More news →Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. - Another winner from Vishal Shekhar
Come November and we should have a series of music albums hitting the stands again after a rather low profile October where one had to be content with 'Apna Sapna Money Money' and 'Dhoom 2', both composed by Pritam. One of those new albums that is expected to make a mark is Vishal Shekhar's 'Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.' It has been a while since one last heard from the composer duo but things should change starting November when 'Honeymoon' turns out to be the first in the series of high profile projects that they have in their kitty. As per the composers, "The music in the film is dictated so much by the characters and each time a song comes up, you are forced to realize that it is due to a situational placement. There is a lot of variety that you would hear there. There is one folksy club song which is really HUGE! Then there is one love song that goes completely filmy. A lovely pop-rock kind of song also finds a place in the album while one track is solely about a journey. Apart from this there are some more. Another special attraction is Shankar Mahadevan singing for us. Believe us, there was so much of fun while composing the musical score of 'Honeymoon' and we thoroughly loved the outing." Waiting for this one to hit the stands Vishal and Shekhar!

'Honeymoon Travels' - Some quick bytes
Reema Kagti's debut vehicle Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. is a film about six newly married couples who are on an organized package honeymoon to Goa. The film is woven around the six couples, a guide, a driver and a handyman riding in a bus from Bombay to Goa. The narrative humorously unfolds different stories that explore the nature of love and human relationships. The film is a quirky bittersweet comedy on love and marriage that ends on a simple truth; that honest intimate relationships are a solace in a difficult world. A film by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, 'Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.' boasts of a huge starcast in the form of Abhay Deol, Minissha Lamba, Shabana Azmi, Boman Irani, Kay Kay Menon, Raima Sen, Amisha Patel, Karan Khanna, Sandhya Mridul, Vikram Chatwal, Ranvir Shorey and Dia Mirza.
Controversial Honeymoon
Controversy after controversy is surrounding Reema Kagti's film. Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd has barely started but the controversies surrounding it have always been there. After controversies about John Abraham quitting the film, the most recent one that came out was that about the storyline of the film being similar to that of Nikhil Advani's Salaam e Ishq. The story it seems was narrated to Nikhil before Farhaan agreed to do it. Now it is Shilpa Shetty walking out of the film. While Arjun Rampal replaced John, Dia Mirza has stepped into Shilpa's shoes. Shilpa was too keen on working with John. So much so that she even quit the film. She denies having any bad blood with the producers or the director. It is only her unfulfilled wish of working opposite hottie superstar John Abraham that made her quit the film. Anyway the film is on a month and a half long schedule in Goa and is going great with a star cast that includes Shabana Azmi, Boman Irani, Abhay Deol, Arjun Rampal, Dia Mirza, Sandhya Mridul , Vikram Chatwal, Raima Sen and others.
Are honeymoon packages for real in India?
Producer Ritesh Sidhwani was at the Berlin Film Festival some days back where his smash hit "Don" was screened to packed houses and an overwhelming response. Unfortunately, director Farhan Akhtar could not make it, as he was down with flu in Mumbai. During the Q&A round post the screening, Ritesh received several congratulatory messages from the audience, who also expressed excitement about his forthcoming production, "Honeymoon Travels...", which is out on February 23. Someone actually asked him if there were honeymoon packages available in India! "That was such a hilarious question!" laughs Ritesh.
Diya runs away in Honeymoon Travel Pvt. Ltd.
Guess who is running away in Reema Kagti's debut film HONEYMOON TRAVEL PVT. LTD.? It's none other than Diya Mirza who is the better half of one of the couples who comes for a honeymoon in the film! She revealed the secret about her story when she mentioned that while she is married to Ranvir Shorey and arrives for her honeymoon, she instead runs with; guess what, Arjun Rampal, who does a special appearance in the film. The film is progressing fast inspite of a massive starcast of Abhay Deol, Minissha, Shabana Azmi, Boman Irani, Amisha Patel, Raima Sen, Kay Kay Menon, Sandhya Mridul, Vikram Chatwal and Karan Khanna!
