the only solution is a stubby holder, made out of wetsuit material it can help with the rain and also double as a diving suit if things get real bad.

Monsoon Wedding is equally a film dominated by sound. From the opening credit sequence, with its candy coloured, retro-styled graphics, the energetic, infectious soundtrack sets the tone. Mychael Danna’s score, a skilful mix of traditional love songs, jazz, folk music and Indian pop provides the perfect counterpart to Nair’s exhilarating imagery.
