There's a saying- All thats shining is not gold or a better one will be everything that is different is not great
This film tells a different story which is relatable it tells 6 different stories like SALAAM E ISHQ which was a long 3 hour bore with some stories working and some not
This is better then that as most stories seem realistic Frankly this different stories in 1 film may seem intriguing but actually it gets too boring and takes time to absorb the stories
Analysis of each story Boman- Shabana Good story and the relationship of Boman and Shabana is fantastic but the last part of the story is too sudden Boman and Shabana make a nice group like the elders in the team and act their parts naturally Boman often irritating with his comic acts except the Munnabhai Series and some more films does a great job here and seems natural except his hideous wig Shabana Azmi too is a fun to watch
Kaykay- Raima Sen This story seems believable but the way things are sorted out between them seems too quick but yet the paraglyding scene and KK's drunken act are superb Kay Kay is natural in his role and entertains with his charm and his talent He makes the most ordinary scenes too stand out Raima Sen too does well
Karan Khanna- Amisha Patel and Vikram Chaitwal- Sandhya Mridul The scenes between Amisha and Karan are too irritating and hence jar and the entire gay angle seems better avoided though quite believable and the conclusion too is too far fetched
Ranveer- Dia- Arjun The story is good and when Dia walks away with Arjun seems believable but the entire chase could be avoided Ranveer is a delight to watch and is a true natural, hope this actor gets off this DKD and all crap he is doing off late and come back to such cinema Dia is okay while Arjun has too short a role
Abhay- Minishaa this is the weirdest story and the SFX parts looks too stupid in a film as realistic as this Abhay irritates here and thank god has come a long way now though he was good in SNT and AHISTA AHISTA Minishaa is okay
Darshan Jariwala this track seems too far fetched in second half and the twist of the young guy doesn't work Darshan is a true natural and likable

This movie is just fun, it's funny and enjoyable. It's about six couples who go on a roadtrip honeymoon, each of them with very different and interesting backgrounds which are revealed in amusing flashbacks. The couples go through various emotions and events. The directing is great and the story touches on a number of issues that most bollywood movies are scared of.
great Soundtrack - this is a modern movie with a modern songs but features golden classics in the flashback scenes
narration - the movie features some creative narrating which is cool
boman irani- this guy is just great, one of the best comedians in bollywood. He can make you laugh hysterically without being extremely eccentric all the time like other comic greats (johnny lever, paresh rawal, etc.)
old blends with new in this flick and while you wont walk away saying "wow this was the greatest movie in all of civilization" -- especially after the abrupt ending which makes u wonder if they had to cut the movie short due to timing or length -- you will probably be glad you saw it.

This movie came out when I was in school. I watched the movie but didn't recall anything except sajna ji vari vari and pyar ki ye kahani suno. I wanted to watch something lighthearted and hence decided to rewatch it and i am sure I enjoyed it this time even more. I think it's a very good feel-good movie. Anyone who is not in the mood to watch serious stuffs can give this a try.
'Honeymoon Travels Private Ltd' is about 6 newly wed couples who come together during their honeymoon: There is a Bengali couple that comprises of a conservative husband (Kay Kay) and a ready to get wild wife (Raima). There is an envious seemingly perfect couple (Abhay Minissha), college sweethearts (Amisha Karan), an imperfect Gujarati couple Hitesh (Ranvir) and Shilpa (Dia Mirza) forms, a foreigner Richie (Vikram Chatwal) married to a hyperactive Bombay girl (Sandhya Mridul) and an older couple (Boman Irani Shabana Azmi). The rest of the plot consists of their story together during this traveling period, their self discovery and their true feelings for one another.
Kay Kay is excellent as the slightly shy and conservative husband. His dance in 'Sajnaji Vari Vari' is awesome and remains to be one of the most memorable scenes of the movie. He does pleasantly surprise with his comedic talents (since he's more known for his serious movies). Raima Sen is brilliant and she shows us a sexy side. Shabana Azmi never lets you down and after a long time, Boman Irani finally gives a decent performance (he's not loud nor annoying this time). Abhay Deol and Minisha Lamba share a nice chemistry, though they tend to be a little over the top. Amisha Patel succeeds in annoying and Karan Khanna hardly does anything. Ranvir Shorey makes impresses with a brief role while Dia Mirza doesn't. Sandhya Mridul is charming and wonderful while Vikram Chatwal is wooden.
Kagti's direction is decent and she tells the story well. However, there's something missing in the ending. It seems incomplete. One may wonder why such a finale was chosen.
All in all, this is a light hearted comedy and it does provide some laughs along with a few serious moments. Well, serious enough to keep you engaged, not to break down in tears. The 6 stories are nicely combined and the actors share a very comfortable chemistry. Something to enjoy with friends.

I was very excited about watching Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. until the reviews came out and made it sound like another mediocre Bollywood movie. Well, let me tell you my friends, the movie is anything but mediocre! In fact its one of most endearing movies I have seen in a while. All through the film I had a big smile on my face with many laugh-out-loud moments. Which may have been caused by Boman Irani's accent and twinkle in his eye, Kay Kay's (award winning) Bengali prudeness followed by the 'Sajnaji Vari Vari' jig or the oh-so-perfectly-synchronized couple with the big secret etc. The movie has its dramatic moments also that are compelling - no melodrama and no under-playing either, resulting in just the right impact.
Every story holds your interest (admittedly some more than others) and the characters are as flesh and blood as they can get. The casting is perfect resulting in believable performances. I watched the movie a second time and noticed the little things that I had missed the first time, which lead the viewer to the surprise elements. Reema Kagti's attention to detail made my respect for her direction, one notch higher. Not to forget the thumbprint of the hugely talented Farhan Akhtar.
'Honeymoon Travels' is not flawless but the flaws are few and far between and can be forgiven. Its a movie that made me believe that you don't have to have big budgets, big stars, gloss and pretentious movie makers to entertain. The most important thing is that the movie should have a soul. Great job team of Honeymoon Travels! We want more!!
