Great story but too Bolly
zkotpen2 August 2023
"Arranged Love" is a great story, especially within the uber cliché Rom-Com genre. It's a refreshing break from so many recent Rom-Coms that play out almost exactly the same script, with changes in setting and character names.

The problem is, it's way too Bollywood: It relies too much upon the crutches of melodrama and exoticism, which end up choking the potentially good performances by a solid cast. As a result, what had the potential to be something great ends up being a safety dance -- Bollywood style -- of superficiality, leading us right down the same path of the cliché Rom-Coms I thought for a moment that it just might transcend.

Basically, entertaining, until the shoulder-shrug ending.

Unlikeable lead - again
skpn1233 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I am so sick of watching movies with obnoxious female leads that are somehow transformed into slightly better women by fake love.

Sharmita Bhattacharya is very pretty but is completely unable to pull of a likeable character with Meera. She is that girl on high school that was always sudden and mean not a grown up owner of a company.

The drunk vomiting scenes were not befitting a late 20's adult and so juvenile. But probably my biggest gripe is the male abuse - striking her fake fiance in public with no apology is simply unacceptab;e and reverse sexist. Physical abuse is never acceptable. How about some more of the charms of Bollywood instead of angry violence and lashing out at partners physically? And how about finish the story of the business scam with a little detail and finesse.

Perfect Feel Good Movie!!
jfwwzgzf14 October 2023
Well that was just adorable!!! Just watched "Arranged Love" on the E! Entertainment channel. In this feel good movie, It had everything a good entertaining movie needs... romance, comedy, good acting, and a good message to keep you entertained and feeling good the whole way through! This movie is perfect for a girls night at home to laugh, love and celebrate. This would also be a great movie for a date night in. It will make you smile, laugh and would be a good conversation piece. In a world that can be chaotic and ever changing, everyone needs a wholesome film like this to bring smiles to our faces!

Added to my favorites!
SpookySpells16 October 2023
Over this past weekend I watched 'Arranged Love' on Bravo Now, and it has been added to my list of favorite Rom Coms, and in fact, I plan to watch it again next weekend with my cousin.

It's funny, empowering, and refreshing. The cast is lovely and the writing kept me engaged throughout the movie.

Additionally, I LOVE the beautiful garments used in the film and enjoyed the Bolly influence, which, for me really set the film apart from other Rom Coms. I've not come across many that step outside the box of traditional plots, but this one does.

It is an overall feel good piece that is absolutely worth cuddling up and popping some popcorn for!

Big yawn

Uncomfortably bad writing.

Sports illustrated said Arranged Love premieres Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET on E!. The new rom-com centers on Meera, who after fleeing an arranged marriage as a young woman, leaving India and her inheritance behind, has made a name for herself in the tech world and now runs her own startup. When a costly problem threatens her company, however, marriage is exactly what she needs to solve it. In order to collect her inheritance in India, Meera comes up with a plan to inform her family she is, in fact, married - to the handsome Rama she met only moments ago - and returns home with him to sign the paperwork. As they keep up the ruse, Meera and Rama find themselves developing genuine chemistry, but this new arrangement brings yet another surprise.
