Stealing Vows
Oct 21, 7pm
Programmer's Notes
Johnny Khan is the most in-demand emcee of the South Asian wedding circuit. However, making other people’s marital dreams come true isn’t where this one-time celebrity pictured his life ending up. For Johnny and his work friends, who all have aspirations they’re waiting to live out, the never-ending summer of extravagant weddings is a trap they can’t escape. When an unexpected opportunity arises to set something right by doing something wrong, the team realizes that they can do more than plan a wedding party, and a summer stealing spree ensues.
Inspired by real events, director Bobby Singh Brown's matrimonial-themed heist film set in the summer of 1998 has all the notes of a classic caper, the stakes of a crime action drama, and the high energy of a South Asian wedding. With its grand wedding sequences, multiple dance scenes, and an extensive ensemble cast led by Fuad Ahmed, Gia Sandhu, Anand Rajaram, and Ali Hassan, weaving this film together with unstoppable momentum was a feat in and of itself. And it promises viewers as much fun as the goodies and baddies are having onscreen. Co-written by Brown and Ali Hassan, Stealing Vows is destined to become a Canadian caper classic.
