I think, at times, TV promos choose the wrong things to showcase a movie. The TV promo of Honeymoon travels Pvt. Ltd has the main actors dancing away crazily to Sunidhi Chauhan's voice singing 'Sajnaaji vaari vaari jauu ji mein ....aisa mera pyaar haii'. Kitna bhaddha gaana hai - I thought. Ill-composed - if there is any word like that.

Huuh! Not really; in fact, seen in the spirit of the movie the song is quite alright and so is the movie. Quite the quick paced medley of romantic stories and far better than the recent musical bollywood 'blah' - Salaam-e-ishq!!!

So we have good acting, funny twists, sensible nuances to some couples - Shabana and Boman ki jodi - wah huzoor! All these will keep you hooked on and never come across as too overly melodramatic and hence boring. (Nikhil Advani - please note!)

What really won my heart was the way debutante director Reema Kagti and the scriptwriters have chosen Radio Mirchi for surrogate marketing and specifically used retro Hindi movie songs to pack a punch to flashbacks. Hats off!

I guess we all are filmy at times, but don't admit it :) passing off scenes from our lives as filmy kahani.
So, pack a punch the movie does when, for instance, the character Madhu walks out heartbroken since she just realised the person she loved is married and the stereo in the rickshaw blares 'dil haa dil ye sheesha hee toh hai' or, in another scene with the usage of 'dekho maine dekha hai ye ek sapna'...

I'm a sucker for these; kinda makes you wait for the next one! This is not new by the way. Remember Shahrukh wooing the sexy sari girl Sushmita with 'chaand mera dil'? Also, of course, how about 'chahiye thoda pyaar' in Taxi No. 9211 - Very niiiice.
It's good to see people still like retro music :) Waiting to see more from Reema!
