Haresh’s first documentary, aimed to educate his audience on the extravagance associated with an Indian wedding. In this documentary, he leaves his audiences with questions to reflect upon with regards to the entire system of marriage and their own relationships. He asks us to reflect if the transition to marriage is a personal choice, or a social construct, so ingrained within us, that we begin to believe it is a personal choice. He invites the audience to go on this journey with him, navigating love, loss and everything in between. Ultimately urging the audience to decide, if marriage is for them, and there is no shame in choosing never to get married. Through this documentary, Haresh shows us the power of self-love, and how his happiness or for that matter, anyone’s happiness is not dependent on others, but upon the self. As Haresh found his own voice, he prompts the audience to find their own larynx, by looking within and paying attention to the L words we overlook in our life.
With the brilliant cinematography, storytelling and interviews, Haresh cleverly brings to the audience, thought-provoking questions. furthermore, he skilfully, brings to the forefront, the dark under belly of the Indian Matrimonial system globally. Haresh very openly and candidly shares the taunts, discrimination and comments he has had to endure to date.
Haresh turns the spotlight onto the champions of marriage, regardless of the cultures they represent, provoking them to introspect upon the idea of marriage. Haresh with his wit and humour, invites these advocates of marriage to sell the objective of matrimony to him. He also shares an insightful theory as to why relationships work and fail from his own experiences, which is gaining immense interest.
