Congrats My Ex! (2023)

Cringe Storyline, good Starcast! Had a High Expectation but this fails.

I am a big fan of Bright. I was excited about after watching its trailer. It was fun but I give it a 3.5 star overall, here's why? Let's talk about good things first:
1. Starcast is good: Bella as Risa, Bright as Tim, and Risa's ex Arun and his fiance Monica were good at acting. All the supporting cast was also good.
2. Culture representation: It revolves around Indian wedding, I wasn't looking for accurate Indian culture representation but they did it really well, and the fact that I found so many similarities b/w Thai & Indian culture.
3. Music and Comedy: it is a fun Comedy, Romance nothing serious and I wasn't expecting anything like sense. The song was also good.
now few things that I found cringe and couldn't walk past;
1. Very repetitive storyline: Pretending you have a bf in front of your ex, and then Arun confession to Risa when he is about to get married Monica, dude how uncertain are you? it is so cringe, & then Risa explains to Monica that it is not like that and He loves you and all... girl her fiance just confessed to his ex and doesn't have the guts to say that the wedding planner is his ex. That was not the most eye-rolling moment but Monica shows up to her wedding happily as if nothing happened was. Knowing what happened b/w them Arun's family was so chill.
2. Annoying FL: I like Bell'a acting and she was good at her character. I don't like her character Risa and found her annoying and immature.
Despite being a very cringe worthy repitative story, you can watch this movie for once. It was fun but not as expected.

Just loved this

It has everything I wanted. Comedy, Romance, little bit of drama, emotional scenes everything.

Specially the song Hayi Shava. Ohh my god. I just love the song and its vibes are awesome. I literally heard the song for at least hundred times. Still can’t stop myself. For me it’s a must watch movie.

Both couples are great. Bright is my all time favorite actor. And I really enjoyed watching Bright and Bella together.

It worth your time trust me. I’m telling you, if you’re a fan of Rom com then this movie is for you.

So just go and watch it.

I’m gonna watch it again.

Full blown rom-com

this caught my attentiom obviously because of bright in Indian attire and gotta say it was sooo fun. I went in expecting a super cringe rom-com but it actually had it's moments.

Some people were disappointed with the minimal screen time for bright, but I felt that was accurate for the story and the setting. The female lead really carried the movie well.

As an Indian, I loved the accurate cultural representation and the on-spot casting. I hope we get to see more of these inter-cultural stories in the future.

overall, don't watch this if you want some mind-blowing story with some out-of-the-box drama. watch it if you just wanna have a good time.
