What happens
Vivah (transl. Wedding – transl. Marriage) is a 2006 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film written and directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya. Produced and distributed by Rajshri Productions, the film is a remake of the production's earlier Bengali film Subhodrishti (2005), with some plot changes. It stars Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao as lead, alongside Anupam Kher, Alok Nath, Seema Biswas, Amrita Prakash, Samir Soni and Lata Sabharwal. Vivah tells the story of two individuals, and relates their journey from engagement to marriage and aftermath. Vivah is the fourth film to feature Shahid Kapoor opposite Amrita Rao. The film was released on 10 November 2006. It became a commercial success, and the tenth highest-grossing film of the year, grossing more than ₹49 crore (US$5.1 million) worldwide. Critical reception was mixed; some reviewers found it dramatically lacking and bloated, but it also has been credited for triggering changes to the way marriage is depicted on film. It became an unexpected success, as well as Kapoor and Rao's biggest commercial success at that point. Kapoor and Rao's performance in the film earned them a nomination for Best Actor and Best Actress respectively at the Screen Awards. Vivah is the first Indian film to be simultaneously released in cinema and on the internet (through the production company's official site). The film was also dubbed into Telugu and released as Parinayam. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
