Sooraj Barjatya's 'Vivah' is a cute film but comes a little late in the day. The film would have done well one or two decades ago. The film, is a going back to innocence, after an attempt at modernization by the Barjatyas'. It's very Indian but the slow first half kills the film. The turning point in the second half is the USP of the film, besides some special moments, and may appeal to the female and family audience, in particular.

The story. Prem (Shahid Kapoor) is a gentle and soft-spoken rich Delhi guy. Poonam (Amrita Rao), an orphan, has been brought up in Madhupur, a small town, by her Chacha (Alok Nath). Her chachi (Seema Biswas), is jealous of her beauty.

Prem agrees to meet Poonam for marriage, just to please his dad (Anupam Kher), but falls in love with her at first sight. Soon the two discover that they are soul mates.
