So I watched Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Limited a few days ago. It has some very good actors in it. Shabana Azmi. Boman Irani. Abhay Deol, who is always so darn earnest its hard to dislike him. And Sandhya Mridul. Who I rather liked in Waisa Bhi Hota Hai-PartII. I don't think I've ever seen such a collection of a wonderful actors in such a mediocre movie. For what its worth, here's my take on it:
1). NRI husband: Big no no...they're all gay! Especially the ones with longish, straggly hair and mongrel-like eyes.
2). Hairstyles of the 70s should stay in the 70s...what say Mr.Irani?
3). Arjun Rampal=Sure-shot flop. (More power to him for being such a trier though.)
4). Indian men in the des: All bleddy philanderers!
5). The Lifetime Achievement Award for best portrayal of a sorry bastard belongs to Kay Kay, and Kay Kay alone. (Witness: Corporate, Hazaaron K Aisi, Life in a metro, and now HTPL) The man is a genius. Lau him.
6). Amisha Patel: There's a reason her parents gave up on her.
7). Raima Sen: Aaj ki Draupadi. No sari. Also no lajja. And no need Lord Krishna. She can pulverize the goons all by herself.
8). Scene of the movie: Boman planting a big smackeroo on Shabana's lips in broad daylight. Stylish and funny, not to mention...romantic!
9). The most important lesson I learnt from HTPL: Superpower couples exist. Now that I think about it...I think I know one. Annoyingly, cloyingly sweet, and disturbingly alike. Yeah. I know one of those couples.
10). A final thought....a burning question that was not answered in the movie: Do all superheroes wear their chaddis outside their tight tights?
