Fardeen
Khan
as
Abhay
Sachdeva
The
quintessential
Indian
city
boy.
Friendly,
spirited,
ambitious
with
a
great
sense
of
humor,
Abhay
does
what
most
normal
men
his
age
do.
Holds
down
a
great
job
at
an
MNC,
hits
the
gym,
guzzles
his
beer
and
hangs
out
with
the
guys.
He's
the
typical
guy-next-door.
His
sense
of
tradition
and
duty
are
perfectly
placed,
which
is
perhaps
why,
after
completing
his
MBA
overseas
he
comes
home
to
his
family
in
India
and
agrees
to
an
arranged
marriage
with
the
girl
his
parents
have
chosen
for
him.
Yet, inspite of all his sensibilities, a 5 day honeymoon with a stranger, albeit his wife of 24 hours, seems strange to him! As he arms himself with a truckload of patience and sensitivity, even he knows that this journey's going to be full of surprises. And he's game for it. He's dead sure that whatever this honeymoon throws at him, he's going to come out a winner. Perhaps that's what makes Abhay so special.
Esha
Deol
as
Ritika
Khanna
Surprise
is
just
one
of
the
emotions
that
Ritika
feels
when
her
parents
announce
their
decision
to
wed
her
to
an
absolute
stranger-the
great
Indian
arranged
marriage-whoever
knew
that
she
would
be
a
victim!
What's worse is that just 24 hours after her wedding, she now needs to take off on a 5 day honeymoon to Ooty--with a stranger! Sure she knows his name's Abhay Sachdeva and that hers has now miraculously changes to Ritika Sachdeva-that he likes the color blue since he wore a blue sherwani for his wedding to her-that his parents are nice-and his sister half crazy-but that's it! Who is he? What does he do for fun? Was he as against their marriage being arranged as she was? Does he snore at night?-and was she expected to share a bed with him for 5 whole days? Just how much knowledge is enough when on honeymoon with a stranger?
To say that Ritika's nervous is like saying that she's happy. She isn't. Scared out of her wits, hesitant, thrown off, uncomfortable-that's more the way she's feeling. And frankly, who in their right senses can blame her?
The one thing she's not ready for is the fact that she may actually fall in love with Abhay. Does she?
Synopsis
Marriage is often the culmination of a perfect romance. An arranged marriage however, is the beginning of an anticipated romance.
2 individuals: Abhay Sachdeva and Ritika Khanna. Strangers, but for a sole meeting. On the fringes of familiarity but with their destinies firmly entwined forever. Married to each other yet outsiders together on their honeymoon.
Far away in Ooty, 290 kms from home in Bangalore, Abhay and Ritika begin their journey as husband and wife on their 5 day honeymoon. Along the way they chance upon several people-some couples, some individuals, some believers in the institution of marriage and the romance of togetherness, some non-believers. Abhay and Ritika have never held hands, never walked together in the rain, never romanced each other and yet, as per ritual, they have to spend 5 days together in one room, with one bed, as husband and wife, in a situation where they are expected to love each other and become lovers.
Just Married is a movie that starts where most others end. It is a film set amidst middle class India where romance and love start at the ultimate commitment-marriage.
Will Abhay and Ritika find friendship and become lovers? Will they survive their new found relationship as husband and wife? Will their honeymoon be the beginning of the end?
Just
Married.
Marriage
was
only
the
beginning.
And
love
was
definitely
not
in
the
air!
Never
has
a
love
story
been
so
unlike
any
other!
