We start with the senior
citizen couple who are married for the second time-
Boman Irani and Shabana Azmi.
There's the Delhi couple of Amisha Patel and Karan
Khanna where Amisha is the typical talkative North
Indian girl who believes her life is a fairy tale while
her husband harbours a secret that makes the trip a
chore for him.
Commendable perfornces are seen from the third couple
(the Bengali couple) Kay Kay Menon and Raima Sen where
he is the tightly wound husband and she is his
aching-to-be-free-spirited wife - who wants to and
actually freaks out in their honeymoon.
Ranvir Shorey and the gorgeous Dia Mirza the gujju
couple from Surat, theirs is an arranged marriage and
she will not let him get anywhere near her when they are
alone.
Abhay Deol and Minissha Lamba play the most happiest
Parsi couple who have known each other 16 years and
never had so much as a disagreement.

And finally, there's Vikram
Chatwal and Sandhya Mridul playing the expat and his new
bride -- who have met unconventionally thru the
internet, so naturally both have secrets from each
other.
The film starts with a
documentary type cinematography, which then naturally
gets acceptable as the film goes on and by the mid half,
a comfortable feeling runs through. Only the characters
of Kay Kay Menon and Raima, and the parsi couple are
well developed.
The couple which met thru the net can be identified with
our present next gen guys and gals.
There is a fantasy element to one of the couple's
stories thats supposed to be the glamour element in the
film. Amisha Patel is amazingly fresh and is very
impressive all throughout. |

Goa looks unappealing all
throughout. The cinematographer could have taken some
lessons atleast from any of those ad film
cinematographers.
Boman Irani as a senior Catholic citizen looks
unacceptable with his funny wig. Shabana Azmi is okay with
her bit.
Reema Kagti the debutante director, inspite of having the
backing of Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani could have
made it more colourful and fresh...
The score by Vishal-Shekhar is forgettable, except for the
foot tapping number in the second half.
Recommended for just fun.
