A video from a wedding that showed the couple’s dramatic entry on a moving, steel machine gun-inspired prop has gone viral, sparking a mix of reactions online.
The elaborate entrance was a nod to Animal, Ranbir Kapoor’s 2023 blockbuster, where his character famously wielded a massive 500 kg machine gun in an adrenaline-pumping interval block. The bride and groom recreated this cinematic moment by riding into their venue atop the custom-made machine gun prop, adding a giant dose of Bollywood flair to their big day.
Shared by Instagram user Ashish Suiwal, the video has garnered over 16 million views. While the scene was undeniably amusing, it also drew heavy criticism.

Social media users were far from impressed and criticised the couple in the comment section.
Influencer Anupriya Kapur commented, “Imagine marrying a man who thinks Animal was cool.” Another user wrote, “Aminal downloaded from Torrent.”
A third person wrote, “arrange marriage is scary what if…”
Another Instagram user commented, “Imagine them watching this 5 years later.”
It seems like this year’s weddings are anything but ordinary. Another couple took things to a different level by reinterpreting the famous swayamvar tale of Ram and Sita on their wedding.
