    A woman is a child, and daddy knows best
    According to this movie a woman is scared of a male authority so much that she doesn't show any resistance to the pressure of the expectations what she's expected to do and decides it is the best to listen and follow the request from her father and she does this so quickly and easily and it ultimately leads to her realization that parents know what's best for her: who she should marry and how she should lead her life which is cleaning the house and learning how to cook for her man - among other "female duties." One minute she is at the college and literally the next day she wants to learn how to cook for arranged husband while being forced to leave her beloved fiancee?! 😅

    This is a heaven movie for all those parents who practice arranged marriages. Thanks to them this movie didn't get zero stars.

    This is the most appalling anti-feminist unrealistic fairytale - excuse me, a movie - I have ever seen.

    I will never watch another movie from this director or any cast responsible for this demeaning story about woman's place in this world where she has no saying. The movie also presented a heterosexual male as a brainless puppet and a coward.

    What movie should be next for this director? Realization that women should renounce their right to vote and listen to men ?! 😡
