Zoom Wedding Gone Wrong
Logline
Jab do parivaar Zoom par shaadi
karne baithte hain, technology, tradition aur taunts ki aisi cocktail banti hai
ki har ritual ek mini-disaster ban jaata hai—aur sabse bada glitch “I do” par
aata hai.
Genre
& Tone
Family comedy-drama, slice-of-life,
wholesome feels with meme-worthy moments. Language: Hinglish (Roman Hindi).
Duration: ~150 mins (with Interval).

Core
Concept
“Online shaadi ≠ low stakes.” Zoom
ke squares mein band log apni aadatein chhupa nahi sakte: kisi ka camera ulta,
kisi ke filters off-control, kisi ke kitchen ki seeti background score. Phir
bhi, rishton ka asli “bandwidth” Wi-Fi se nahi, dil se aata hai.
World
& Visual Language
- Split screens, gallery view, screen-share gags, chat
pop-ups as on-screen text.
- Diegetic sounds: mixer, cooker, ghar ke buzzer,
bachchon ki rone ki awaaz.
- Filters as visual comedy: dog ears, butterflies, retro
glam mid-ritual.
- Warm grade for family warmth; cool tint during outages;
handheld for chaos.
Character Bios (short)
- Arjun:
Sincere, awkward, “fix-it” guy, anxiety ko jokes se handle karta.
- Priya:
Practical romantic, sabko sambhalte hue apni dreams nahi chhodti.
- Pandit Mishra:
Tech-newbie, shaant, par net lag par “frozen wisdom.”
- Riya:
Insta-native, impulsive, par last mein real heroics.
- Kabir:
Jugaadu techie, hotspot king.

Dono taraf thoda ego, zyada pyaar.
