Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.

It made me happy. What else do you need from a movie?

It has lots of good moments. And a really unnecessary song. May be the producer insisted on a romantic bollywood song?

The rest of the songs were so good.

Some characters required a little bit more depth. But I guess there's only so much you can do in a movie with so many characters.

The superhero thing felt weird. The fantasy song and superhero angle tries to take away the reality from the movie.

Anyhow, it's a fun movie to watch.

'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.

Six honeymoon couples on a bus trip to Goa - that lays the table wide open. Director Reema Kagti could have served whatever she wanted. A comedy about fumbling into martial bliss, a drama about discovering the challenges of being married, a social comment about how society and upbringing makes people view the institution of marriage differently. What she opts for is a multi-course meal with flavors of each. The result, an okay film that I'd suggest be better watched on a DVD at home instead of paying for a movie ticket.

There is all the variety you want. There is the married-against-wishes couple (Ranvir-Diya), married-and-at-peace couple (Abhay-Minnisha), married-and-u-have-changed-now couple (Kay Kay-Raima), married-and-i'm-confused couple (Newbie-Amisha), married-to-the-wrong-sex couple (Chatwal-Sandhya) and married-and-married couple (Boman-Shabana).

When you are telling a story about ordinary people and ordinary lives, you have a difficult task at hand. It is because you are telling the story of the very people sitting on the chairs of the movie hall and looking at the screen. You cannot lie to them or tell a story otherwise because it is their story. They know the beginning and they know the end. You have to be exact or you'll fail. If Kagti's story reminds anyone of their honeymoon and brings back forgotten memories, I guess whatever I say about this movie won't matter to them. That is the charm of telling simple stories. However, personally, I doubt this movie will remind anybody of anything.

The outstanding salsa by Abhay and Minnisha is the only take-home from the movie. 'Vaari-vaari' number is sure to be heard on the dance floors for a coming few months. Kay Kay has displayed his versatility and I'm sure we are going to see more of him in comedies. Amisha needs to learn that she need not keep smiling all the time, even while saying her lines. Boman, Shabana - these are minor challenges for them and they easy overcome. Raima Sen - I think she gets more screen time than any of the other female protagonists and she does full justice. Other actors get to do their bit and are okay.

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.

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
