The Wedding Photographer by Sakshama Puri Dhariwal - A Review

Have you ever watched a Romantic Comedy Hollywood & Bollywood movies that makes you relaxed, makes you forget all your worries, laugh out loud and keeps you captivated till the end? Sakshama brings you exactly the same through her fiction “The Wedding Photographer”. With plentiful of wit spread throughout the book, this book will refuse to leave your hand until you hit the last page. And, when you read, you cannot avoid your brain painting pictures of Risha, Arjun, Nitisha, Rohan, Rishabh and Nani in a Bollywood movie. How beautifully the words we read in this fiction gets converted to scenes? That’s the power of Sakshama’s writing.



The language used in this book is simple yet rich. Wherever required, the Indian touch is given by using ‘Punjabi’ in the dialogues (which in my opinion is the best instead of English which misses out the wit during translation). Nani’s language ‘pat name’, ‘most worst organization’, ‘just most worst organization’ almost made me ROFL. With a load of entertainment of a Punjabi wedding, and with some twists, the books stands tall among all other Romantic Comedy fictions!

It also portrays how ego plays a very important role in many relations. If only that ego curtain goes off, the life will be pleasant and lovely! Risha’s and Arjun’s characters stress this fact in every single instance in this book! It will also make all of us, stop a moment and introspect ourselves. We have our work, and we have our own passion. Many times, we forget the passion with the mounting work pressure. Sakshama neatly depicts this through Risha (and indirectly says such people are like Arjun). It also tells you a lot about life! Life is what we make out of it! Whoever feels stressed out at the end of the day, I strongly suggest, buy a copy of this book and read some 10-20 pages at the end of your day. I bet all your anxiety & stress will be washed away!


Sakshama, you only need a producer to convert this into a sooper-dooper Bollywood movie! Hope that day comes soon! Candy & Nani will stay in our minds until we read the next romantic comedy. Looking forward to your next one!
