Indian weddings are elaborate affairs involving many rituals and themes and are incomplete without singing, dancing and of course a baraat. Social media is full of videos of people dancing at weddings, pre-wedding ceremonies and elaborate spectacles with various elements. Now, one such wedding video of an Indian couple's big day is going viral on social media due to its bizarre Bollywood twist. The clip, shared on Instagram by user @saini5019, shows the couple making a dramatic entrance to the wedding venue.
Inspired by Ranbir Kapoor's blockbuster 'Animal'the couple entered the wedding venue on a movable replica of the steel machine gun. For those who don't know, the movable steel machine gun from the 2023 movie 'Animal'. In a thrilling scene, Ranbir Kapoor's character wields a 500 kg movable weapon machine to take on his enemies.
Watch the video below:
In the clip, the bride and groom sit behind the replica steel machine gun as smoke billows from the sides. The video also features the song 'Arjun Vailly' playing in the background.
The video was shared on Instagram a few days ago. It has since amassed over 24 million views and over 351,000 likes. In the comments section, users had mixed reactions.
“The impact of bad cinema. I hate the cinema animal for so many reasons and now I see people following it. Absolute rubbish,” said one user. “Why would anyone with a brain do this,” another user asked.

“What!!! Why would you become a character who killed people for revenge/power…?” expressed a third. “Right now people can pay for anything just to look different,” said another.
Meanwhile, earlier, another video of a unique baraat had taken the internet by storm. A groom in Bengaluru decided to ditch the ceremonial horse and car and opt for an electric scooter instead. An Instagram page called Traaexplore Weddings shared the video and wrote, “Baraat on Yulu bike. Bangalore.”
The video went viral in no time. It collected more than 42,000 likes and several comments. While many Instagram users loved the eco-friendly and unique concept, some weren't on board due to the traffic and disruption. Others were just amused and joking.
