Our first OST for Luv & Hemali – Haule Se

There’s something about doing something for the first time. Your first love, your first day in school/college/work, your first car/bike, your first award, etc. After covering dozens of weddings and projecting so many love stories, it was necessary to add more customization to our ways of story telling.
Music is the soul of every emotion and a wedding is the biggest institution of various emotions, relations and personalities. Looking at that perspective, we at Signature Films & Israni Photography are proud to present our first ‘Original Sound Track’ for our first in house wedding of Luv And Megha Israni – ‘Haule Se’

The inception of the idea for the song happened over 2 years ago with lyrics, music, and an occasion. Then as they say, almighty gifted us with the perfect occasion, and i.e. Luv’s wedding.
There were no second thoughts about the person singing the song, as Rahul Vaidya who is not only one of the greatest sensations India has but also the fact that, the amount of heart and soul he puts into his work is completely remarkable. This is evident every time anyone of us tunes into the song.
This song was recorded with true instincts. Rahul had completed a full recording for the song, but after listening to it he was not convinced enough. Thus, he insisted on re recorded the entire song and made changes to it with the lyricist, Amar Khandha. Talking about Amar, he has a mind of a magician. He knew exactly what we wanted, what a wedding music would require and what the final output would sound like. The song was architected with over 10 instruments and then molded finally by Rahul Vaidya in his mesmerizing voice.
At last, when we made Luv and Hemali listen to the song – It was Love at first hearing for them!

So here’s our first OST – ‘Haule Se’


Special thanks to – Rahul Vaidya, Amar Khandha and everyone who has supported us over the years.

The Cocktail & Reception Night Magic – Bhajji Weds Geeta

The ‘Navneet Karla’ Farm House was lit up with the favorite faces of India for the Cocktail Party. The place had a unique glamour quotient and the décor was impeccable to justify the term – ‘Wedding of the Year’. The Reception was at the Taj Palace in Delhi, which again witnessed the biggest news makers in the Cricket & Political industry.

At the Cocktail party, the Delhi boys Virat Kohli & Ashish Nehra became the party sensations. With moves like that, even Prabhudeva would see competition in them. Adding more masala to this, the party got its Punjabi tadka to it. withRahul Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli & Yuvraj Singh. It seemed like they had carried special shoes to dance shoes to dance to their favourite Punjabi numbers. No denying that Punjabi music runs in their blood. So much for the ‘Ladke Waale’, on the other hand; the ‘Bride’s Gang’ was all about Bollywood jhatka and matka. Geeta looked gorgeous in a Babita Malkani pink gown and looked like a princess walking from the heavens.

At the Reception, to top the guest list of all of the previous celebrations, we had the big political inspirations like Prime Minister Narendra Modi & Ex Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who came to bless the favourite Bride & Groom of the year.


With 14 events and rituals covered for the wedding without any Heli-Cams for security reasons. This wedding movie is going to be one hell of a mad journey in the editing room with so many people, events, moments and emotions to be showcased.

Here are some more exclusive images from the celebrations:

Wedding of the Year – Geeta Weds Harbhajan

A celebrity wedding is about, style, glamour, panache, designer outfits, out of the box arrangements, the who’s who of the entertainment world and a lot more.

Harbhajan Singh & Geeta Basra are a celebrity couple who have been in a 7 years of courtship and finally tying the knot. This wedding will be hosted by this beautiful couple and will have the top-notch guest list from Bollywood to the sports universe.
Where the world is talking about the glitz and glamour around this wedding, we have experienced the simplicity and and the grounded personalities of this beautiful couple.
The wedding guest list didn’t only have the who’s who of the Cricketing fraternity; but even had all of Harbhajan Singh’s teachers and all those people who had not seen in a very long time.

We even had his close team-mate and Cricketing partner, Sachin Tendulkar at the wedding attending a very private affair for one of the ceremonies.

The pheras took place inside a Gurudwara in a simple ‘four pheras’ ritual.
Both Harbhajan & Geeta being very simple at heart and rooted to their values, they wanted to get married in Jalandar and celebrate with all those people who matter to them and all those have been a very important part of their lives until date.


P.S – Stay tuned to this space for exclusive images from the wedding of the year #GeetaWedsBhajji

Siblings for Eternity

Luv & Megha… are not just siblings, but two individuals who have lived for each other, stood by each other and in someway belong to very similar ideologies! Megha as a child was extremely possessive which eventually inversed as a habit into Luv. Megha is of the sorts who would even go and wrestle it out with a giant for her Bhai – Luv (That’s what she calls her since childhood). On the other hand Luv wouldn’t hold back to make Megha feel like the Queen of the world.

Luv and Megha don’t belong to a particular universe, well when you watch closely; they have a universe of their own. This video is a tribute to all those who love their siblings to the farthest Galaxy and back. It wouldn’t be possible without their ever loving parents and every person who has helped in reaching where they are today.


Special thanks goes to...

Parents - For making them who they are.
The Legend - RD Burman for creating such a beautiful song. It's a song that is defines Luv & Megha!
Last but not the least... A BIG thanks to Jankee for lending out her beautiful voice & doing complete justice in packaging the video!

Acceptance


When we say we love someone and wish to live our lives with someone, we make huge promises and commitments. But when it comes to little things in life, we don't accept the person the way they are, not realizing that you're not getting married to a new born child but to a mature individual who has his own surrounding, his own way of living. You can't change a person’s habits that have been part of him for the last 20- 25- 27 years. So it's nice when a change is made from within, you become a better person, a better human. Positive changes are great. That effort is fair. But things like, 'you must comb your hair like this and not like that, I like you in open hair, and short hair', these are materialistic and outer things. Another very common example is turning into a vegetarian for your partner. 

God has made a few things in a certain way. The core values of a person are unchangeable. I have known people who are typical Bollywood music lovers who end up falling in love with English music fans. 5 years later you meet them and they are talking shit about the same Bollywood music they have been brought up listening to. Loyalties changed..!! Today, giving company to enjoy each other’s choices is a 'can do', but changing your own choices is a definite 'no can do'. Why does one person change his/her taste buds to accommodate another's taste buds? Why is it necessary to have only one dish between two people? If one likes Chinese the other prefers Indian, there are ample restaurants that serve both. Share the joy of a meal together not the plate. Adults today say to each other when in love, 'I will change for you'. But changes are very temporary. 

The 'me' in the relationship gets lost. Marriages fall, because initially I give you 3 slices of bread when I knew 1 would fill your hunger enough. Suddenly I give you just 1. What happens to the 2 slices? Those 2 slices come out in the form of irritation, frustration and fights. Don't let those 2 unwanted slices of bread be the reason for a fall in a beautiful journey you have shared all this while. When in the dating phase you do everything to make her happy forgetting the realistic and practical element that you're now princess, baby, darling, sweetie is at some point of time in life going to have a hard time where she may have to cry. It's wrong to commit to her that 'baby I won't let a tear dwell in your eye ever'. There is no harm when a girl cries tomorrow. When you are happy, that’s all you care for. So why is being sad made such a big deal of. Accept any situation gracefully. Face your troubles with the same 'Thank you God' spirit, like you do with happiness. It’s only making you a stronger individual. If you want a happy ending, do what you can die doing.

Science of life says exactly that, give that much love that you can sustain for the rest of your life. Make your loved one used to what you are from day one. Let there be acceptance. Don't force a relationship to work if it steals your individuality. On a closing note, very rightly said, if you can't be true to whom you are, you can't be true to the people you choose to live with.

Soulmates...

Soul mates, they start with a promise to be together forever. This wedding was something more than just being soul mates, probably the biggest Wedding extravaganza Chennai ever witnessed. It was so special for me to capture a typical Marwari wedding planned in the land of south.  The pretty and cute Shraddha hails from Indore while the simple and loving Pramod is from Chennai. The reason why this wedding film is called Soul mates is because it showcases a tale of two souls which have bonded mystically to become mates for life.

The concept of arranged marriage was never understood or conceived by either of them until they met for the first time and cupid struck. They couldn't stop talking, so they say. This film is made to be an actual proof for those people who fail to have faith in the institution of arranged marriages and wonder how over an hour meeting can transform two different individuals to spend rest of their lives together.Undoubtedly, a Marwari wedding is one of the most colorful events one would love to be a part of. A five day celebration packed with music, dance and yummilicious food. This particular wedding exhibited grandeur in style, thanks to the lovely hospitality and ambience created by Platinum World Weddings and awe inspiring decor by Rachnoutsav events. Love was in the air in Chennai as the lovely couple, Pramod and Shraddha exchanged vows. Accompanied with enthusiastic friends and cousins it was a total block buster.

The dance floor was jam packed in the Sangeet ceremony as everyone grooved to the magical beats. It was a visual treat for us to capture every moment of awesomeness in this wedding. So much more lot to cherish for families, they both set a tone for their comfort together and looking forward for an eternal journey with a promise to never lose on this never-ending bond. Indeed Graceful.What could add more to this fun party was Vishal Shekhar performing songs of togetherness. Undeniably it was a treat to all the guests. It was like a make a wish and it will be granted kind of day for bride and groom.

We wish that this joy of togetherness never ends for Pramod and Shraddha. While they oath “There is nothing on earth more beautiful to me than your smile...no sound sweeter than your laughter...no pleasure greater than holding you in my arms. I realized today that I could never live without you. In this life and the next, you’re my only hope of happiness. Tell me, dearest love...how did you reach so far inside my heart?”
