The new Netflix original Indian Matchmaking (scroll down to watch the trailer) is supposed to be the top show on the streaming platform in India right now. This is not surprising; since marriages are pretty much a national obsession. Getting married is a mandatory expectation in the Indian family and the wedding industry is a huge one; the one industry that will never go into recession. With arranged marriage still very much the norm for Indians – in India and abroad – the matchmaker is an entity that will never go out of business either.
She claims to be Mumbai’s top matchmaker and she is all about matching people based on some very specific requirements such as height, status, income, skin colour etc. She also uses the services of astrologers (no surprise) and face readers.
