Review of Just Married

Just Merryed
Just in call centre era, where live in relationships, single parents, same sex couples are becoming easy words to gulp down with morning cuppa of tea, Bollywood is lagging behind in time. Last year we saw Vivah taking us through journey of courtship of 2 unknown people set by parents. Then we take a bus ride with six defrayed couples on their honeymoon to Goa. Now, Boskie aka Meghana Gulzar brings us embracement of a newly wed couple who know nothing but name about themselves to their new life as a couple. So, munch your candies and sip the ice teas and step up on the fast track view of the movie.
The NRI Abhay Sachdeva (Fardeen Khan), who by all means defies rule of a NRI, is settled in India after parent’s cries and woes. He gets trapped in match making abilities of traditional Indian parents. After a whole chapter of blackmailing, he is made to sit next to a Ritika Khanna (Esha Deol) and agni generally used for marriage purposes in Hindu wedding. Ritika Khanna who is equally flabbergasted on marrying a guy, whom she barely meets one time where her aunt is busy chatting, gets another volt of shock to know that they have to leave for 5 day honeymoon next morning of their nuptial night. Off is duo to a bus in Ooty with fellow passengers as old couple (Kirron Kher and Satish Shah), who on occasion of their 40 th anniversary are on troop arranged by kids. The bus journey is passed by introductions and general information gathering. The newly weds are all nervous about approaches to each other. They encounter more couples on honeymoon in their hotel. Anu (Perizaad Zorabain) and Rishab (Bikram Saluja) are busy into exploring each other heedless about their surroundings. Shoheb Mirza(Mukul Dev) doesn’t matter about her wife’s (Anya) whereabouts on honeymoon. Australian NRI Arjun Kohli( Raj Zushti) is touring with his long time girlfriend Australian Amrita(Natasha). The sexual desires of Abhay are in state of dilemma of expressing itself to Ritika and receive a big jolt when he learns that it is really difficult to even touch icy Ritika. Ritika, meanwhile is facing all her fears come true in bedroom in solace with Abhay. Afraid to sleep on same bed, she sleeps on sofa and tries very hard to stay away from touches of Abhay. Frustrated nut understanding hubby also separates bed for her to sleep peacefully, but till a day all anger surfaces up. The first argument of marriage is deep and uncovers all truths and beliefs of arranged marriage. Then in process of understanding each other by discovering horrifying and sarcastic truths of their fellow travelers, value and respect for ach other increases. Live in relationships, other woman, habit sharing, and ignorance for each other are all problems with which the couples stuck with. The journey encompasses various aspects of marriage unknown to many. The climax is taken a metaphor for hardship which brings the main couple close to each other and blends them.
Meghana Gulzar after a gap of 4 years hasn’t disappointed me a bit. The Filhaal girl has struck back with a good grip on screenplay dialogues and direction. The surprise packages of movie were lead couple. Fardeen Khan and Esha Deol have put audience in shock by their awestruck performances. Kirron Kher proved that role was just written for her. Satish Shah, Mukul Dev and Perizaad did gr888 job. Bikram Saluja did go little over the edge in his performance. The script is good masterpiece. The movie really puts us commitment freak individuals at ease about marriage issues. The issues of infidelity and mismatch couples are well handled and showcased. Movie is great watch for everyone and worthy Rs.100 to spend on. So, Just go see Just Married.
