There is a small intimate interfaith wedding where the only demand of the bride is a wedding cake and then there is Priyanka (Shweta Tripathi) who walks out her wedding with an IAS officer when he demands Rs 4 crore as dowry. Jaded tales of ‘compromise’, societal diktats, patriarchy, tradition - there is a manglik woman who has to marry tree - will make anyone question the sanctity of the institution.

And we almost forgot about the big fat Punjabi wedding in Ludhiana, which is preceded by a contest where the woman who wins, gets to marry the US-based groom. We also have Bubbles who is engaged to be married to a closeted gay and there is an interfaith marriage. Then there is the Yadav wedding, where the head of a leading political party is marrying his daughter against her wishes for a profitable political alliance. There are the super-rich Roshans who get their future daughter-in-law investigated for since she comes from a different socio-economic background, which of course means that she is a gold digger. While the overarching narrative of the wedding saga remains the trials and tribulations of Karan and Tara, in each new episode we attend a whole new wedding shenanigan. It is certain to make you question the adage ‘marriages are made in heaven’ - because humans here on earth really mess it up. As their company finds its feet and they stumble from one quirky client to the other, we are exposed to the many dark sides of human nature.

Made in Heaven unravels through friends Karan (Arjun Mathur) and Tara Khanna (Sobhita Dhulipala), a closet gay and a trophy wife respectively, who form a wedding planning company. This is the stuff that doesn’t go into Instagram feeds nor is it captured in pre-wedding shoots.

It talks about dowry demands, impotent grooms and matrimonial matches that are actually political alliances. Made in Heaven is all about weddings and no we are not talking just tents, trousseaus and temperamental everyone. ‘It’s a blockbuster baby’, says a stoned Shashank Arora, who plays Kabir, the omnipresent wedding photographer, as he films a bride puking her guts out behind ornate decorations as she comes to terms with her guilt of having cheated on the groom.
