The first idea that popped into my head was, “not another Hangover!” Starting with an imminent wedding, a group of friends decide to go for a bachelors’ party to Spain. Less than subtle hints are dropped about how crazy it’s going to be. But looks may be deceptive, and i was glad for that.
The trip moves through all the places for which Spain is famous for, Pamplona, Costa Brava and Seville. And in course of their journey, the trio take a trip into their innermost fears. I know how “modern hollywood” that sounds, yet the surprise lies in the acting. Hrithik, Farhan and Abhay bring alive the characters they portray.
Kabir (Abhay Deol) is getting married. Imraan (Farhan Aktar) and Arjun (Hrithik Roshan) his two buddies since childhood are joining him on a trip to Spain. Arjun is a money minded broker, Imraan, a copywriter and aspiring poet and Kabir, the rich son of a construction company owner. Supposed to be a 3 week fun trip, it turns into something completely different. Many times the movie borders on the cliche. But the bold, different style of direction, frank emotions and the characters that we can relate to, pull the movie together making it one of the most decent movies made in Bollywood.
Two women play important parts in the plot. Katrina Kaif (Laila) is a dive instructor and Kalki Koechlin (Natasha) the fiance of Kabir. They both play their supporting roles well.
There is plenty of fun and spice, after all the movie is set in London, Spain and Mumabi.
All-in-all, Zoya Aktar has done a good job and if she makes another movie i’m sure ill watch it.
