Perhaps cinematographer turned debutante director Binod Pradhan had no clue that his debut directorial offering ‘Wedding Pullav’ will turn out to be such a tasteless recipe which will not be liked by the audiences at all. As nothing can be done to make this dish palatable.
The plotted scenerio kicks off with the engagement ceremony of the ‘affordable dream bike engineer’ Aadi (Diganth Manchale) alongwith Rhea (Sonalli Sehgall). Despite being his engagement day, Aadi is not completely happy, as his eyes yearns to see his London based best friend ‘Lambu’ aka Anushka (Anushka Ranjan), who had promised that, come what may, she will attend his engagement ceremony. Merely a few minutes before the ring ceremony enters Anushka in a typical filmi band-baaja style. Rhea, who hails from an estranged family (with Parmeet Sethi as her father and Kitu Gidwani as her mother) gets introduced to Aadi’s ‘best friend’ Anushka. The grand wedding is all set to take place in Thailand. Seizing the right opportunity, Anushka announces to Aadi and his gang that she is dating a London based painter Jay (Karan Grover), who does nude paintings of women for a living. Even though Aadi pretends to be really happy with the news, deep down he starts yearning to be with Anushka. Thanks to a sudden brainwave by the elders in the family, it then gets decided that Anushka and Jay also should get married alongwith Aadi and Rhea in Thailand.
Although Binod Pradhan has selected a wrong project like ‘Wedding Pullav’ as his debut directorial venture he has indeed tried his best to infuse some sparkling interest but all in vain. Need we say anything more.
Performances wise débutante actors both Diganth Manchale & Anushka Ranjan have to seriously hone up their acting skills to survive in this over competitive showbiz world. Even the other actors have failed miserably to leave a worthwhile impact.
This ‘Wedding Biryani’ oops ‘Wedding Pullav’ is so stale it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
