Speak...That's a welcome observation, thank you. Speaking of relatively chill Marathi weddings, "Aiyyaa's" backyard engagement (and later, wedding) comes to mind. Though I'm not versed enough in Marathi traditions to know how close it came to decent representation. Personally, I'm all for a bit more deviation from the usual Punjabi baraat & bhangra celebration that Bollywood loves. . .

Sridevi's character in English Vinglish is Maharashtrian, as am I, and our weddings are usually laid-back and chilled-out affairs. They're comparable to a Western ceremony in terms of length and simplicity and there isn't that much preparation to do.<br /><br />Bolllywood films usually feature North Indian cultural archetypes so they're not a complete representation of India. English Vinglish was an exception in that it portrayed a Marathi cultural milieu.Let Knowledge Growhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322346388395148231noreply@blogger.com
