It's a Wonderful Afterlife
“Finding the right man can be murder”
4.8 / 10• 2010• 1h 40m•NR• English
ComedyRomance
Storyline
Indian mother Mrs Sethi's obsession with marrying off her daughter turns murderous. With jokes that routinely miss the mark and cringeworthy slapstick, this black comedy farce shouldn't work. Somehow, though, it does.
