Vivah

But unlike the previous production, this film does not have lofty and vivacious sets. At a time when Bollywood has created a niche by imbibing good storylines, eye-catching locales, and excellent cinematography in the films over the last few years, Vivah does not match up to the expectation. Despite having the touch of Barjatya banner, the film lacks the emotional appeal, which is so apparent in their previous films. At places there are scenes of over makeup clearly visible on the screen while at other times the characters make overtly loud gestures and expressions failing to impress the audience. The pace of the story is too slow to hold the attention of the audience for long. Some of the camera angles (top shots), and editing (dissolves) are quite repetative. The film portrays the golden time between engagement and marriage which is every couple's fondest memory; and the unexpected encounter, which deepens into love, is something, all young people will be able to relate to. The music is by Ravindra Jain who after a gap of almost 17 long years is back in the Rajshri camp but is not catchy enough for the audience to hum after the end of the show. The music of the film in short disappoints the audience.The film has nothing much to glue the audience to their seats except a good-looking Amrita and a handsome Sahid Kapur. Anupam Kher is good at his performance while Alok Nath looked like permanent member of the Barjatya Camp.
