Wedding Pullav shows the story of two best friends, Aditya a.k.a. Adi and Anushka who are in love but are unaware of it. When Anushka is invited to attend Adi's wedding, this love confusion further increases. On one hand, Adi is jealous with Anushka's boyfriend while on the other side Anushka does not like Adi's marriage to another girl whom she initially praises. The story then moves to a stage where they know their feelings but not sure what to do next.
Director Binod Pradhan has very smartly picked up instances from other bollywood movies including ''Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai'' and even ''Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge'' in some places and has come up with a canvas of his own. But I think he forgets how smart our viewers are already. The concept and storyline has been done to death and the cliched Punjabi wedding template is doesn''t manage to excite us at all. The funny liners are not so funny and the songs come in after every 10-15 mins, acting as a huge hindrance in the plot. None of the songs stay with you after the film is over.
Speaking of performances, Dignath is decent, but needs a lot of improvement, while newcomer Anushka looks nothing close to being a bollywood actress. Neither her acting not her looks make her a perfect lead actress. However, she does dance well. Sonalli looks beautiful. Technically the film is sound. Cinematographer Gopal Shah has captured the colors and tradition of a Punjabi wedding well and the editing is crisp too. The climax is extremely predictable and run time of the film is too long for us to survive till then.
