Again with a slightly different concept, twisted moments, haphazardly mixed up scenes but in one word a different taste for Indian movie lovers – that’s whats the speciality of Abhay Deol Road’s movie and even all movies in which he acts.

Call him a Patriarch of Odd movies with his old number if you might have heard 1:40 ki last local, Dev D, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Socha na Tha. The concepts and stories behind all these movies were out of typical Bollywood style movies. And again with all these mixed up stuffs, he is back with Road movie.

First have a look on Star Casts of this movie.
Cast: Abhay Deol, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Satish Kaushik, Mohammed Faizal
Director: Dev Benegal
Rating : **** star

Review- The lead role played by Abhay Deol as Vishnu, who is a restless young man, itches to escape his father’s faltering hair oil business.

An old truck arrives, which Vishnu sees as his ticket to freedom. He offers to drive the antique Chevy across the desert to the sea, where it has been sold to a local museum. As he sets off across the harsh terrain, he discovers he’s not merely transporting a battered vehicle but an old touring cinema.

Along the way, Vishnu reluctantly picks up a young runaway, a wandering old entertainer and a striking gypsy woman. Together they roam the barren land, searching for water and an elusive fair. The journey turns dire when they are waylaid by corrupt cops and a notorious water-lord.

The key to their freedom is the eccentric collection of films and the two forty-year-old film projectors in the back of the truck. As in 1001 Nights, if the films are good, they live and move on. If the films are boring, they face death in the outback.

The journey proves transformative for each of the travelers, but especially for Vishnu who discovers life, love and laughter on the Indian Road.

As per Joe Leydon, this movie is a modestly amusing dramedy that is all the more pleasant for its fleeting detours. After 3 idiots, this will be the first movie that is going to fully entertain you.


As per acting Abhay Deol is God, Direction by Dev benegal is flawless. This movie is not your regular candy floss mainstream flick, but its lightly hatke and that why this movie will hit you and hit you very hard. The only problem everybody faced after watching this movie was that it runs only 95 minutes. This lovely, wise, witty and soul stirring film has irrestible charm of becoming an art-house hit.
