Review of Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd
Take a tour on this Travels
Last year Vivah brought us a journey of courtship, this a year another movie promises us to take a ride at a journey that just begins just after marriage rituals. Courtship is a way to interact with a spouse in who’s hands you are gonna bestow your life upon at least till divorce. Honeymoon is continuation of same journey in knowing nuances of spending time with each other and sharing a bed with person you have just ritually, legally agreed to sleep next to for rest of your or his/her life. The marriage being compound addition of two complex characters to find a simple solution to their shared combined life, Honeymoon is the journey taken to try and compete with each other and know when and where to compromise to keep marriage click ticking. The new venture from Bollywood has promised to encompass the first step taken as a duo in life from various angles and thereby listing different nuances of being married.
The Honeymoon travels ltd takes us to a tour which all married couples have gone through and singles either passionately wait for it or are scared hell of motion sickness. The movie is amalgam of six different stories of six couples taking their honeymoon tour to Goa in same bus. The couples each come from all different direction of India speak a different dialect and eat differently and think virtually apart but share a common term Married. To describe film I’ll break neatly woven stories in one thread to its threadlings if there is a word like that.
Couple 1- Zaara (Minishaa) and (Abhay) are perfect couple after sharing shameful and embarrassed childhood. They become extremely choreographed well synchronized couple. But there is a secret how they are so symbiotic though a same one, they have hidden from each other till a day suspicion begins
Couple2- Shabana Azmi and Boman Irani both married second time after being lonely by deaths of their respective halves take journey to rediscover love in their pains. They try to blend with each other, but trauma from past recurs and stops them till they over come it
Couple3- Partho(Kay Kay) and Raima Sen love each other and got married, but both have different angles to look at things. Inspite being in intense love, different strokes make their life and honeymoon difficult to handle till they find a solution on this trip
Couple4- Ranvir Shenoy is Gujrati business man married to ever crying disinterested wife Dia Mirza who doesn’t wanna step out of bathroom in the night. Then a biker boy Jignesh (Arjun Ramphal) steps in Goan church with a gun to take his love Dia in his life back, she cheers and sprints away.
Couple5- Amisha Patel is blabbering, broken English muttering Punjabi dame married to her submissive love Karran. Both are happy in love and all mushy as they could get. But on tour day, he discovers a hidden truth about himself that changes him and his behavior towards her completely.
Couple 6: Sandhya Mridul, a Mumbai porgi already cheated in love already finds a suitable NRI Siddarth tei a knot. While discovering each other’s anatomy to refine their nuptial vows, she learns a horrifying secret about his sexual orientation
The tour is set in Goa where everyone tries to resolve their summarized problems and then embark their routine nuptial life in harmony.
Film though had a new morning refreshing look, but oooh la lala wasn’t there. It’s like its there almost but not yet there. Reema Kagti has shown a tremendous potential in her direction and screenplay but couldn’t hide the notable flaws. Acting everyone did their best even Ameesha whom we expect least from. So to judge one is rather difficult. Issues like suicides, homosexuality and infidelity after marriage are well portrayed. Strong and condemnable points that surface as problems post marital are shown in lighter moods. Applause to well written work with a good focus. Technical disabilities can be worked upon. Can be seen once.
