Monsoon Wedding is a 2001 comedy-drama film directed by Mira Nair, written by Sabrina Dhawan, and starring Naseeruddin Shah, Lillete Dubey, Shefali Shah and Vasundhara Das. The story is set during a traditional Punjabi Hindu wedding in Delhi and revolves around the complex romantic entanglements of the characters. Dhawan wrote the first draft of the screenplay in just one week while in the MFA film program at Columbia University. Although the film is set entirely in New Delhi, it was produced internationally between companies from India, the United States, Italy, France, and Germany. Monsoon Wedding premiered in the Marché du Film section of the 2001 Cannes Film Festival and went on to win the Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival. The film also received a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and grossed over $30 million internationally at the box office. In 2017, IndieWire named Monsoon Wedding the 19th best romance of the 21st century. In 2023, a musical adaptation based on the film had its New York City premiere at St. Ann's Warehouse, directed by Mira Nair, with music by Vishal Bhardwaj, lyrics by Susan Birkenhead and Masi Asare, and book by Dhawan and Arpita Mukherjee.
