2007 Directed by Reema Kagti
Six newly-married, diverse, honeymooning couples face marital bliss and discord, finding out more about themselves, their significant others and life in this happy-go-lucky, quirky drama.
Lighthearted, sort of fun, and a lot of Goa. Shoutout to a pretty neat casting. Even a super-bubbly Ameesha Patel felt in character and couldn't irritate me.
Felt a bit dated and on the verge of progressiveness.
I don't know if I'm too cynical or too optimistic to understand this movie. I'm just going to leave it at "not one of Reema Kagti's better works."
Reema Kagti isn't much of a filmmaker, but she, sure, can write well rounded complex characters. Most of the film is downright stupid, but there are few noteworthy moments as far as the writing is concerned.

Reema Kagti’s debut film is a charming ensemble piece following six couples on honeymoon in Goa. I watched it because one of the six wives is Raima Sen, the granddaughter of Suchitra Sen, a major figure in Bengali cinema. Raima’s sister Riya Sen has parlayed this legacy into some successful mainstream roles and a modelling career, but Raima’s work is more unpredictable. She specialises in involved, immersive character work, often unselfconsciously taking a secondary role to a bigger star - Amitabh Bachchan in Eklavya: The Royal Guard, Aishwarya Rai in Chokher Bali, Shabana Azmi in Godmother.
Azmi, a great realist actress who I watched in last…
My memory of watching this in a theatre is my mom telling me to look away at some point. Can’t figure out why she would have suggested that; the sex was only really implied.
Ahead of its time for how it handled queerness (and even when) but what was the point of the movie? There is no real conflict or resolution — it lingers on and explores ideas and then just ends. Great character study I suppose? But wish there was more meat.

Ugh, watched this after 11 years...
My god it has aged badly. Some of the plot is just absurd and the rest melodramatic as hell. Doesn't help that only four (Kay Kay Menon, Raima Sen, Boman Irani and Shabana Azmi) of the cast members actually decently act. This movie is the EPITOME of background noise for when you're bored but don't want to pay attention.
