Jabariya Jodi trailer: Parineeti Chopra, Sidharth Malhotra's rom-com takes a quirky look at 'pakadwa vivah'
Jabariya Jodi is based on a practice prevalent in Bihar, involving the abduction of the groom by the bride's family and forcing him to marry.
The trailer of Parineeti Chopra and Sidharth Malhotra's quirky comedy Jabariya Jodi has been dropped hours after the makers unveiled a new poster from the movie. Produced by Ekta Kapoor under her Balaji Motion Pictures banner and Shailesh Singh's Karma Media Net, the flick has been directed by Prashant Singh.
The trailer begins with an introduction to the different kind of marriages that take place in Bihar. The himmatwalas (courageous) opt for arranged marriages, the kismatwalas (lucky blokes) have love marriages, and the dowry-demanding kind are forced into a jabariya wedding.
Sidharth plays Abhay, a contract kidnapper who abducts grooms demanding dowries, beats them up and then gets them married to their brides without any monetary exchange. He meets Parineeti's Babli, a feisty woman who falls in love with him. When Abhay refuses to marry Babli, citing commitment issues, she decides to kidnap and marry him.
The film is based on the practice of abduction of grooms (pakadwa vivah) prevalent in Bihar, where the groom is forced by the bride's family into marriage.
