Road (Movie)

Based on a script that was an official favorite at the L’Atelier du Cannes in 2006, ‘Road, Movie’ is directed by Dev Benegal and produced by Ross Katz & Susan B. Landau.

This movie is a story of the intriguing journey of a restless man Vishnu (played by Abhay Deol). He is not interested in the failing business of hair oil operated by his father and he decides to get away. He finds a resort in the form of an old truck.

It belongs to his uncle and was once used as a theater on wheels that was run by his uncle. This truck and some stuff that is safe in its back are now sold to a museum in a city of sea. Vishnu takes the responsibility of taking the truck from the deserts to the sea.

On the way he gives a lift to a few interesting characters – Mohammed Faizal Usmani who plays a young boy who has eloped from his house, Staish Kaushik who is an old age entertainer who keeps wandering around and Tannishtha Chatterjee who plays a beautiful gypsy woman. As the team of these 4 roams around in the empty barren lands of India, they come across some harsh realities of life.

All in all, it is okay if you miss this one on the big screen!
