Ever wanted to have a fancy dinner at a fancy restaurant but were too broke for it? Well, the problem of the couple in Happily Ever After Web Series is the same, except for a fancy dinner at a restaurant they want a lavish wedding at a destination.
After The Holiday Zoom Studios has come up with Happily Ever After Web Series which casts Naveen Kasturia and Harshita Gaur, TVF regular Shivankit Singh Parihar, Priti Srivastav and Sanjay Bhatia. It is directed by Navjot Gulati.
Robert (Naveen Kasturia) and Avni (Harshita Gaur), high school sweethearts want their wedding to be perfect but they are on a budget. Happily Ever After season 1 is the struggle of a millennial couple in wanting a lavish wedding at a low cost while dealing with other shit in their lives.
Robert would have settled for a court marriage but Avani who is a divorcee (which later opens a separate can of worms with the groom’s family) did it once, she now wants THE big fat Indian wedding.
Millennials will relate to the conflict of staying modern while still holding on to some traditions and the polished actors do a good job in their characters.
If there is a wedding there are nosy relatives, trivial fights and random bursts of anger. Everything would have just been so much easier if they could hire Anushka and Ranveer from band Baja Baarat. The episodes progress with increasing tension of budget being exhausting on things like ‘chacha mama ki daaru’. When the fact that the ‘dhulan’ is a divorcee, shit hits the fan. The web series is still ongoing; episode 6 came out just last week.
Even though ‘managing a wedding without money’ is not the most fresh concept, the series with its splatter of funny scenes keeps the audience engaged and for a web series that began barely a month ago and is ongoing, the viewership is fantastic, ranging from 1-4.5 million.
Happily ever after is certainly a series to look forward to, Zoom Studios might be up to something here.
