Story : An emotional saga, the story begins on the small by-lanes of a middle class housing locality in Bhopal and in that lives the beautiful Chandni (Eesha) along with her father (Alok Nath), her younger brother Anuj (Master Amey Pandya/Vishal Malhotra) and Sandhya [Baby Ishita Panchal/Amrita Prakash]. Chandni happens to be an expert in classical and folk dances and at home she simply dotes on her kid brother and sister. As life would have it, Chandni goes for a stage show and chances upon Prem (Sonu Sood) and it is love at first sight. However, Prem happens to be from an aristocratic business family and a good lover of music. Both of them decide to get married and just when life looks hunky dory, right at the time of her engagement, Chandni's father dies. Heartbroken and not sure of what to do with her siblings, she takes up a brave decision and decides not to marry until her brother and sister grow up. Now, this process takes a total of twelve years, does Prem wait for that long and get going with his life. Do the siblings settle and make Chandni proud? All this forms the rest of the story. Presentation : The director has come up with a rather emotional subject but then he has been careful in his presentation and narrative. The script was written well, dialogues were intense, screenplay was perfect. Editing was a bit coarse but alright. Cinematography was excellent but the music was a major drawback which resulted in the film losing out some points. Eesha looks ravishingly beautiful and came out with a good performance, despite her traditional look, her sex appeal is still intact. Sonu was perfect and fitted perfectly in the understanding guy's role. Alok Nath was gracious, Smita Jaykar was neat, Vallabh Vyas was to the mark, Vishal comes as a revelation and is top notch, Chhavi is apt, Amrita did not have much to do. The others did their bit with ease. Conclusion : The idea of having a twelve year clause sounds far too idealistic but then the other aspects of love, emotion, sentiment and attachment has actually overpowered the flaws. The first half was bit bumpy due to the unnecessary and not so melodious songs but things change during the second half and it is a typical Barjatya movie that goes on for three hours. This is definitely not for the fun loving and metro centric audience but family folk will definitely connect to it in a big way. Commercially, the movie will do really well in the rural and interior regions and it appears that a success may just be in the pipeline. Bharatstudent Verdict : Neat homely Indian emotional drama, family audiences only please...

'Marvelous', 'fantabulous' and what else, put your best words of appraisals for Director Kaushik Ghata. Amidst, corporate companies and Hollywood's top-charting production houses churning out their extravaganzas in Bollywood, Rajshri Productions enriches with simplistic beauteous themes straight from its shoulders. 'An oasis amidst of large deserts' – Of course, Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi deserves it for a poignantly crafted tale by Suraj Bharjatiya and Kaushik Ghatak's perfect direction.

Possibly, with changing phase of genres in Bollywood, one may not opt for PURE DRAMRA. Uh-huh! Multiplex audiences may not choose this flick, as they have plenty of good releases hitting screens recently. Obviously, it's hard to choose the best out of bests as Tom Hanks says it in Forrest Gump – My Mamma used to say 'Life is a box of chocolates, you don't know what you're gonna pick'. Fine, it could be a difficult task in opting one best out of all recent releases.

Producers brimmed up with perfect knacks have hit bull's eyes. Everyone could've have felt it odd with makers releasing this flick with just 80prints and in single screens. Undoubtedly, audiences zeroing down on single-screens will love watching this film. For sure, producers should've opted for 'Slow & steady wins the race'.

Best in its theme, Rajshri haven't failed in bringing to us, best wedlocks on screen in their previous films and Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi is not an elision. Hymeneals, gala celebrations of marriage ceremonies have been spelled… Don't miss the concentric aspects of heart-binding emotions and splendid plotline.

Sacrifices for love portrayed would melt everyone's senses and overall it's a decent family entertainer.

Chandni (Eesha Koppikar) belongs to a middle class family; living in one of the tiny by lanes of old Bhopal. She lives with her father and younger siblings- Anuj and Sandhya. Chandni, who is deeply attached to her school going brother and sister, is trained in classical and folk music. During a stage performance she falls in love with Prem (Sonu Sood)..

Prem hails from a rich family. He is an un conventional Ghazal singer full of mischief and pranks..

Life is picture perfect ...until on the day of engagement Chandni's father passes away...suddenly she becomes the eldest in her family. On one hand her 'Mehendi' adorned hands are beckoning her to the dream home of her fiancé and on the other hand are her younger siblings, whom she cannot take along with her. Chandni decides not to marry so that she can bring up her little brother and sister with respect.

Prem understands her and stands by her through thick and thin as she goes through her struggle. He unconditionally waits for Chandni for 12 long years until she fulfill all her responsibilities as an elder sister.

'Truly...sometimes the greatest love stories are .... the ones that stand the test of time.'

Doubtless, taglines picked for promos don't dash down your hopes and debutant Kaushik Ghatak strides winning accolades. Lots of his elbow greases get revealed with the exquisite filming of best moments through the entire show. Perhaps, lack of pace in first few minutes may put down your interests… Nevertheless, the scenario transcends with solidity in screenplay and actors breathing lives on characters. Better don't forget your hankies; certain scenes would soak your eyes with tears rolling down on cheeks.

Nothing to blame on star-casts; their flawless top-notched performance strikes straight into your hearts. They are sure to remain undiminished post-the-show. Sonu Sood brims up with an over-the-top act. Be it his gestures or facial expression, he looks full-blown from his previous hits Jodha Akbar, Singh is King. Ditto to Eesha Koppikar; she steals the show with her chasteness adding strength to emotional ratios. Alok Nath, Vallabh Vyas and Smitha come up with laudable performance while Vishal Malhotra exceeds your expectations.

Better it would've been, if Kaushik and Sooraj had their focus on technical panoramas. Except couple of songs inclusive of 'Mujhme Zinda Hai Woh', nothing works out magic especially in first half. Sashi and Sumit make the film more resplendent penning dialogues and they deserve special mention.

Ek Vivvah… Aisa Bhi is perfect in all vistas savoring to the tastes of audiences. Indeed, it's worthy carrying credits of 'One of the year's best family entertainer'. There aren't any letdowns from Rajshri Productions and hats off to entire team…

Verdict: Worth watching… Don't miss it.
