If Hindu Marriage, then 1) A Hindu marriage may be solemnized in accordance with the customary rites and ceremonies of either party thereto.
(2) Where such rites and ceremonies include the Saptapadi (that is, the taking of seven steps by the bridegroom and the bride jointly before the sacred fire), the marriage becomes complete and binding when the seventh step is taken.
What does the small video contain? If above not adhered to then marriage not valid.

Hello
If your marriage is not performed according to Hindu law that means saptpadi and mangalsutra but you have photo and video so you have first relief to complaint against him with police station then after you move to court of law.
