Arranged marriage

Several Indian friends and family members have linked to this 12-minute video about two people deciding to enter into an arranged marriage.   Evidently, it resonates with them in some way.

I feel like I don't get it.  The video doesn't give me a particularly positive impression of arranged marriage.  The dialogue between the man and the woman seems forced and unpleasant, and I don't buy that they would be happy together.  Maybe if the two main characters were more likable, the video would be more successful at conveying its message...
