Plot
Bharose
(Amit
Sadh),
a
Bihari
migrant
in
Amritsar
works in
a
bridal
wear
store
and
is
secretly
in
love
with
the
owner's
daughter
Nimmi
(Taapsee
Pannu).
The
film
opens
with
her
making
a
startling
confession
to
him
that
she
got
hanky-panky
with
a
guy
and
now
fears
missing
her
monthly
periods.
Bharose
being
our
desi hero
somehow
manages
to
bail
her
out
of
the
situation.
Times
passes
by.
Nimmi
soon
joins
college
and
starts
ignoring
Bharose
as
she
feels
embarrassed
of
their
friendship.
Angered
by
her
changed
behaviour
and
post
a
tiff
with
her
father,
Bharose
quits
his
job
and decides
to
move
on
by
giving his
nod
to
marry
a
young
girl
in
his
hometown
Bihar.
While
coming
across
a
couple
who
are
being
beaten
up
by
their
families
for
eloping, a
jobless
Bharose
gets
an
idea
of
coming
up
with
a
website
that
helps lovers
elope.
He
and
his close
friend Cyberjeet
(Arsh
Bajwa)
start
Running
Shaadi
along
with
some
financial
help
from
Nimmi.
Things
work smoothly
until
one
day
Nimmi
turns
to
seek
help
from
Bharose
to
elope
with
Shanty,
a
guy
she
is
supposedly
in
love
with.
Will
Bharose
let
go
of
his
love?
Direction
Amit
Roy
churns
some
madcap
fun
surrounding
the
Great
Indian
Wedding,
but
fails
to
make
it
last
long.
Running
Shaadi
seems
to
heavily
borrowed
from
films
like
Band
Baja
Baraat
and
Jab
We
Met.
Thankfully,
he
has
lent
some
depth
to
his
lead
characters
and
that
ensures
a
some-what
smooth
sail.
The
film
starts
with
a
bang
and
then
whimpers
until
the
second
half
begins.
Post
interval,
you
get
to
see
an
interesting
mix
of
characters
thrown
in
the
plot
with
occasional
comic
relief.
Performances
Taapsee
Pannu
exhibits
the
right
amount
of
spunkiness
and
lends
a
quirky
touch
to
her
role.
She
has
her
own
moments
of
shine.
On
the
flip
side,
her
heavily
accented
Punjabi
make
you
miss
a
dialogue
or
two.
Amit
Sadh
delivers
a
sincere
performance
and
together
with
Taapsee
tugs
your
heartstrings
in
few
scenes.
Arsh
Bajwa
is
a
total
fun
to
watch.
Brijendra
Kala
too
adds
a
humourous
touch
to
the
film.
Technical
Aspects
Running
Shaadi
starts
off
as
a
novel
concept
of
'runaway
marriages' only
to
fall
prey
to
a
clichéd
Bollywood
love
story.
Amit
Roy
and
Navjyot
Gulati's
writing
sparkles
and
entertains
but
only
in
bits
and
pieces.
Every
time
the
word
'.com'
is
beeped
from
the
dialogues,
it
acts
more
like
a
party
pooper
and
ruins
the
cinematic
experience
as
a
distraction.
The
cinematography
works
just
fine
but
the
film
could
have
been
snipped
by
a
few
minutes.
Music
The
film
scores
low
in
the
music
department
as
none
of
the
songs
seem
to
have
a
recall
value.
Verdict
Running
Shaadi
could
have
made
for
a
good
short
film
instead.
Stretching
the
runtime
to
114
minutes
doesn't
serve
the
purpose.
Nevertheless,
it
still
makes
up
a
partly
entertaining
watch.
