Enough good memorable well-executed moments in the movie, roughly patched together with enough extremely boring moments, leaving you with an overall "So-So" feeling.
OK, get on with your review

Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. is the story of a group of honeymooning couples travelling from Mumbai to Goa on a bus. Its the story of every couple's journey of getting to know each other, and in the process knowing oneself, in a way that only marriage can make you do. The movie is a comedy, and this nirvana comes with hilarious consequences for most of the couples. Be it a guy telling his wife that he is a gay, or a couple finding out that they are superpowered, or a wife running away with her lover midway through the honeymoon, or a guy becoming conservative once he is married, the fun continues. The story drags on at times, but overall its okay.

The chemistry between Nahid (Shabana Azmi) and Oscar (Boman Irani) as a middle-aged couple in their second relationship is very good, and these two wonderful actors leave their mark in the short roles they have. The superpowered couple Aspi (Abhay Deol) and Zara (Minissha Lamba) are shown are ultra-matched couples who think the same thoughts, wear the same dresses and never fight may seem funny or may get on your nerves, depending on your mood. Partho (Kay Kay Menon) and Mili (Raima Sen) give very convincing performances of an insecure middle-class male trying to dominate his wife by keeping her in the bounds of conservative behaviour.

Overall, some very good performances leading to some good moments in the film. Watchable.
