Band Baaja Baraat Meaning

The meaning of Band Baaja Baraat (Or Band Baaja Baarat) is quite mixed up. Band here is the English word, while baaja means a musical instrument. Still, when you say band-baaja, it means a procession-like situation where a band may contain tens of members with quite loud musical instruments. Baaraat, at the same time means a wedding procession which a bridegroom is supposed to take to the bride's home, and the band-baaja explained here is part and parcel of this baaraat. So you see, band-baaja-baraat means a loud thing in a wedding.

Band Baaja Baraat is a new Bollywood movie produced by Aditya Chopra. The movie was earlier called Shadi Mubarak Ho (Congratulations on marriage).
