This movie is a must watch - one of the better comedies of recent times. It subtly touches upon a number of different aspects of a new marriage - the initial romance, the song and dance, the irritations. It also tackles some off-track things - like a pre-marriage affair, an old-age couple and even a super-hero couple! :-)
The most interesting part in the movie - the story of each person and each couple is woven into the movie as part of a narration on a Radio show playing on the bus carrying these couples to their honeymoon!! Though there are so many couples, each couple has their own space in the movie - they all have a role to play. That is where the story really scores.
The movie also touches upon and carries off some very out-of-the-ordinary ideas and the handling is very sensitive but the touch of comedy is retained. One example is the way one couple handles the guy being gay (I wont tell which one!), whereas another couple does not even acknowledge anything and undergoes a lot of frustration in the process. Also, the way the elderly couple handles the situation in their children's life.
The tango by Abhay and Minnisha on "Pyaar ki ek kahani suno" is wonderful. I didnt know anyone in the Deol boy-clan could dance like that! Also, the lyrics of the "Sajna ji" song are soo ridiculous but adorable, they just had me rolling on the floor with laughter. I just had to mention this song here...
Sajna ji vari vari jaoon ji main..
Sajna ji vari vari jaoon ji main..
tu hi to mera sansaar hai..
aisa mera pyaar hai...
charnon mein jo na jagah paoon ji main..
charnon mein jo na jagah paoon ji main..
jeena hi mera bekar hai..
aisa mera pyaar hai..
Bottomline - go and watch the movie. Its fun. :-)

What a waste review for such a nice movie.. disgusting!
Well...
Borrowing the earlier commenter's line.
What a nice review for such a waste movie...disgusting!!!
Had seen the movie first, and then the review....simply felt it was an utterly forgetable movie...school boy idea's...thankful for the interval and the ending that did happen.
Imagine, a day, when you sit in one of these movies or concerts...Manirathnam's...or Jagjit...or Zakir.....and they simply decide to go on & on......
Thank God....therz something called...'THE End'
;-)
