Life Before Wedding--Before Wedding Beyond Love

The on screen portrayal of sensitive relationships has never been truthful to audience.It was rather made on the lines of stupidity which was believed to be the pulse of people.In Praveen Satturu's Life Before Wedding the portrayal of modern relationships takes you a trip down your sub conscious to recollect all those sweet memories.While the narration goes on you spring out of your seats and often get mused to find yourself on screen,that is the impact the movie tries to put on.The movie urges an answer to the dilemma that is being faced by the present generation.


        Plotting the story line,the film kicks off with a group of guys finding their answers to the dilemma faced by their friend who is struck in an utter love obstacle.Thus they start narrating similar instances one among which happens to be that of a guy in Dallas,USA.Rajesh,an NRI gets well settled in USA with his friend Radhika,the  couple moves in and out simultaneously and they throw a married impression on the society.One fine day radhika finds all her dreams in Rajesh and proposes him,to his shock Rajesh turns her down and tries to calm her down.Elsewhere in Hyderabad,two guys Rishi and Jai a childhood duo happen to meet Anu,sister of theirfriend Priya.Anu absically is an introvert and reserve kinda girl who doesnt expose herself to the functions and stuff.On the other hand Rishi a rather over reactive kinda guy finds his girl in Anu and later love tries to grow between them and gets cut due to  rishi's arrogance.Jai and Anu find their relation on a mutual friendship note and its not too late that they realize that they are in love.Now how the Destiny starts playing its game forms the rest of the story.

    Praveen tries to showcase the sensitive relationships that the society is filled up in the present day scenario.The youth are trying to be independent
and also are trying to abide by the destiny.Fate is a game turner,sometimes it may serve as a token of love and also at times may play a spoilsport.The director tries to portray how the youth are reacting to the dilemma rather a risky topic to discuss.The pain one receives as he/she gets parted off is well depicted with the characters of Jai and Anu.The episode with Rajesh made people think how life  can turn with a second's decision.

Among the two stories,the one with the desi flavor tries to catch the audience rather than the Dallas.The story of Anu and Jai has enough emotional qoutient.As one gets rejected they feel the pain for a short span and try to find their solace in others.The director tries put this formula on the screen with two compliment examples with enough matured performances.

The new comers Abhijeit ,Nishanti,Sidhu,Rohan,Asif,Chinmayi give out a matured performance with  good vocal modulations as and when required.Abhijeit as Jai is a show stealer as he is absolutely perfect into the shoes of college going guy and the Duo of Jai and Rishi are a perfect depictions of the present day college going guys.The music ny Anil R is even soothing and is integral with the movie narration.Cinematography by Andrew Red is even an eye catcher.Editing was a crispy one with all that is required.

The movie throws many interesting questions how the characters deal with their destinies and it would sound disgusting to reveal the climax.The climax has got a perfect answer for all your questions.It is for sure a perfect Debut by Praveen Satturu and also a perfectly conceived concept.


Verdict:A Perfect and Matured Portrayal Of Sensitive Relationships.A Must Watch.
