kumar taurani , managing director of tips industries ltd , is not averse to big names but agrees that the script plays a pivotal role in the success of a film .
this is a story of six newly wed couples who go on a subsidized honeymoon trip together . the story unfolds the seven different stories of love and human relationships during their journey .
before , and i have to say , honeymoon travels has a definite
close but not cigar
moment with this . the gay storyline is nothing amazing , but it ' s pretty believable and not all that badly written . the problem ? the actors involved absolutely suck . i mean , goodness gracious . okay , in a cast with boman , kay kay and shabana , it ' s not easy to come out on top , but when ameesha patel and even diya mirza out - act you , you ' re not cut out for the job .
six couples travel to goa for a group trip honeymoon . the couples are all young , with the exception of naheed ( shabana azmi ) and oscar ( boman irani ) , who are in the
second inning
( wahey cricket terminology ! ) of their lives .
story six newly married couples are on their honeymoon to goa . exciting & cheerful , this vacation is a subsidized option for a lot of dreamers on the brink of their new life . the film is woven around these couples , a guide , a driver & a handyman riding in a bus from bombay to goa .
but this cleverness doesnât help when azmi cries in the shower â you donât know why until you see her back - story â or when a gay angle crops up or when a wayward daughter appears out of nowhere or when you see that , after marriage , things seem to have changed between kay kay menon and raima sen . the minute the script turns serious , honeymoon falls flat . ( maybe they should have taken a hint from one of the songs and kept things… halke halke . ) the huge ( and very appealing ) cast makes sure that the film is never less than watchable , but thatâs about all honeymoon is . azmi and irani get a moving moment when they are asked how they got together and they string up some wild take about being in planes flying near one another and floating down in a parachute . ( theyâve been brought together by a tragic series of events , and they understandably have no wish to share all of this with a complete stranger , and so they invent this fantasy . ) the scene is played for a laugh , but thereâs also romance in the air , thanks to the soaring french music in the background . for a minute here , the film stops trying to be clever , which is probably why the emotion comes across so strongly . sometimes , love stories are better made from the heart rather than the head .
the first half of this movie is really funny . acting is super . i had a few problems with the characterisation . would have been better , if there wasn ' t a forced story for every couple .
the first half is hil - larious ! there are really funny lines and situations in the second half too , but the compulsion to have a story breaks the flow . nevertheless , all the laughs were the perfect medicine for my horrible cold . yeah - yeah , i know my illness was not on their mind when they were making the movie , just thought i’d let you know because i felt like it . just like , the writer threw in special effects , or her stand on social issues .
comedies like these bring out the dependencies between the dialogues and the comic timing . the great performances wouldn’t mean anything without the witty lines . and as always , funny lines cannot tickle you if they are not delivered right . someone please tell me , why don’t real radio jockeys speak this sensibly ? it’s the serious parts ( mostly in the first half hour after interval ) where things drag . they do not gel with the general tone at all . the side - side story of the driver is out of place too . and the preachy tone in the end – why ? why ? ? why ? ? ? also , why does the screenplay slacken in the second half .
acting by one and all is exactly what their characters demand . yes , even amisha patel ! when i first heard that she was playing a loud character , i was dreading the time i would see this movie . but , her restraint comes as a pleasant surprise . there are too many artistes to name them all here , but everyone has done their roles full justice . and so have the costumes of at least some of the people . i was really kicked by how the geek was almost always dressed in a solid - colored collared t - shirt .
most of the characters and their idiosyncrasies were dealt a fair hand . i especially liked how the sexual orientation of some of the characters was handled sans the usual snickers associated with such issues in hindi movies . a whole range of honeymooners is covered here , from the chauvinist who is more interested in photography than his wife to the couple who had no use for a camera , from the arranged marriage to the love marriages . while most characters are consistent , there are a few that leave you with questions . since , discussing these would give out a little more than i like , check out the details section ( spoilers there ! ) .
the songs look better than they sound . they are the kind that grow on you because you have seen them . the choreography of “pyar ki ek kahaani” is absolutely breathtaking .
this movie has a very hrishikesh mukherjee feel to it . and that says a lot coming from a huge hrishi - da fan . this is certainly the kind of light movie we needed after a series of serious movies we have seen in the last four weeks . if only , reema kagti had not worried so much about trying to squeeze in an actual story for every couple .

will take you to an external website that could contain spoilers .
. . . nonethless reema kagti ' s first directorial venture does manage to make a mark as an above average film which is fairly entertaining . . .
. . . sans a single dull moment , the dialogues by anurag kashyap too keep the momentum going . . .
. . . it won’t reveal the meaning of life , but it’s a fun escape . . .
. . . kudos to the director for leaving no loopholes as far as groping for identification of characters is concerned . . .
. . . debutante director reema kagti manages what nikhil advani could not in his six - couples romantic film , salaam - e - ishq . . .
. . . the film spends a lot of time spoofing hindi film conventions . . .
. . . the story tells about the contrasts and colors of a married relationship and puts the couples in different scenarios and backdrops . . .
. . . the screenplay is intelligently innovative though at instances it even resorts to some cinematic clichés . . .
. . . my thought process is broken by a huge laughter wave that starts from the front row . . . they are enjoying every scene of the film . . . .
. . . everything goes well in the first half , infact first half was simply superb , hilarious . . .
. . . i think the director started off on the right note but didn ' t know how to tie it all up . . . .
. . . but after the introductions , and a few predictable twists in the middle , the story just does not move forward . . . .
. . . it only tries to put its foot in many shoes at the same time . . .
. . . this film must have looked way more appealing in the script than it ever manages to do during its entire running time . . .
. . . the director can ' t seem to decide whether she wants the film to be slice of life reality or comic book absurd . . .
this page has additional observations , other than the ones noted in the main review .
warning : this section has some details that could distort your experience while watching the movie . i strongly recommend reading this only after you have seen the movie or if you have decided not to see it .
radio mirchi ' s announcer - since it is laced with good dialogue , it doesn ' t annoy like most product placement does .
the situation in which aspi ( abhay deol ) and zara ( minissha lamba ) meet . the way it is narrated is very comical .
the whole nahid ( shabana azmi ) - oscar ( boman irani ) track . it was a
sooo sweeeet
realtionship .
the scene in which partho ( kay kay menon ) gets drunk . real and funny .
pinky ( amisha patel ) and her annoying blabber - mouth . and the reactions people listening to her had . some of her lines kept me in splits for some time after the movie was over .
note : this section simply lists the things that i did not like in this movie . this is not the overall impression about this movie . please read the full review here
just because this list is long doesn ' t mean i have to hate the movie . my overall rating indicates the general feeling i have while leaving the theatre . there can still be things that i did not like .
the character inconsistency in madhu ' s character played by sandhya mridul . what exactly made her change from a simple girl - next - door to a girl who dresses and behaves liberally ? also why exactly did she not want a divorce , what was in it for her ?
also partho and milly ( raima sen ) somehow don ' t seem real . if partho is conservative he could never have let milly get away with whatever she was doing . and if milly was really so free - spirited , she could never have been dominated . i won ' t talk about how . i don ' t think they could be attracted to each other given their base characters because what attracts one person to the other is i think not definable . ok , enough philosophy !
the stand on why women should not be forced to wear a sari and how it is okay to elope when you are in love . this was not the right forum .
the driver ' s dark character . please don ' t tell me his character existed only so nahid ( shabana azmi ) could give a speech .
shilpa ' s ( dia mirza ) reappearance - absolutely unnecessary . again , i suspect it was to drill in the point that lovers should not be forced apart .
this section lists things that i think are not important to the overall impact of the movie . in most cases , it could be explained away by something like ,
we noticed the glitch after the scene was shot and there were schedule / budget issues and thus we could not re - shoot it
. i like giving the makers the benefit of doubt , but i am amused nevertheless . hopefully , they will tickle you too .
mehak , i loved the part that it had no particular story in mind . in fact , i did not like the bit where they tried to put a story in forcibly for each couple . addi , yeah , the climax was a let down considering they kept it lively throughout the movie . oh well . . .

abhay deol and minissha lamba became very good friends during the shoot of . there were rumors that he had a crush on her , but both of them dismissed the allegation laughingly . but abhay admitted ,
minissha is such a lightweight that made it easier for me to do the tango song ( pyaar ki ek kahani . . . ) with her in the film .

button at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .
there ' s oscar and nahid ( boman irani and shabana azmi ) , the senior citizens in the sextet , both married for the second time and the ones with the most gravitas . there ' s the delhi couple of pinky and vicky ( amisha patel and karan khanna ) where she ' s the talkative north indian girl who believes her life is a fairy tale while her husband harbours a secret that makes the trip a chore for him .
partho and milly ( kay kay menon and raima sen ) are the bengali couple where he is the tightly wound husband and she is his aching - to - be - free - spirited wife . hitesh and shilpa ( ranvir shorey and dia mirza ) are a couple from surat , theirs is an arranged marriage and she will not let him get anywhere near her when they are alone .
aspi and zara ( abhay deol and minissha lamba ) are the unbelievably happy parsi couple who have known each other 16 years and never had so much as a disagreement . and finally , there ' s bunty and madhu ( vikram chatwal and sandhya mridul ) playing the expat and his new brideā - - the circumstances of their meeting and marrying are unconventional , to say the least , so naturally both have secrets from each other . add to this the mysterious man on a motorcycle who is trailing the bus on its journey from mumbai to goa and this seems like a film with the promise of a lot of fun and entertainment , right ?
this film must have looked way more appealing in the script than it ever manages to do during its entire running time . most of the above - stated characteristics of the couples are pretty much the only characteristics exhibited during the entire film . no major character development is achieved that could help the audience fall in love with any of them .
the secrets , as and when they are revealed , do very little to further the plot or the action . everything happens , nothing evolves . there is a fantasy element to one of the couple ' s stories that comes off as so far - fetched that it makes the whole exercise laughable rather than genuinely funny . with the marked exception of kay kay , none of the other cast members are playing against type and it shows in the fact that the audience will be left feeling like they ' ve seen it all before , and done better .
the pacing of the film as well as the delivery of the multi - strand storyline seems to have been developed along the ' oh we haven ' t seen that couple in so many minutes so let ' s drop in one of their sequences here ' line of reasoning . even the setting , goa , is made to look as unappealing as it did in bride & prejudice .
beyond giving various characters phrases to define their ethnicity , little has been done to authentically place them in the skin of their characters . neither deol nor lamba come off as parsi , patel does not feel punjabi , neither shorey nor mirza are convincing as gujaratis and the less said about irani ' s senior catholic citizen the better ( in fact it would be wonderful to have to watch a film where the man is not required to emote in a bad wig ) .
as a debutante it must be wonderful for director reema kagti to have the backing of major industry players like farhan akhtar and ritesh sidhwani . nothing about the film serves as proof of that faith .
the score by vishal - shekhar is forgettable , the surprise cameo is neither surprising nor welcome and the movie ends as it began .

i love a good film with a big cast , but it ' s often sad to admit that the bigger the gallery of characters , the tougher it is to keep the film solid in every aspect . i liked
but there were definitely problems with some of the characters not getting their story properly told , or some characters feeling a bit redundant . with
, you can see a lot of care was put into the script and the story , making all of the couples stand out in their own way , their stories told very neatly . unfortunately , some of the performances are lacking .
not all couples are happily in love . hitesh ( ranvir shorey ) and shilpa ( diya mirza ) were arranged , and especially shilpa has a tough time adjusting to married life .
others couldn ' t be happier , like partho ( kay kay menon ) and milly ( raima sen ) , a more traditional couple , or . . .
. . the absolute adorable aspi ( abhay deol ) and zara ( minissha lamba ) , who are in harmony with one another to the point of the absurd .
it took me a long while to watch this movie . i always meant to , as it looked like a servicable little film , the cast was interesting enough ( no huge favourites but people i always enjoy seeing more of ) , and
. when i finally watched it , i was glad . it ' s definitely a lovely film , flaws and all . it has those edges of realism , and of fantasy , and overall it ' s a fluffy , yet grounded film about love . sometimes i have a hard time pinning down what a director was attempting to do with a film - here , i think i completely understood director reema kagti ' s vision ( yes , female director ; not something you see every day ) .
the soundtrack is nothing too memorable but very nice all the same , and i really warmed toward some of the characters . they all get their story told , and i really appreciated that . in fact , i was disappointed when the film ended . i would ' ve gladly watched about 30 , 40 or even 50 minutes of their escapades in love and life .
yes , ameesha is actually good in this . she plays the bubbly , spoiled , oblivious pinky to perfection , actually making the character very likable .
but watching this movie , and this dreadfully acted gay storyline , i couldn ' t help but wonder if it was a simple case of stigma being too great to get somebody of actual talent . like the moment you mention that the role is not 100 % heterosexual , the pool of talent slims down to almost nothing , you take your pick , and end up with nothing as good as you might ' ve hoped .
my favourite couple is without a doubt partho and milly , because their journey is interesting and heart - warming , and because i unabashedly girlcrush raima sen . the other stand - outs are naheed and oscar ( with her teaching him urdu , and their memorable backstory ) and aspi and zara ( with their cutesyness and secrets ) .
would i recommend it ? absolutely . it ' s fluff , but it ' s also a bit more , and i ' m willing to forgive its flaws for the sheer watchability . sometimes the films you find yourself wanting to rewatch are far , far from perfect . this is one of those cases .
this was such a perfect ensemble piece and all the characters were fairly believable stereotypes . like you , my favorite couple was partha and mili . they were such a realistic couple , and reminded me so much of some of my own friends ! and of course shabana and boman irani were great , though the same cant be said of boman ' s wig .
when ameesha patel and even diya mirza out - act you
unfair to diya mirza ! i thought she was pretty good in dus kahaniyan and tehzeeb .
my apologies ! i clearly haven ' t seen very much with diya , but the little i ' ve seen were just kind of . . blah . no , wait , actually i quite liked her in lage raho munnabhai . what ' s with my judgmentalness these days ? oh dear . aww , boman ' s wig . i agree , not a good decision . he looks quite fine without it .
a hindi movie buff from finland nice ! me myself discovered hindi film with a little help from cheap airfare from finnair . how did you happen to come across the wonderfull world of song and dance when living so far away from the holy ganga or anything else hindi related ? dink from denmark
btw considering you taste in movies you should watch
sorry bhai
. i couldn ' t find it on your review list and i think you would like it .
ohhh , it ' s been so long since i ' ve seen this movie , but i remember having a very similar reaction as you did . i thought it was sweet , cute , fluffy and not half - bad , but i thought it ended a little too abruptly for my liking . obviously all of the stories weren ' t going to be tied up in a nice little package . . . but i wanted just a bit more ! i should give it a re - watch sometime soon . : )
dink - long version here : urltoken short version : music class in senior high school . thanks for the rec ! anita - it ' s pretty rare that i feel like an indian movie ends too soon but this was definitely one of those cases .
i really liked this film . and i found that statement more unfair to amisha , she is very underrated as an actress . she has delivered some flawed performances but she has also given solid performances in films such as gadar , humraaz , and ankahee ( which i beleive is her most understated performance to date ) . i wish she gets to do something beyond that , i find her face very beautiful and amongst one of the most beautiful that has graced in bollywood . other girls i find beautiful are rani mukerji , kareena kapoor and dia mirza . don ' t really bother about the rest , most of them are plastic .

i loved this movie , the bad acting , the weird plot twists , the terrible english spoken in such plummy accents and the dancing and music is just brilliant ! ! good for a girls night in .
a movie that had to be made better . . . spoiled as a typical bollywood movie . . .
i didn ' t hate the movie that ' s for sure i even bought a copy of it ( on sale of course ) . it ' s a simple movie , exploring every possible disastrous relationship with a twisted fun . it ' s actually kinda cute in a very silly way . : )
this is one of my most favourite movies , because in recent times i haven ' t seen such well defined characters . i love it - and its not just a funny movie - its a really really good script . the director ( reema ) has portrayed the characters in such a great way . . each story has something special abt it and ( almost all ) the performances are great . . it is one of the most enoyable movies i have ever seen . . always puts a grin on my face
an interesting concept , , but i wish the end product cud ve been more interesting , , yes it addresses a few imp things but doesnt hold much to keep the audience glued , , inconsistent at times .
reema kagti ( director ) , please dont make your second movie . . . . get a new vocation . . . . puhleezz
this flick is easliy one of the best movies made for the lighthearted viewer . a very low - budget movie , considering there are nobig stars and no big sets involved , its a through and through comic act with its own share of emotional moments . boman and shabana rock as the old age couple , and sandhya mridul and minishha lamba were presented quite nicely ! overall , a great entertaining watch !
saw a bit . . abhay deol was like ssshhhiitt . . .
never seen before
type of film , sure it has couples , but it delves into the strengths and weaknesses of these relations , where as other multi - starers such as salaam - e - ishq only focused only on the problems of each character throughout the movie and made sure that in the end love conquered all
the script is another of
no smoking
director anurag kashyap ' s postmodern hotchpotches , full of baffling diversions ( two of the characters turn out to have superpowers ) , dead - ends ( the couple in the arranged marriage - the film ' s sole source of dramatic conflict - disappear after a half - hour , and the unifying idea of the coach trip shortly thereafter ) and signs of evident desperation in the scene where the male half of the square couple ( kay kay menon ) unknowingly ingests hallucinogenics .
two songs are superlative but otherwise movie is bad and pretentious . a few good moments . boman irani is one of them - he rarely if at all disappoints . the script attempts something different but loses its way in many places . some threads go nowhere . the tango song pyar ki ik kahani is one element of this song that aims to be different from typical bollywood and succeeds resoundingly . it is composed , sung and danced on with panache . world class . the vari vari song exudes an infectious energy . in both javed akhtar reiterates his position as a true songwriter of class . cant fault any of the actors or director . screenplay was conceived out of inspiration but looks like completed without it . its worth a watch but dont kill yourself getting to it . if you do get around to seeing it , the two songs and a few stray moments will make it worth it .
pretty entertaining and quirky take on relationships . i liked how all ( well , most of ) the characters were so free - spirited . it ' s a fun date flick .
i couldn ' t understand 95 % of the words they said but the movie was pretty entertaining and easy to follow .
a fun movie following a bunch of package - tour honeymooners . some bad acting is made up for by some serious subject matter . jovial and off - the - wall with a dark edge .
not bad , something different from the usual predictable bolly fare . some really believable acting . would recommend it , even if arjun rampal wasn ' t in it : )

a lot of these young ideas do work . i loved the cheeky cut from a full - bladdered ranveer shorey unzipping in front of a urinal to wine being poured out of a bottle . and delhi - ites are probably going to hate the stereotyping , but the filmâs most hilarious creation is the barbie doll - incarnate from the capital city , played by amisha patel . ( sheâs dressed perpetually in bubblegum pink and she calls her husband âlollypopâ ? . ) the abhay deol - minissha lamba track too works wonderfully . ( they look so wholesome and freshly scrubbed , itâs as if weâre watching a pair of the bobbsey twins all grown up . ) thereâs a scene where he puckers his lips and blows lightly at her , and flowers from an overhead branch drop down on her ; itâs only later that you see the reason this happens , and that revelation is kagtiâs sweetest , nuttiest conceit . theyâre made for each other , these two , and when weâre shown their flashback , tum aa gaye ho plays in the background . thatâs a running gag , that each of these couples gets a flashback underlined by one old film song that best sums up the situation . the only exception is in the story of shabana azmi and boman irani , who marry late , and the song that they get is part of their present , not their past . theirs is a strange tale , and what better number to highlight this than ajeeb dastaan hai yeh â sung on a boat no less ! ( a big salute to kagti for acknowledging these tracks â and their composers / songwriters â during the closing credits . )
ah ! after all the heavy - duty discussions following ns , oso , and slb , we pick up the “light romance” thread where we left off — at jwm . i think the “transportational” transition is spot on — from a railroad romance , we cruise lightly into romance on four wheels !
such silly observations aside , “that one - dimensional chauvinist - pig of a fiancé”…you mean that perfectionist guy who rolled off the bmw assembly - line ? ok , ok , i’ll stop . 🙂
i haven’t seen this one yet , but going back to heavy - dutiness for a second , “ . . we’re actually asked to swallow a big , fact lecture about , yes , the nature of love” reminded me of a similar heavy - dutiness you’d cringed over in an earlier review : om puri in mangal pandey “threaten [ ing ] to transform the film from historical fiction to the history channel . ”
now , mangal ostensibly wasn’t “light” in any way , shape , or form ( ok , except factual accuracy ) , so let’s put it aside for a moment as we pick up where we left off , with “light romances” . i too have often wondered — given the audience’s collective readiness to lap up light romances , formula and all — why wind them down with such “clever” heavy - dutiness ? so i’m right on board the bus with you to mandate ( oh if only we could ! ) that all moviemakers treat eschewing such make - you - fall - flat - on - your - face - just - as - you’re - merrily - cruising - along heavy - dutiness as the sine qua non of light romances .
> > ”sometimes , love stories are better made from the heart rather than the head . ” touche !
p . s : > > ”they’ve been brought together by a tragic series of events , and they understandably have no wish to share all of this with a complete stranger , and so they invent this fantasy . ” it’s the kind of stuff that , to me , makes formulaic light romances ring true . a movie that this reference promptly dredged up from long - term memory is “rhythm” ( the vasanth flick from 2000 with some to - die - for tunes by ar rahman ) . that movie is the antithesis to the “bogus moment” you refer to in mangal ( and , by extension , most movie romances ) : “they’ve had one song , two bits of dialogue – suddenly they’re soul mates ! ”

just before her film ' s release , zoya talks to komal mehta about the film , her writing and future plans for their production house , excel .
why did you decide to produce the movie instead of directing it ? firstly , because i ' ve known reema for sometime . she has also worked with farhan . she is my best friend and i ' ve been with her on this movie since the scripting stage . so it was a good script and we decided to produce it . also i ' ve never really directed anything myself .
was it tough handling such a large cast ? no it wasn ' t . actually , managing huge starcasts is always tough , but we were very lucky that we didn ' t really have any problems . we had the coolest cast , who were happy to be with each other . i think everyone knew it was a small film and didn ' t really have issues of any sort . they were all like a part of the crew .
what is the worst part about being the producer of a movie ? well , it ' s a thankless job . no matter how many things / problems you solve there are more just waiting to be addressed . also ours is a low budget film , and we didn ' t really have money to throw at a problem , so it was tough .

the ministry hopes to use the satte platform as a litmus test to see how the wonderful indonesia campaign is received by the travel and tourism business community , which will pave the way for more indian tourists heading towards the southeast asian nation .
movin ' on up ! from original ensemble member to fiyero on the road , derrick williams now assumes wicked ' s romantic lead on broadway . off stage , wooing is reserved for wife , julia .
a . inexperienced men think there is something wonderful you can get from a woman that you never could get from a man . hence many unhappy marriages .
the most wonderful thing about this city is the people ,
she said .
we have a community that has always been very willing to help out in any situation . cuero is very giving and loving .
this wonderful ring , which every ninth night drops eight other rings as rich as itself , shall be yours ,
said skirner , holding draupner in his hand and gently urging her .
a . the marco polo man ! the milkman ! the postman ! the muffin man ! the marco polo man ! some frustrated poet , earning his crust by quoting scraps of verse to bring the call of the east to dreaming telephone girls .
madame d dies and leaves a priceless stolen renaissance painting (
boy with apple
) to fiennes , and that ' s when the real fun starts . her family accuses the concierge of murder ; he is imprisoned and then escapes , which leads to chases and such . fiennes never loses his smirking bravado as he barks orders to the youthful zero , something of the hero of the piece as he slowly sheds his shyness and assumes control of the situation while wooing the town ' s teen - age baker . the real friendship between the concierge and the boy is the crux of the movie . my huffington readers may recall my recent rave review of fiennes as the dynamic charles dickens in the invisible woman . here , he even exceeds that .

frey was too glad to get the desire of his heart to delay about giving up the horse and the sword , and skirner was soon mounted and riding like the wind on his dreary journey . night came on , the black shadows of the mountains lay across the fjords as he passed , and one by one the endless procession of the stars moved along the summits of the hills as if they would bear him company . all night the hard hoofs rang on the stony way , scattering showers of sparks at every step . faster and faster the daring rider drove the faithful horse until [ 60 ] his flight was like the flash and roar of the thunderbolt .
everybody knows george bernard shaw’s famous retort when isadora duncan suggested that – with her wonderful body and his great brain – they should have a child together : “yes , ” he replied , “but suppose it had my body and your brain . ”
she added that the residents of the town are ready to welcome filmmakers as well .
a . you mean that the steward is coming round with the soup at last .
a . the same thing . marriage is the village form of all these adventures .
skirner ' s voice rang clear and strong above the howling of the dogs , and gerd in her chamber heard the brave words .
sara post - meyer said .
it begins , of course , with our quintessential texas downtown historic district . there are wonderful buildings from the 1880s and 1890s . then , within 10 minutes you can get to beautiful countryside locations , ranches and farms , oil drilling sites and the guadalupe river . whatever you need to film you can do it here .
fox searchlight may have its work cut out for it to reach the sophisticated audience which will truly relish this filmic extravaganza , but coming off the success of their 12 years a slave , i am confident they can pull it off . i can only urge my huffington readers to rush pell - mell to a nearby theatre to have a truly wonderful cinematic experience .
z . thanks very much . shall i put the rest of the order into it ?
a . you need not point the information at me . i am not the criminal .
z . oh , well , perhaps you wouldnt think it very wonderful . but it was a regular treat for me . you may think because i am well dressed and travelling de lucks and all that , that i am an educated lady . but i ' m not .
a . within the last fortnight you have inspected the priceless antiquities of naples , athens , egypt , and the holy land . please occupy your mind with them until the soup comes .
z . oh , what a thing to say ! i never could bring myself to believe that . i know , of course , that men have their weaknesses and their tempers ; but all the same there is something wonderful you can get from a man that you never could get from a woman . dont you think so ?
a . i feel perfectly well , thank you . and i loathe deck games , especially deck quoits . the slapping of those silly things on the deck destroys the quiet of the ship .
a . operators dont dream . girls ! girls of the golden west . did that poor devil never bring you the call of the east ?
z . no ; but i used to sing a song called the honeysuckle and the bee .
i have an old friend who grew up in the years before world war ii living in the grand hotels of europe , where his father was a film salesman . he regaled me with tales of his adventures in these fashionable hostelries , with unlimited room service , obliging concierges and lots of raffish characters hanging around the lobbies . i was reminded of this when i watched the wonderful new film by director wes anderson , grand budapest hotel , which opened in los angeles this week . i have been a fan of this director for several years , so i was at the landmark theatre on the first night and intend to see the film again when it plays at the academy theatre .
the days that followed were long enough for frey ; but even the longest day comes to an end , and at last the ninth day came . never sun shone so brightly or south wind blew so musically as on the morning when at bar - isle , under the branches of the great trees , frey found the beautiful gerd waiting for his coming , far lovelier than when she stood before her father ' s door . and the whole earth was happy in them , for while they stood with clasped hands the skies grew soft , the trees put on [ 68 ] a tender green , the flowers blossomed along the mountain side , the ripening grain swayed in the fields , and summer lay warm and fragrant over the land .
a . if a woman snaps me up she must take the consequences . she must assist in the shop . and you will get the sack .
post - meyer said the city is also well versed in the unique needs of a film shoot .
z . oh , you shouldnt trouble the steward now . he ' s busy getting the soup .
the ministry is holding a sales mission event in hyderabad and new delhi , with special focus on promoting “wonderful indonesia” among the indian travel and trade community . in 2016 , the indonesian tourism ministry is targeting 350 , 000 indian tourists , an increase from last year’s 262 , 000 visitors . this seems achievable with the recent regulation allowing indian tourists the facility of visa - free entry in indonesia for 30 days . it is also with this agenda in mind that a special delegation will be part of the annual travel and trade exhibition , satte , being held on january 29 - 30 in new delhi this year .
z . i ' d read about it in novels and seen it on the films . they were all about moony drunkards and sheeks and the sort of girls that go dotty about them . i went right round the world to see the reality . pretty places , of course ; but the heat ! and the mosquitoes ! and the smells ! ! travelling just destroyed the world for me as i imagined it . give me this village all the time .
location scout marissa lovely recently worked in the area - and praised the city for its resources for filmmakers .
the steward appears with the soup and offers it to z who seizes it eagerly ; then to a .
a warrior stands without the [ 62 ] wall ,
she answered ;
and while he waits , his horse eats the grass before the gates .
z . thanks very much . [ she comes out through the counter to get them from the sack ] .
z . the string bag sixpence , chocolates a shilling : one and sixpence . the ginger beer is - -
a . [ rising and waving the balance sheet proudly as he comes through the counter into the public part of the shop ] this is not an accountant ' s balance sheet . it is a robinson crusoe balance sheet .
as a film producer , i have always been intrigued by the 44 - year - old texan ' s systematic way of working , storyboarding the whole film through animatics , gathering the cast in one location to have culinary feasts and keeping the camaraderie going . i have read that he shot the film over 10 weeks in berlin and the small town of gorlitz , germany , on the polish border , and he hired a cook to prepare feasts for the cast and crew assembled in one hotel there . they used an abandoned department store as the interior set for the film .
director of the cuero chamber of commerce sherry esse explained that the city offers a number of amenities for film productions .
when asked why the city is so accommodating to filming , mayor post - meyer said the people wanted to share the home they are so proud of for one simple reason .
z . thanks very much [ she goes back through the counter to cut and weigh the butter and cheese ] .
the wicked day has come to say goodbye to
green
girl shoshanna bean and say hello to eden espinosa , who was the original standby for the part and is getting ready to take over the role . cast members bean , rue mcclanahan , david ayers and original cast member michelle federer took their final bows at the gershwin theatre on january 8 . after the performance , the company headed to the grand hyatt manhattan skylounge for some hugs , laughs and smiles . carol kane , derrick williams and cristy candler were warmly welcomed to the cast . take a look at all the fun the wicked folks ( old and new ) had together !
a . now that you mention it i believe that is true . you were one of the amenities of the estate .
at last the long journey was over and the gloomy house reached . it was the home of the frost - giant gymer , and the beautiful maiden who stood at the door when frey was on odin ' s throne was gerd , the giant ' s daughter . fierce dogs were chained about the gate and rushed savagely upon skirner , barking furiously as if they would tear him limb from limb . so he turned aside and rode up to a shepherd sitting on a mound near by .
z . the americans dont know the difference : they think my telephone talk is aristocratic ; and the english wont speak to anyone anyhow . and lots of them are just like me .
she credited the locals and city staff for her success .
how the officials in a town respond sets the vibe for how everyone else reacts ,
she said .
and the officials in cuero couldn ' t have been more helpful .
post - meyer knows that film productions often need all the help they can get - and the town is happy to assist .
what noise is that ?
she called to her maidens .

a . no : it most certainly is not a bargain . when i entered this shop half an hour ago i had not the faintest notion of buying a village shop or marrying a village maiden or any of the things you have put into my head . have you ever read the fable of the spider and the fly ?
z . the steward will be round with the soup in half an hour . i thought we should have to wait an hour .
z . sorry . theres a leaflet in the church , written by the vicar . you are expected to put tuppence in the box for it . excuse me ; but the chocolates are tuppence , sixpence , and a shilling . which size would you run to ?
a . take care . you may find what you are trying to do easier than you think . about five per cent of the human race consists of positive masterful acquisitive people like you , obsessed with some passion which they must gratify at all hazards . the rest let them have their own way because they have neither the strength nor the courage to resist , or because the things the masterful ones want seem trifling beside the starry heavens and the destiny of man . i am not one of the masterful ones . i am not worth marrying . any woman could marry me if she took trouble enough .

z . i used to read travels and guide books . we used to stock the marco polo series . i was mad about travelling . i had daydreams about the glory that was greece , the grandeur that was rome , and all that flapdoodle .
skirner needed no second invitation , and , quickly springing to the ground , walked through the stony halls and stood before the beautiful gerd . she looked keenly at him for a moment and knew from his brightness and beauty that he was from asgard .
z . not they . i won the first prize in a newspaper competition . my mother wanted me to save it : she said it would help me to get a thrifty husband . my father told me to blue it all in a lump while i had the chance .
you will be poor all your life ,
he said ;
but now you have the chance of living at the rate of five thousand a year for four months . dont miss it ,
he said :
see what it ' s like . have your fling
he said ;
for they never can take that away from you once youve had it .
his idea was a walking tour , spending the nights in the best hotels ; but i chose the ship because it ' s more dressy and more people to look at . besides , i can get all the walking i want round the deck . at the end of the cruise back i go to the village shop without a penny .
life in cuero is the way life ought to be ,
she said .
tap here to turn on desktop notifications to get the news sent straight to you .
a . oh , no harm . quite the contrary . but i feel rushed .
a . [ resolutely ] good morning . [ he makes for the door ] .
z . [ following him with the string bag ] you are forgetting your things .
a . no , to the credit of village shopkeeping as a way of life .
a . [ gravely ] as a matter of fact , she did . i am one of those unlucky men who draw the black chances in the lottery of marriage .
the sun shines every day , but not for me ,
answered frey .
z . it is while the novelty lasts . you see , when youre at home you get tired of doing the same thing every day : the same places ! the same faces ! the same old round . when you get a holiday you go off in a crowded hot excursion train to the seaside and make yourself tired and miserable just because it ' s a change ; and youd do anything for a change . but here it ' s change all the time until you begin to realize what it is to have a settled home and belong somewhere . i shant be sorry to get home to the shop and the telephone . i get such a dreadful lost dog feeling sometimes . other times it seems such a foolish waste of money . and i hate wasting money .
future learning and skills – giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .
a . certainly not . i should have the trouble of opening and shutting it , and the worry of wondering whether it would open or shut , with no compensatory advantage whatever .
z . but if the money goes as fast as it comes you cant save anything .
a . you are inexperienced . you dont know . you are the dupe of thoughtless words like sensuality , sensuousness , and all the rest of the twaddle of the materialists . i am not a materialist : i am a poet ; and i know that to be in your arms will not gratify my senses at all . as a matter of mere physical sensation you will find the bodily contacts to which you are looking forward neither convenient nor decorous .
z . a guide , you mean . theyd take the poetry out of anything ; and all the time youre thinking what you ought to give them . if you fancy empires ' dusts and all that sort of thing you should meet our vicar and start him talking about our standing stones , and the barrows on the downs , and the mound . every grain of our dust , he says , is full of history . same everywhere , i expect .
z . no . all the money i ever had i blued on a trip round the world . but mrs ward is getting too old for the business : she couldnt run it now without me . if you could afford to buy her an annuity she ' d sell it .
a . the clocks were put on half an hour last night . we are going east .
a . i am not here to be made out . you are not here to make people out , but to revel in the enjoyments you have paid for . deck tennis , deck quoits , shuffleboard , golf , squash rackets , the swimming pool , the gymnasium all invite you .
a . when the book is published you can read it to your heart ' s content .
z . same with the women , isnt it ? if you were a woman youd know .
a . i want him to remove my chair to the very furthest extremity of this ship .
z . i cant believe that about the learning . but see how your manners have improved !
z . well , there you are , you see ! the moment i set eyes on you i said to myself ,
now thats the sort of man that would suit me as a husband .
i ' d have said it even if you hadnt been the marco polo man .
z . well , no matter where you are you are doing the same thing all day and every day , arnt you ? the only way to get it off your mind is to live in the same place and stick at the same job . then you never have to think about it . thats the way the people live here ; and they live for ever so long : eighty ' s no age here . grandfather will be a hundred and two in august . thats because he ' s never had to worry about what he ' ll do or where he ' ll go . he just imagines and imagines . it ' s the only way to be happy and longlived .
according to a recent survey by a travel portal , indians are expected to spend more on travel in 2016 . this upswing is triggered by the trend that more and more indians are now looking at international trips over a domestic destination , shows the yatra . com survey . this is probably why the ministry of tourism of indonesia is taking steps to aggressively promote their country in the indian market .
z . well , i am past the age at which girls marry here , though i ' m the pick of this village . thats because i thought all my offers over . so i have made up my mind to take the next man that asks me , provided he ' s reasonably suitable .
z . not me , thank you . all i want is a husband and the usual consequences .

as ever with shaw , arguments on the politics of marriage can be propounded at bludgeoning length and gaynor’s character rarely gets to be anything other than irascible , but the production keeps buoyant with wit and sensitivity .
, which in turn uses several linguistic resources described in the
data sources
section on that page .
z . i always think it adds to the interest of a voyage having to put on your watch .
a . [ presenting a treasury note ] cease preaching . take it ; and give me the change .
a . yes you do . our best seller here is old moore ' s almanack ; and next to it comes napoleon ' s book of fate . old mrs ward would never have sold the shop to me if she had not become persuaded that the day of judgment is fixed for the seventh of august next .
returning to the themes of pygmalion , shaw again satirises the flimsy constructs of class divisions , where grimes , a village shop assistant and telephone operator , uses her mannered voice to move undetected among upper - class passengers .
a . thats strange . as she was never out and he was never in , the household should have been a quiet one ; but that remark of his about men and women driving oneanother mad rather suggests the opposite .
we are certified as a film - friendly community through the texas film commission ,
she said .
we have ordinances in place to make it very clear as to what our expectations are and what the city will help with . we also have many people within the city who have been trained to be film - ready .
z . oh , that wouldnt suit you at all . she ' d want to spend it going into society and travelling about . how could you bear that sort of life ? you that never spoke to anyone on the ship and wouldnt take any part in their games and dances ! when it got about that you were the marco polo man - - the man of all our dreams as you might say - - i made a bet that i ' d get you to talk to me ; and i had all the trouble in the world to win it .

a . we must take the world as we find it . it ' s we that are not rightly arranged .
z . let me see . eighteenpence , and fourpence for the ginger beer is one and tenpence , isnt it ?
a . well , am i not making a living ? i am no poorer than when i bought the shop .
a . you must always let yourself think about everything . and you must think about everything as it is , not as it is talked about . your secondhand gabble about gratifying my senses is only your virgin innocence . we shall get quite away from the world of sense . we shall light up for oneanother a lamp in the holy of holies in the temple of life ; and the lamp will make its veil transparent . aimless lumps of stone blundering through space will become stars singing in their spheres . our dull purposeless village existence will become one irresistible purpose and nothing else . an extraordinary delight and an intense love will seize us . it will last hardly longer than the lightning flash which turns the black night into infinite radiance . it will be dark again before you can clear the light out of your eyes ; but you will have seen ; and for ever after you will think about what you have seen and not gabble catchwords invented by the wasted virgins that walk in darkness . it is to give ourselves this magic moment that we feel that we must and shall hold oneanother in our arms ; and when the moment comes , the world of the senses will vanish ; and for us there will be nothing ridiculous , nothing uncomfortable , nothing unclean , nothing but pure paradise .
z . [ sympathetically ] it is annoying to have somebody talking to you all the time when you dont want to . but it ' s just as bad when you want to talk , and the other person wont , isnt it ?
hbo ? has revealed season 2 of praised porn industry drama series ? the deuce ? will premiere september 9 . . .
z . oh , i see . that is why you select this end of the deck . i often wondered why .
z . oh , thats the first time youve asked me a question . we ' re getting on , arnt we ?
a . never mind : i know you didnt mean it . by the way , i made an inconsiderate remark which hurt you . i did not intend that . i should have told you seriously that i pay you ten pounds more than the market rate because i value your services in the shop , and wish to offer you every inducement to stay here permanently .
skirner ' s face suddenly changed . he drew out a magic wand , and with eyes fixed upon her and in a solemn voice , as he waved it over her , he chanted an awful mystic curse . there was breathless silence in the room while skirner with slow movements of the wand wove about gerd dread enchantments and breathed over her the direful incantation : —
z . oh , you neednt do that . the accountant ' s clerk from salisbury does all that when he makes out the income tax return . youre not expected to do figures in this village . fancy old mrs ward doing such a thing !
a . the world has become a world of customers . let me write that down . [ he pencils on the back of his balance sheet ]
manners will never be universally good until every person is every other person ' s customer .
working alone on the deck of a pleasure ship , a crotchety travel writer , known in the text as a , is approached by an effusive and attractive young woman known as z , whose attentions , of course , he finds a complete nuisance .
z . [ sympathetically ] yes : it is awful to have to talk to people , isnt it ? oh , that reminds me : i have something really interesting to tell you . i believe the man in the cabin next mine beats his wife .
z . it ' s not all . if you marry a stranger there will be three . and what about the children ?
with hilarious homages to ' 80s favorites likeflashdance , ? weird science , ? the golden girls ? and qvc , ? . . .
a . [ putting on his glasses and looking at her attentively for the first time ] i shouldnt call you a pretty woman .
a . i dont know . one does , somehow . stop asking questions ; and let us get on with the balance sheet .

a . i cannot eat more than two apples at a time . charge me for a pound ; and eat the odd one yourself .
a . crusoe drew up a balance sheet of the advantages and disadvantages of being cast away on a desert island . i am cast away in a village on the wiltshire downs . i am drawing up a similar balance sheet . i propose to read it to you as far as i have got . [ he takes one of the customer ' s chairs ] you can remind me of anything i have forgotten .
a . [ rising wrathfully ] the most offensive liberty one human being can possibly take with another . what business is it of yours ?
z . [ eagerly ] oh , i am so glad you know margate . theres no place like it in the season , is there ?
z . [ coming out and taking one down ] this is the cheapest . or would you like a better quality with a zip fastening ?
z . thats too clever for me . anyhow , you neednt worry over a balance sheet . the accountant will do all that for you .
z . [ rising ] very well : you can keep your balance sheet to yourself . i will go on with the telephone call book .
a . i shall expect more than you have ever dreamt of giving , in spite of the boundless audacity of women . what great men would ever have been married if the female nobodies who snapped them up had known the enormity of their own presumption ? i believe they all thought they were going to refine , to educate , to make real gentlemen of their husbands . what do you intend to make of me , i wonder ?
and frey told him how he climbed into the seat of odin and looked upon jotunheim and had seen the beautiful maiden like a sunbeam among shadows , like a sudden coming of summer when snows are deep , and that he could never be happy again until he had won her for himself .
a . it is your privilege as a woman to have the last word . please take it and dont end all your remarks with a question .
a . evidently . you would hardly offer to tell it to a perfect stranger if you cared , or if it was of the smallest interest .
why do you stay here all day alone ?
he asked .
where are the light and joy that have always been yours ?
i am not afraid ,
said skirner proudly ; fate has already fixed the day of my death , and it cannot be changed .
skirner was soon mounted and riding homeward as fast as his horse could carry him . he was so happy in the thought of frey ' s happiness that the distance seemed short , and as he drew near he saw frey standing before his father ' s halls , looking anxiously for his coming .
one day is long ; long , indeed , are two . how shall i wait for three ?
was all the thanks skirner got .
[ 59 ]
if that is all , it is easily managed ,
said skirner when he had heard the story .
give me your swiftest horse that can ride through fire and flame , and the sword which swings itself when giants are opposed , and i will go to jotunheim .

z . well , i suppose i shouldnt call it that ; but it ended in my going to rome and athens . they were all right ; but the old parts were half knocked down ; and i couldnt see any glory or grandeur different to cheltenham . i was glad to be home again . and i had so wanted to meet the marco polo man and walk about with him in the ruins by moonlight and hear him go on about them !
we have caterers for canteen services and ample hotel space ,
she said .

a . there are three or four hundred persons on this ship . cannot you find one of them with the same insatiable thirst for conversation as yourself ?
“it is your privilege as a woman to have the last word , ” says peter gaynor , who does a nice line in clenched exasperation , “please take it . ” rebecca grimes , charming and evenly - judged as the insouciant pursuer of a frigid male , persists though . and director michael james ford’s deftly handled production recognises a deeper probing in its comedy through which the peculiarities of marriage , class and society may be indexed in these exchanges , from a to z .

when skirner pressed her to go back with him , she promised to meet frey nine days hence and become his bride in the groves of bar - isle .
z . oh , how do i know ? they dont know , themselves . but the lot of money they spend on things they dont want merely to come in and have a look at me and a word with me , you wouldnt believe . it ' s worth at least twenty pounds a year to the business .
a . i am not everyman . everyman thinks that every woman that steps into a railway carriage may be the right woman . but she is always a disappointment .
z . cheese threepence : two and a penny ; butter sixpence : two and sevenpence ; apples we sell by the pound . hadnt you better have a pound ?
a . i loathe saving . it turns human nature sour .
cast your bread upon the waters ; and it will return to you after many days .
a . well , if you come to that , what becomes of me ? you can get another job . i very greatly doubt whether anyone would give me one . [ calming down ] can you not be content with the fact that the shop is making enough to support two people ? [ he resumes his seat ] .
a . [ alarmed ] no i dont think . may i explain ? i am a man of letters and a gentleman . i am accustomed to associate with ladies . that means that i am accustomed to speak under certain well understood reserves which act as a necessary protection to both parties . you are not a lady : you are a villager ; but somebody has educated you - - probably the church or the local authority - - to a point at which you can impose on unobservant and unwary travellers . you have had finishing lessons on the telephone which give you a distinguished articulation : you can say th - reee fiv - v - v - v - e ni - n - n - n instead of theree fauv nawn . but you have not acquired any of the reserves . you say what you think . you announce all the plans that well - bred women conceal . you play with your cards on the table instead of keeping them where a lady should keep them : up your sleeve .
the lounge deck of the empress of patagonia , a pleasure ship . two of the deck chairs are occupied by a , a literary looking pale gentleman under forty in green spectacles , a limp black beard , and a tropical suit of white silk , who is writing and does not wish to be disturbed , and z , a young woman , presentable but not aristocratic , who is bored with her book . she is undressed for bathing , but is very modestly covered up with a not too flamboyant wrap .
a . i dont know . ha ha ! the postman ' s daughter hath ripe red lips : butter and eggs and a pound of cheese ! ha ha ha !
a . you have hit on an extraordinary coincidence . i wonder whether you will believe me when i tell you that in january last i was sitting on the deck of a ship named the empress of patagonia , and that i was talking to a female - - or rather she was talking to me . how that woman did talk !
a . no : i never notice things like that . i am not a detective . it is people ' s characters that impress me ; i cant tell you the color of her hair or the shape of her nose ; but i can tell you that she was a most fearful nuisance . how much does all that come to ?
z . oh , speak english : youre not on the telephone now . what i mean is that if it doesnt matter to me it doesnt matter to you either .
a . i have learnt not to expect too much from life . that is the secret of real cheerfulness , because i am always getting agreeable surprises instead of desolating disappointments .
