A Highly Entertaining
Movie
New
York, NY: Marriages are full of surprises. And honeymoons
can be quite an astonishing package themselves. Producers
Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani team up with writer and
director Reema Kagti to present the story of a motley group
of six honeymooning couples. With a radio show, a tourist
guide, a driver and a handyman woven into the hectic four-day
honeymoon schedule, the movie humorously unfolds the different
dimensions of love and human relationships along the couples’
journey from Bombay to Goa.
The well-thought out casting includes some of the most brilliant
actors in filmdom. Boman Irani and Shabana Azmi play the
out-of-place older couple from Mumbai that has recently
discovered the meaning of life. Amisha Patel lives the role
of a melodramatic wife while Karan Khanna plays the more
reticent beau. KK and Raima Sen, the Bengali couple in a
marriage ravaged by sexism, portray another element of marriage.
Ranvir Shohrey bears upon himself the task of pleasing his
wife, Dia Mirza, before they end their honeymoon. Abhay
Deol and Minissha Lamba are wrapped in a cocoon of love,
a fruit of their childhood affection, and nothing can ever
mar this perfect relationship. Sandhaya Mridul and her NRI
husband, Vikram Chatwal, met over the Internet and are now
on their way to Goa to discover each other in person. As
these six eclectic couples come together aboard the Honeymoon
Travels Pvt. Ltd. omnibus, a hilarious sequence of events
ensues with a valuable message in the end.
Acclaimed music directors Vishal and Shekhar of Bluffmaster
and Salaam Namaste fame titillate listeners with another
funky soundtrack replete with instrumentals and remix versions.
“Jaane Hai Woh Kahan” sung by Shaan and Shreya
Ghoshal is the slow track of the album that will go down
as a classic. “Halke Halke” and its remixed
counterpart, “Albela Albela” and “Sajnaji
Vaari Vaari” bring to mind the freshness of the musical
duo’s previous hits. “Pyaar Ki Yeh Kehna”
adds a Latino touch to this diverse album.
