Today I was watching one of my favorite movies again, "Main, Meri Patni aur Woh". The movie is quite refreshing as it touches many of North-Indian cultural nuances which are mostly untouched in Bollywood movies. Though the movie focuses on the insecurities of a person short in height, the instances/emotions/human psychology is quite near to North-Indian cultural sensibilities.
One of things which attracted me in the movie is the depiction of the way arranged marriage happen in North India. In Hindi cinema, I have observed whenever it comes to marriage, its rituals and traditions, most of the times it looks like that Panjabi traditions are default to all North-Indian marriages. Our real North-Indian wedding traditions are never shown in Hindi Cinema. This movie endorses my view as by looking at the movie you realise the cultural richness in North-Indian arranged marriages. Also it looks like there are many stories waiting to be told which may focus on cultural richness of small towns of UP/MP or Bihar.
