajal
It seems she is in almost every English movie. She is great, of course, but I've always wondered why frequently the same actors appear in most England movies and series,
I am a huge Star Trek Discovery fan and I loved Shazad Latif on the first few seasons. I can't wait to see him in this movie. He plays the love interest for anyone that doesn't know.
I don't know because her questions seem to be cultural rather than she wanting to be with him. The trailer doesn't show her sabotaging either, but we'll see.
I love this trailer SO much more than the actual film 😂 The film was a bit too caught up in serious family issues… But with the trailer I can only see the happy parts and I love that 😅
“Am I just half a person when I’m not with a man?” Ooooof I felt what she was feeling. Being single hits differently everyday you get older. Wish we were all kinder to ourselves and others.
For real ❤️ as a single 41 yo woman I feel this
You can be single and happy at the same time!
Me too =/
Woman initiate 70% of the divorces. The more educated even upto 90%.
I would say that these women made their own choices.
We've been tricked into thinking being with an other is HARD WORK. It is, but mostly GRATIFYING, when both parties are in SYNC.
From the trailer alone. I’m torn between wanting the cliche the two best friends get together ending, and his arranged marriage working out and her finding the right person for herself. Thankfully, me being torn means I’ll be happy either way.
Same!
or her just not finding someone and being happy anyway? maybe? not half a person?
@@lila3372 fair point. I didn’t mean to imply she needs to end the movie with someone, as you’re right, the point the trailer is making is that she doesn’t.

Emma Thompson forever!
Definitely gonna be watching it !
Arranged, not forced. Theres a difference. I have seen it work out perfectly with many families. Most of the time, when the families arrange it, its no different to matchmaking sites. They help find the person who suits you and your needs, and you do there's. First your strangers, then friends. Love happens over time. It comes with appreciating a person, for their goods parts and their flaws. The main goal though, is for both sides to end up happy.
I think it takes the stress off dating in the modern world.
Married At First Sight TV show
sadly "arrenged" means forced, for the women, in those parts of the world, where the culture originates.
I guess the issue is, who decides who best suits your needs? When family gets involved, sometimes (not always) they project things onto the partner that the person themself doesn't care as much about (wealth, success), whereas with matchmaking sites it's more the person's choice.
@@guesswho2590 bro r u from those cultures? Most of them are not unhappy if the man or woman fits their demands and likes and dislikes
Adding this to my list ❤️🍿 Thank you! Keep them coming! 🪄 Aloha 🤙🏾 from Hawai’i 🧘🏽♀️🪴
OMG Shabana Azmi is in this! Also, what a lovely cast! 👏🏽
Im in for this one - looks good and different
WAOOOOOOOO... SAJAL ALY, is one of the most versatile, talented and gorgeous actress from Pakistan... can't wait to see her... we know she is going to be amazing like always.. proud of you Sajal
I‘m already looking forward to watching this movie!
Love how they didn't ruin the ending!!! Either the 2 bestfriends get together or the arranged marriage works out 💯💯💯
Yeayy. Lily James is back.
It seems she is in almost every English movie. She is great, of course, but I've always wondered why frequently the same actors appear in most England movies and series,
I am a huge Star Trek Discovery fan and I loved Shazad Latif on the first few seasons. I can't wait to see him in this movie. He plays the love interest for anyone that doesn't know.
I think it's a nice movie with lovely Lily James 💘💘💘, I love her and her sweet voice 💘💘💘
Great cast tbh and story line looks interesting !!! Defo looking forward to this
Wow! Looks interesting. I love Lily James and Emma Thompson and add Sajal to the mix, what's not to like?!
AHH can't wait for this one just the song alone makes me want to watch it ASAP
This looks really promising!
Looks like a sequel/ spin off to Love Actually and this is Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman's daughter 😆
British films are more diverse in terms of their castings, storylines and representations unlike American films.
So true!
Too bad you couldn’t keep your royal family diverse though lol
@@bryancash9051 too bad your kids can't stop shooting people though
@@bryancash9051 sick burn x'D
@@bryancash9051 Hahahhaha! LOL! That was so good 🤣🤣🤣
omg a premise that's actually original? insane, delightful
Feels like I have watched the entire movie here. Thanks!
This looks so good!!
Looks so good, hope it comes to Montreal.
Loved her in Yesterday!
I love Lily James.. and Shabana Azmi..
Can't wait to watch
This feels like a better-cast version of 'My Best Friend's Wedding'.
I don't know because her questions seem to be cultural rather than she wanting to be with him. The trailer doesn't show her sabotaging either, but we'll see.
@@Cantetinza17 she better not sabotage lol
@@kimberlycease6171 I don't think she will, but I do think that she's gonna ask a lot of questions that will make him question.
My Best Friend's Wedding is an all-time classic. Something that this project is very unlikely to ever become.
I was thinking that too!
A lovely movie ❤ and the cast.
This looks so good 😍
This is just the trailer and I'm sobbing! Plus the background track by Ellie Goulding, cherry on the cake. Here come the waterworks
This looks good….finally an interesting plot
Watching for sure
Definitely gonna watch
positive culture appreciation. I love it. high hopes for this movie
That 1st clip! 😂
Looks good!
AYYYYYEEEEEE!! Looks Good🔥🔥🔥I’m trying to get my subscribers up too💯keep it up❤
Love Lily
Can't wait to see this!!!!
Totally here for a romcom 🥰
A feel good + relatable movie ... im down when it is coming or streaming?
Loved this movie... Give it a watch !
I am SO seeing this!!!
I love this trailer SO much more than the actual film 😂 The film was a bit too caught up in serious family issues… But with the trailer I can only see the happy parts and I love that 😅
I like the balance to it. They played with cultural norms instead of shamed them.
Also, that cute first attempt of Assalamu'alaikum. 🤗
MUST WATCH !!! Cheers from India 😘
I feel like this is gonna be utter heartbreak in the end
Well, I'm convinced. Sign me up! When is it out??
End of January
