By placing its protagonists within the bustling, lived-in ecosystem of Delhi weddings, the film moved away from glossy fantasy and embraced a more rooted, realistic portrayal of young India.

Director Maneesh Sharma on Band Baaja Baaraat's journey

Director Maneesh Sharma reflected on the film’s journey, sharing, “Band Baaja Baaraat began with a very simple idea. I had read a magazine article about young Indian entrepreneurs, and what stayed with me was their willingness to take risks despite limited resources. That thought became the seed of the story. Over time, it grew into a film about ambition, friendship, and love - rooted in real streets and real emotions. The fact that the film continues to find love across generations and geographies is incredibly humbling, and I’m excited to see audiences reconnect with it in theatres again.”How excited are you to watch Band Baaja Baaraat in theatres?
