Road, Movie (2009)
3/10
Unrealistic Arty
12 September 2010
Warning: Spoilers
This movie has so many unrealistic details and unnatural moments that it turns out to be a poor attempt at making an Art film.

For some reason the mechanic (Satish Kaushik) wears a hat and jacket in extremely hot Rajasthan. The truck never needs diesel but does keep failing for lack of water. Despite heat, dirt and no water hero's (Abhay Deol's) vest is shining white, and every actor's clothes remain as neat as they were on day one of their journey.

There is hardly any storyline, and the dialogues are terrible. The language sounds filmi. The truck has Marathi style Hindi spellings though it is shown to be in Rajsthan. The short time with villain (Yashpal Sharma) is unnecessary. The young widow (Tanishtha) and driver (Abhay Deol) should have had some more passionate scenes.

Overall, it feels like it is an out of context copy of some foreign movie(s).
