You make films to express your ideas, to share your imagination and because you don’t give a shit about how much money the film will gross. That’s what Dev Benegal’s ‘ROAD, MOVIE’ is all about.
The movie to me is very mystical, adventurous and spiritual. It also shows the love for cinema and film making like Martin Scorsese's HUGO.
I had downloaded this movie in mobile format because the torrents print has sucky seeds and I didn’t have the fu**ing money to buy a DVD. Today I saw it on my laptop with my half-broke, half-working ear phone. The movie is about a oil merchants apathetic son who has no goal in his life and he don’t want to sell oil (atma teil) which his father manufactures and wants his son to carry on the family business which is by the way is very swampy. His journey starts when he goes away from his home to sell oil in a far harbour city in his uncle’s old truck. His uncle is a nomad who shows cinema to different villages and towns. Thus begins the adventurous journey of Vishnu(Abhey Deol) across the deserted western India.
The movie was released shorty, a month after the brilliant DEV D but its very sad that it didn’t got any recognition any where near to it. In my opinion the movie has very much to say in the different scenes which are mystical as well as bewilldering.
Though the movie lacked the conventional masala which we call entertainment to amuse people but I enjoyed every bit of it. It also made me think the typicality of link between human and the world and how one affect another.
It looks like reading one of the poulo coelho’s novel ‘the alchemist’ or ‘pilgrimage’. Film is more about expressing something which can’t be tought but only be felt. The cinematography across the deserts and salt lakes and droughted rivers is just mesmerising. The shots of long unmaned land with only a truck gives you chills down your spine.
It’s a content based film rather then performance and dialogues. After a very good performence in DEV D Abhey Deol is so so. the others like Yashpal Sharma, Virendra Saxena, Tanishtha Chaterjee and the boy fits well in there roll. The most remarkable performance was of Satish kaushik as the mechanic. Though there are many dialogues in the movie which are very well written and shows the maturity of thoughts but the movie didn't gave emphasis on them.
The movie is a journey of thoughts, problems, happiness and enlightenment.
