And what a time to release it, right? Just when everyone’s hopes of regaining some kind of normalcy have been snatched and people are staring at yet another lockdown which will bring with it lots of personal, financial, and professional woes, you have a bunch of rich folks dancing and drinking and making vague references about Indian culture. But the timing was absolutely in the makers’ hands. I am sure that The Big Day: Collection 2 was made long before this shitshow caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the people who don’t know how to wear a mask or ensure that one’s own country-people aren’t inconvenienced in any way began. But what makes this “collection” more infuriating is its timing and the fact that it goes out of its way to reject modernity and embrace the most regressive aspects of traditionalism. Just like the first “collection” of stories, the show says again that rich people exist and they get married in the most extravagant ways possible. The Big Day: Collection 2, directed by Ashish Sawhay, Faraz Arif Ansari, Raonak Hathiramani, and Aakriti Mehta, is a docuseries that features the marriages of six couples, Irina and Dhruv, Nisha and Scott, Prerna and Kunwar, Divya and Sreejan, Mounica and Nirnith, and Shrutika and Lakshya.
