Honeymoon travels pvt ltd -

If Nikhil Advani with 23+ reels of raw stock failed in depicting love stories of 6 couple, Writer / Director - Reema Kagti does it with aplomb in her debut with only 12 reels !

Pure, fun & frolic comic caper with a treatment as fresh as mint ! Bold, unconventional , witty and yet talking volumes on marriage and relationship . Anurag Kashyap (dir of Black Friday) returns here to demonstrate his skills as a dialogue writer with some gems of dialogues on relationships .

Do not go for this movie with a mountain of expectations , i am sure married as well as courting couples will identify with the bitter-sweet memories of their relationship. Makes up for a cute Date Movie !!

The movie gets straight to the point, without wasting any moment / raw stock showing the 6 couples beginning their journey to Goa . The director uses great imagination in using RJ (Radio Mirchi) as a sutradhar in giving us short insight / flashback in the lives of every couple, with a suitable song of the yesteryears to suit the emotions .

Music by Vishal-Shekar is fresh and energetic , camerawork is non distracting and simple .

The couples as you would have seen in the funny trailors of the movie are -

Shabana Azmi – Boman Irani: portraying couple brought together by a tryst of fate . Many delicate moments in this sweet story, wonderfully performed by Shabana & the ever surprising ever shining and endearing Boman.

Kay Kay Menon – Raima Sen: Bong couple , a conservative husband and a cute wife . The scene showing them in boxing ring is hilariously imaginative, hats off to the director in conjuring this ordinary tu tu main main scene as a boxing match between arch rivals . Kay Kay breaking into a jig, is ofcourse one of the highlights of the film.

Amisha Patel – Karan Khanna: A romantica at heart amisha in a chatterbox role and a hubby who is confused (dont want to reveal much here) !

Sandhya Mridul – Vikram Chatwal: Net marriage and how the story unfolds may be a surprise and shock to many . Sandhya's story has touching moments (the one talking about her past )

Abhay Deol – Minissha Lamba: Playing the perfect couple , perfect romance , perfect dance partners and both of them cootchie-cooing and exchanging sweet nothings even at the lunch table . Here I felt the director wanted to share with the audience that there is no such thing as `Perfect Couple' ( hence the track of superman/supergirl) . For a relationship to work , it takes superhuman efforts from both the parties . Alas, most in the audience could not fathom this sub story hence would find it far fetched .

Ranveer Shorey – Dia Mirza – (surprise guest appearance by an actor) : - The shortest story, I wish ranveer was given more footage . He is in great form as a gujju husband . The scene where he is brooding post his wife ditching him and kay kay trying to console him is howlarious.

Every one has a role and a meaning attached to ongoing of the story . The driver as a moral crusader / the guide and his hinglish / the cleaner with his love story .

Go 4 it with the one you love .

A feel good movie with the sunny side up :-)
