Anything Under the Sun!!!

Watching this movie was a co-incidence; had gone to watch “Honeymoon Travels” but got tickets for this movie and ended up enjoying it.

“Just Married” was definitely a better choice. Though both the movies revolve around the same theme, marriage, the treatment has been different. All about a couple brought together not by fate, but by parents. Quite a true depiction of strangers thrown together by marriage. It’s about how love blossoms between them after marriage (which is quite obvious by the trailers).

Fardeen has finally learnt to act. He’s been more than the chocolate hero in this movie (could be also because he’s put on a bit of weight). For a change even Esha’s good. A slimmer Esha, with minimal make-up; she comes as a bit of a surprise. The other couples are cute too. Perizad Zorabian with Bikram Saluja (the most perfect, “in love” couple of the lot), Sadia Siddique and Mukul Dev (Sadia who’s completely in love with Mukul but Mukul’s confused), Kirron Kher and Satish Shah (the senior citizens) and Raj Zutshi and Tarina Patel (the “unmarried couple”). But they only support the story and help Abhay (Fardeen) and Ritika (Esha) to come closer.

Meghna Gulzar has come up with a refreshing movie, after such a long gap. Though its devoid of any high-tension drama, its still enjoyable (so those who love Karan Johar-Yash Chopra kind of movies would be terribly disappointed and would not agree with me). It’s for those who want to see a serious theme put in a very subtle and light way.

For me arranged marriages are beyond imagination so watching this movie was worthwhile (though I still stick to my decision of not going for a complete arranged marriage). A must-see for those who have decided to take the plunge the parental way, and also for those who are sailing or drowning in it (as applicable!!!).
