amrita rao in vivah

Good morning everyone.  Sorry for the delay in posting this.  I am really uncomfortable with two-part posts, and when I do write them, I try to get all the posts out in one day.  Unfortunately, I ran into some delays yesterday.  Anyways, back to the movie. 

Amrita's style in this movie is very consistent, which I always like, I hate when they go off on too many tangents.  For the most part, she wears Shalvar Kameez and accessorizes simply, with big, dangly earrings.  As I'm watching this movie, I'm reminded a lot of my own wedding.  My husband and I had a "semi-introduced marriage," as I like to call it. It was all very formal and traditional, but we were kind of knew each other from before and were given loads of time to get to know each other before the wedding day.

Watching this movie, I feel like I should have watched before I got married so I would have known exactly how a "good Indian girl" behaves as a bride. It's obviously meant as an education to Indian youth about the rewards of pure love and abstinence and all that stuff. The movie does contain its fair share of stereotypes, but there are some forward-thinking ideas there as well.  The aim is obviously to blend tradition with modernity in a way that's accessible to young people.
