The movie has a lot of West Delhi influence throughout. A lot of Punjabi wedding flavours from dance numbers to gulab jamuns, and everything in between reminds you of a cultural wedding set-up. For the real shaadi wala ghar essence, watch the movie together with your family before the functions begin and let the songs like Ainvayi Ainyavi and Baari Barsi fill the ambience of your house as the ceremonies proceed.

This 21-year-old musical romantic-comedy is still as fresh as a bunch of flowers. Wedding dance numbers, flowers and mithai, an excited, happy family and baabuji’s ashirwaad- everything compiled gives you a true wedding ambience. The movie has covered all big and small ceremonies, rituals and wedding fun like joota chupai, making fun of friends and brothers of the groom, and enjoying the saali-jija, devar-bhabhi relation. Another perfect movie for learning how to create the shaadi wala ghar feel.
We have seen and read a lot about enjoying a sister’s wedding, but for a wedding within your sasural, Hum Saath Saath Hain is a perfect pick. The movie is a family drama being woven around weddings. Tabu and Mohnish Behl’s wedding is a masala-packed Indian wedding with songs, giggles, dance moves and rituals. Plan out special performance starting from younger brother and ending with the next-gen kids. You can chalk down an idea similar on the lines of the cousins on the song- Chote Chote Bhaiyon Ke Bade Bhaiyya and prepare for a Sunoji, dulhan ab inse milo jee style introduction of the in-laws to the new bride. Including these songs at a wedding adds personal touch and sentiments. The movie by and large tells us- “The family that prays together, eats together ... stays together”. So, keep that mindset throughout and after the wedding too.
