The express looses steam half waySome couple’s on a honeymoon, traveling in a bus… the director Reema Kagti wants to point out quite a few facts through this movie… like age doesn’t bar love and marriage, like letting yourself free… and there is lots of humour through out the journey…
The film starts with the beginning of the journey. The couples: Ranvir shorey and Diya Mirza; Boman Irani and Shabana Azmi; Kay Kay and Raima Sen; Abhay Deol and Minisha Lamba; and Amisha Patel and Karan Khanna; and Sandhya Mridul and Vikram Chatwal. All with separate stories… told in chapters in the film. And done in quite an interesting way. Well, at least till the interval. But then onwards… it’s a drag. The humour isn’t working.
The problem I guess is – like every other great journey from which you don’t like returning – the director film fails to move towards an end. Result: Not a very good film.
Technique-wise, the film is a good one. But you need a good story too. That’s the most important factor of a film after all!
The performances are good. Kay Kay is awesome. Shabana Azmi is splendid and so is Boman Irani. Others chip in with measured stuff.
A bright romantic comedy… and a one-time watch!

The very central idea of the movie i think is flawed...i mean if they'd taken a college students trip even wudve been fun, but couples on honeymoon??i don think so...but the best journey in a movie has to b mr n mrs iyer...it is a journey to remember...
