Vivah ( a breath of old era...?)


Well i think this is difficult one.. it depends on the viewer how he actually percieves or follow the movie. Let me put it simple:
If the viewer is looking for something like 'KAL HO NA HO' or a movie which is made according to the new era ( in which movies are much vibrant and love stories are being transformed into kool flicks) then this movie is certainly not for that category.
On the other sides,if one is looking for pure and creatively woven love stories ( like 'DDLJ' or somewhat like that) then this one is for you.
Unfortunately movies on pure love plot are not being made nowdays. Those golden days have passed ,in which movies like 'mughal-e-azam' or 'heer ranjha' were on the directors list ,instead sex stories like 'jism' or 'murder' and rush films like 'dhoom' have caught the attention.
Well what is a true love story after all...? A movie which tries to understand or brings on screen not only romance, but the sacrifice , pain and deep emotions which the two souls share b/w them and teaches that love is just not mere attraction but it is a phenomenon which overlooks the boundaries of religion , colour, and cast. Well one example which just came in my mind (i.e veer zaara).
Well personaly I thought thrice before watching this movie .It did seem to get bored in some places but the excellent chemistry b/w shahid and the girl, caught me till the end .On the whole I recommend it and give it a 7/10
( cause nothing is perfect) ^^^^:)
