    Good Treat , Additional bikes would have made it much better !
    Purchased this movie from the chopper town and was an absolute treat. This movie is really awesome with most of scenes captured using still camera and no frequent camera movement. Awesome film making and wish them to direct many more movies based on travelling and adventure .

    Simple and beautiful film making with no hus fus.
