HONEYMOON TRAVELS PVT. LTD. (2007)
This quirky comedy-drama with music, about six newly-married (and very diverse) couples in India who've all signed on for the same tour bus to Goa, depicts the lives of what it's like for honeymooners trying to settle into their new marriage. Whether it's Nahid and Oscar, middle-aged and each on their second marriage, to the uptight Partho and his more free-thinking wife Milly, to the nearly too-good-to-be-true Aspi and Zara (who seem to be so much in love with each other, since childhood, it borders on nauseating), to the stern Hitesh and his weeping bride Shilpa and more, each couple's background is given fair game during the film, as truths come out and relationships (as well as love) are tested, in the end, for all the travelers. A bit uneven at times, but you grow to care about the characters and there are enough surprises in store to keep things interesting ... in one case, even romantic and sweetly mystical. The music is also pretty awesome. (not rated) (trailer not fully in English, sorry) B
It's great that you're putting up the trailer too and I kind of liked the foreign language bit at the end. Great review and it's piqued my interest: sounds interesting and sometimes you WANT an undemanding "B" movie
