Arranging Love explores the realities of the arranged marriage and the rules of love and relationships for second generation Indian-Australias. Following three second-generation Australians, Arranging Love attempts to look past the stereotypes of children struggling against their controlling Indian parents.

Thirty years since their parents migrated to Australia, those children are now starting families of their own. Their choices and their stories unveil the struggles and various attitudes the Indian community holds towards relationships, love and sexuality. With an arranged marriage, a cross cultural marriage and a love match among them, their stories uncover the truth of living in the middle ground between East and West in the 21st century.


Shooting of the documentary Arranging Love commenced in November 2004 after receiving a New South Wales Film and Television Office Young Filmmakers Fund grant and an Australia-India Council grant from the Dept of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Shooting continued over the next 10 months with post production commencing in September 2005. A preliminary edit of the film was screened on 3 February 2006 for family, friends and industry associates and the film was officially completed in April 2006.
