In a bold attempt at making their wedding unforgettable, an Indian couple has left people divided by their dramatic, Bollywood-style wedding entry. As inspired by a scene from the 2023 film Animal of Ranbir Kapoor, the groom and bride, instead of walking down that traditional aisle, made this grand entrance on a specifically crafted steel machine gun prop. This unexpected and controversial entrance has since become viral, racking up more than 21 million views on Instagram with people sharing their reactions across the world.
Bollywood-Inspired Entrance: Shocking and Controversial
Instead of the traditional bridal procession, the couple decided to include a touch of cinematic drama—resembling a movie scene that was both awe-inspiring and confusing. The video featured the newlyweds arriving on a machine gun prop, intended to be dramatic. While the concept was obviously to be impressive, the choice of prop and inspiration made people wonder if it was appropriate for a wedding ceremony.

The internet quickly reacted, and the video sparked a mix of criticism and humour. Some social media users raised concerns about the symbolism of violence, referring to the machine gun from Animal as a troubling symbol for a wedding celebration. “Shaadi or war?” one comment read, while others humorously suggested, “Are the guests hostages?”
Critics and Comedy: The Internet Roasts the Wedding Entry
The comments section was flooded with humorous and skeptical reactions. Many questioned the logic behind choosing a character from a movie known for its themes of revenge and violence. One user asked, “Why would anyone with a brain do this?” Another comment took aim at the film‘s darker themes, remarking, “What! Why would you become a character that killed people for revenge/power?”
The third person termed it as “the influence of poor film.” Although most people laughed at the drama, some people could not understand the importance of all that drama in a loving wedding ceremony.
Not Alone in Over-the-Top Wedding Entrances
This viral incident of a wedding entrance is no first; earlier, a bride and her father became viral for getting to their ceremony inside a moving chandelier, one that also went viral, but not without many mixed reviews online. Whether these moments are fun and memorable orsubtract from the authenticity of the wedding is at the hands of each who sees and hears about them.
While the daring entrance by the couple was certainly “wow,“ it might also be remembered for the speed at which the internet responded—both with humour and with criticism. Whether this becomes a favorite “memorable moment“ in wedding history or fades into an awkward viral trend, one thing is for sure: creativity and controversy are sometimes on the same thin line, especially when the internet is paying attention.
