This is another save the family business movie. Bring in a corporate big shot to do the marketing. Mira has to help bring Brady up to speed on what the business is about. Other siblings want a different life than the family business. All these things are common tropes.
Somehow the way it was done felt different. The Christmas baking trope is fruitcake since that's the family business.
Some things didn't seem to flow right for me. The chemistry between Rekha Sharma as Mira and Dion Johnstone as Brady was OK, maybe a B-. The way they were thrown together felt forced. Mira falling off the ladder was forced. Having their hands touch was forced. And Nani was mentioned way too much.
Ages of the actors was a distraction. Sharma can look younger than her age, but her real age is only 9 years less than her screen father, and 8 years less than her screen mother. Even the age she looks, Mira is going to be having biological children. For the traditional Indian family this is supposed to be, it's amazing that none of the 3 siblings has started a family yet especially the way they are all talking about carrying on the business.
For those who care about such things, there is a gay male romance developing. Some will say yay, and some nay, but it's there.
