Want a Bollywood anniversary ecard where the two of you are the stars? Bollywood Anniversary on Tangy Limes puts both your real faces, cut out of photos, on two dancers singing an original song, from a palace courtyard to a stage with falling petals. You upload the photos, type the names, and the preview is free.
It also works as an Indian anniversary card for your parents, who will watch it more times than they'll admit and forward it to everyone they've ever met.
What's in Bollywood Anniversary
The headline says HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. It's about 40 seconds, one guy and one girl on the dancers, and the mouths move to the words. Every number needs a location budget, and this one spent it. Four scenes:
The palace courtyard. Orange marigold garlands, hanging lanterns, an embroidered cream kurta and a bright pink lehenga. Screwing in the light bulb, shoulder shimmies, a sway, and a final pose held slightly too long.
The city rooftop. Night, strings of golden lights, a sharp navy bandhgala jacket. A hero arm flung out, a bhangra bounce, then pointing and grinning. Everyone has met an uncle who does exactly this at weddings.
The mustard field. Sunny, yellow as far as you can see, a flowing salwar suit and a long scarf floating overhead during the twirl. You knew there would be a field. There's always a field.
The grand stage. Petals fall on the finale, because a number can't end with two people just stopping.
Funny Indian anniversary wishes to send with it
Paste one above the link. Change the names, and possibly the auntie.
- Happy anniversary. Mummy says the rishta is non-refundable.
- Still together, and the aunties have run out of theories.
- Another year, and you still haven't learned to say "we're five minutes away" honestly.
- To the only person I'd share my last gulab jamun with. Don't ask twice.
- Your love story has fewer songs than this, but also fewer villains. Happy anniversary.
For parents, try: "Sorry we couldn't get you a real palace. We got you this." You can also type over the headline. 25 YEARS, NO INTERMISSION fits the mood.
Who to star in it
The two of you. Cast yourselves as leads. You choose who goes on which dancer, so you can decide who gets the hero arm. Expect a discussion.
Your parents. This is the one I'd make first. Dad on the rooftop in a bandhgala, Mum in the mustard field. It's a cutout of their real faces with nothing redrawn by AI, so they still look like themselves, just far more flexible.
Friends with a big anniversary coming. Pull photos from the wedding album or their Instagram. A wedding photo with a heavy garland in frame is fine, as long as you can see the whole face. If the cutout clips some hair, you can paint it back.
Want the song to name them? A custom song is a separate $9.99. You say what it's about or write the words, edit every line before paying, and then their faces sing it.
If this crowd loves a dance floor generally, Salsa Anniversary goes from a salsa club with trumpets to a beach at sunset, and Still Dancing starts in a ballroom with a live jazz band. Both take two faces. Neither has a mustard field, which I consider a flaw.
Getting it to the family group
Make a share link and paste it into WhatsApp. It opens a plain web page that plays the video, so nobody has to install anything or remember a password, which saves you a phone call from your father. You can also download the MP4 and send the file, and it saves in square, wide or phone shapes.
Checking the preview with both faces is free. Keeping it is a one-time $1.99, no subscription, which is less than the marigolds.
