The most popular Indian television series "The Second Wedding", produced by Shashi Sumeet Productions, is adored by Indian women. It combines star actors, various popular music and the social relevance of the plot. How did “Second Wedding” manage to interest the female Indian audience so much?
Plot description
The divorced young woman Artie and the young widower Yash are forced to agree to a second marriage under pressure from their relatives and for the happiness of their young children. On their wedding day, they understand that each of them still loves their previous soul mate and does not need a new relationship. However, it is too late to retreat, and the young people are becoming one family. Relatives Yasha and Artie are trying in every possible way to turn their compromise marriage into a relationship filled with love, but they do not know what a terrible truth lies in Artie's past and that she can destroy this fragile marriage if discovered.
The plotline of the Second Wedding was based on the Azerbaijani poem Leyli and Majnun about the tragic love of a couple who did not become spouses.
How long will the marriage of Yash and Artie last, will they be able to become good parents for their new children, will they support each other throughout their lives, or will their paths diverge in different directions? Will Yash be able to forget his deceased love, will Artie be able to say goodbye to his difficult past and find happiness again when paired with Yash? Young people will have to go through many trials, proving to others and to themselves that you can start a new life - you just have to not close your heart and allow yourself to be happy again.
An exciting concept for the series
"The Second Wedding" repeatedly intersects with other Bollywood films about unhappy love. Thus, one of the secondary storylines resembles scenes from the Indian film "We Can't Be Taken Apart", which tells the stories of three brothers and their lovers. In some of the romantic episodes between Yash and Artie, the influence of the popular films "Both in sorrow and in joy", "Everything in life happens" and "The Untrained Bride" can be traced.
In the series "The Second Wedding", much attention is paid to religious Indian traditions and holidays - however, as in all Indian cinema.
The success of the television series brought a stellar cast of popular Bollywood actors, a high-quality and varied soundtrack and an unusual presentation of the mother-in-law's relationship with her daughter-in-law (a loving mother-in-law agrees to marry her daughter-in-law with another man with her son alive). In addition, the popularity of "The Second Wedding" is due to the traditional views of marriage shown in the series, which still continue to influence modern Indians.
