Everything we know so far about the upcoming movie

The trailer for Picture This begins with Pia's encounter with her first love, Charlie. Pia can be seen questioning the need to get married while prioritizing work. A vibrant and celebratory atmosphere coupled with a peppy soundtrack creates the setup for a feel-good romantic comedy.

Shuang Hu starred in and wrote Five Blind Dates, which was centered around an immigrant Chinese family. Its new adaptation, Picture This, has tweaked the plot to accommodate the British-Indian immigrant family narrative. The base driving plot in both is the same. How the director approaches the same narrative will create differences in both perspectives.

Could Charlie be Pia's true love? Or is there a different lesson related to love that Pia can learn? That and many other questions are bound to be answered after the movie's release.
