A Wedding Story Review: A Mix Of Chills And Predictable Moments

A Wedding Story Review: Shaitaan, Munjya, and Stree 2; 2024 has been the year of horror and horror comedy films. Now, one more horror film titled A Wedding Story has hit the big screens today. The movie stars Vaibhav Tatwawadi And Mukti Mohan in the lead roles, and it is directed by Abhinav Pareek. So, is this horror film worth a watch? Find out in our review below...

The basic concept of A Wedding Story is very interesting, and the movie starts on an intriguing note. In fact, in just first 5 minutes there a jump scare and you start hoping that this will be a good horror film.

Vaibhav Tatwawadi, whom we saw in Article 370 earlier this year, has performed well in the film. But, his Punjabi accent is quite uneven. Mukti Mohan fails to impress with her performance. She has a good role to portray but doesn't do justice to the character. Lakshvir Singh Saran and Akshay Anand are decent in their respective roles.

Monica Chaudhary, who had impressed one and all with her performance in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, is also very good here. Child actor Urvi Upadhyay leaves a strong mark with her performance. Monica and Urvi are surely the best in the cast.

In such horror movies, background music play an important role, and well, it is quite impressive here. It is not like the loud music that we get to hear in horror movies, but it is subtle and suits the film's theme.

The movie revolves around Vicky (Vaibhav Tatwawadi) and Preeti (Mukti Mohan). They are engaged and are all set to get married. But, Vicky's uncle passes away during the period of Panchak which is considered to be a bad period for someone to die. So, a Pandit Ji tells the family to do a ritual but Vicky's cousin Tarun (Lakshvir Singh Saran) doesn't let the ritual happen. Now, after a few days, Vicky and Preeti's wedding preparations start and a lot of paranormal activities start taking place and there are deaths that take place in the film. Now, will Vicky and his family solve this supernatural problem?

However, after an engaging first 15 minutes, the movie starts faltering and becomes a bit boring and predictable. In the second half, there are a couple of scenes that will give you chills and thrills, but the strictly average narration and the predictability are the biggest hurdles here. A better narration could have done wonders for the movie.

A Wedding Story Review Final Verdict

Overall, A Wedding Story had the potential to be a better film if the direction was good. But unfortunately it just turns out to be an average horror movie with a few jump scares here and there.
