What do you make of the worldview of a film (and by association, its makers) that while there is a progressive song in it extolling the change of guard among genders, as it were, where women indeed hold the baton of power — 'Zamana badal gaya' — the film itself is about the dire need for women to desperately find a man, and leave their parental home. Which is something the girl too seems reasonably reconciled towards.

This film is more specifically set around a shot-gun wedding that, in a more urban context, would probably mean the sort of marriage that takes place out of compulsion — more often than not, the girl being pregnant and wanting the child, and the boy having no choice in the matter. But the shot-gun wedding reference is a lot more liberal, implying a groom being kidnapped and forced to marry a girl he's never seen.
