Ponytails - Ringtones - Punches. Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd

again chance coincidences between themes in the films i saw back to back two days ago. in this case same sex love and societal repression. perhaps that was not meant to be the main theme in pankajs film on women boxing or even in the sweet romantic comedy ‘honeymoon travels pvt ltd’ but they did end up being major threads in both. but it cant be just my own reading. in the boxing film the sport did take a back seat to the girl child/ boy child drama of one girl and the tension filled lesbian romantic relationship in small town india of the other one. and constantly, perhaps too often the annoying sounds of ring tones form the background noise. in ‘honeymoon travels’ the case for happiness through loving the one you want rather than the one whom you are with was a theme that ran throughout especially when an nri gay man marries sandhya mridul for cover. meanwhile in another relationship ameesha patels macho husband is traumatised because he is madly attracted to another man. but besides all these convoluted dramas there was shabana azmi and an adorable bomab irani as an elderly couple in love stealing the show.
