The great filmmaking and the use of hand held captures camera scenes is an important setting in the movie. The hand- held camera movements give the movie a sense of a more documentary style film. With frequent arm limbs in the shootings you are able to capture a better sense of this. The use of combining the traditional American family style marriage with the traditional Indian style marriage gives this movie style by playing around with these differences and letting the audience see the differences. In the movie Dubey starts putting up a white tent to display a more American traditional wedding but to the Indian dad white is meant for a funeral and he demands a color tent consisting of reds and oranges.
With combinations of warmth and laughter, music and dance, romance and serious problems, Director Mira Nair has made this movie a family entertainment.
