Critique a fashion, lifestyle show | BAND BAAJA BRIDE

BAND BAAJA BRIDE
The fashion and lifestyle show that I chose to talk about in this assignment is Band Baaja Bride, a show on NDTV Good Times. This is one sensational show. A makeover for everything. The show aims on grooming a bride for her dream wedding. A chance to select her dream outfit, get the best make over in terms of physical appearance from makeup to hair and skin. The show later came out with a twist and brought the ‘jodi’ , the bride as well as the groom and give them their fairytale wedding. Designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee lends his expertise and name to the show, along with style mentor and anchor Freishia Bomanbehram, Ambica Anand and Bharat Arora who equally contribute their part on the show. The show is extremely warm and where the technical part is concerned, it is extremely organised. One particular episode is not shot on one particular set or location. There are multiple places they visit, which is a challenge as those are not created sets but are existing places where they go for interviews and set up their cameras, lights and audio set-ups. From designer’s studio, to makeover studios like beauty salon, to hair and makeup studios. Skin care appointments to dentist visits, the entire process as per seatings is shown with the overall results. The entire team and the ‘jodi’s’ family’s warm encounter.


The encounter with the designer is where the bride, the designer and the anchor have a one-on-one discussion and what is expected and how to go about the look. It is a critical conversation as it is the backbone of the entire episode. When the designer and the bride discuss about her look, the host talks about the same to the viewers and hence keep them connected. It is a heart touching show as it involves deep emotions keeping in mind the show aesthetics and decorum. Often the show shoots on outdoor locations as well which involves interviews, shoots and appointments. 
From day one to the final wedding day, the show is edited to bring out the overall essence. 
Different brides from all walks of life, with different lifestyle, and varied outlook come on the same platform for same dream, which is to look the best they have ever looked, on the most beautiful day, the wedding day.
