But don’t dismiss it. sangeetaskurtz reviews
Photo: Netflix Where my mother grew up, in a traditional Sikh-Indian community in Manchester, it was a given she’d get an arranged marriage. The process kicked off when she was 19, when the area’s hottest matchmakers — elderly twin sisters — brought the first candidate, a misogynistic gynecologist, to her family home. They spoke in the kitchen, her mother pretending to wash dishes in the background and her brother hiding in a cupboard, eavesdropping.
Its success landed Mundhra a meeting at Netflix, where she pitched Indian Matchmaking. The show follows Sima and six of her clients, all middle-and-upper-class Indian-Americans and Indians. Sima comes to them armed with stacks of “biodata” — a sort of Tinder-LinkedIn profile with a photo, bio, and lists of details like height and family background. She also asks the clients what they’re looking for in a partner.
Indian Matchmaking doesn’t offer a lot of context or even interrogate the kind of discriminatory criteria and attitudes that mark the matchmaking business Sima runs, which has unsettled some critics. Others have said the show endorses these practices without analyzing their complications, and many of its story lines do end with the implication that things between the couples will work out .
Does Indian Matchmaking do that? I’m not sure that it does, and many of the desis and critics I’ve come across don’t seem to think so either.
