New Delhi: To make a horror film, it is important to have a good idea, story, scenes, music and acting, but the most important thing is a story that creates fear. It is not that some scenes just scare and then the fear goes away, rather the entire story should revolve around fear.
A Wedding Story does just that. The film keeps the audience hooked till the end due to its horror aspects, as the basis of its story is 'death' - that too at the wrong time. This is called Panchak Kaal. The fear of this period is shown well in the film.
Based on the wrath of Panchak period described in Garuda Purana
The belief of Panchak Kaal has been there in our country for thousands of years. It is mentioned in the Puranas, especially Garuda Purana, in which it is recited for peace after death. However, this belief has been affected by the influence of Western culture. With the progress of science, the fear of natural disasters has reduced. Earlier people did not go out during eclipse, now people take its pictures and videos.
But the fear of Panchak still persists because it cannot be understood. It is believed that the thing that you do not understand or cannot see is the scariest. A Wedding Story is based on this background, in which the fear of Panchak period has been shown effectively.
Time is recognized all over the world
The belief of time or Kaal is not only in India but all over the world. That is why the Muhurta is decided before any work. A Wedding Story is also based on the cycle of time and the Kaal Chakra. This film brings to life the fear of Kaal described in the Puranas, which is widely believed in our country. The film begins with a horrific death, which occurs during the Panchak Kaal, and this makes it even more scary.
The cinematography and background music take it to new heights
In today's era, the meaning of horror films is changing. Now the audience looks for a good story instead of just scary scenes. A Wedding Story completely meets this criterion. The makers of the film have done complete justice to its background. This film is based on the passage of time and its impact. It shows how a wedding celebration turns into mourning due to death. The cinematography and background music of the film take it to a new height. The city of Dehradun has also been shown as scary yet beautiful, which will attract the audience.
The actors brought the characters to life
Talking about acting, all the actors have done a great job. They have brought their characters to life, and do not let the audience's attention deviate from the story. Every moment it seems that something terrible is going to happen, which creates an atmosphere of fear.
Internationally, new experiments are being done in horror films, like Talk To Me and Get Out. For the first time in India, someone has tried to make such a horror film. A Wedding Story is an atmospheric horror film, in which it was a challenge to maintain an atmosphere of fear throughout, and the makers have handled this challenge brilliantly.
