"Road, Movie" is a modestly amusing dramedy that is all the more pleasant for its fleeting detours into cheeky fantasy...

1 of 1 people found this review helpful The characters lack depth and the gypsy woman and the young boy are undefined to the extent that they remain nameless till the end credits. The direction is not abstract but a lot is left to your imagination...

The stage is set with a truck carrying reels and reels of films and the mechanism to play it in an arid, rugged, barely inhabited desert. Water is more precious than oil...

The viewers who love travelling long distances through roads and enjoy the lengthy highways are sure going to be disappointed with the treatment given by the director to the theme...

The film is textured lovingly, the colours are beautiful and its slow, sluggish pace initially enchants as much as it eventually exasperates...

Road, Movie seems to be aimed at young-minded people aka modern day cowboys who shoot the routine cinema of yore and try to test the boundaries of liberal thinking Bollywood cinema circa but sadly the makers fail to understand in their dream...

The point of this road-less journey remains mysteriously unknown though, given it's the premise. You can't quite place the leading man either, the wizard of pose: in Levi's jeans, tightly trendy tee, cellphone in hand, iPod to the ears...

Except our hero, who appears quite aimless, all the three have a motive, however vague. The pesky dhaba boy just wants to get away, the mechanic wants a lift to a mela, while the widowed gypsy girl is searching for water...

'Road, Movie' starts out really well. But it stumbles with introduction of every new character - so much that it reaches heights of abstract...

You do get involved with the characters' lives momentarily, especially that of the street-smart little boy who has already learnt how to survive in the world...

Road, Movie doesn't succeed in getting you to care for its characters or to sympathize with their situation because, quite frankly, there's never a sense of real danger...

The film is slow-paced and the screenplay is bland, lacking basic level drama. The characters are not well-drawn and the direction is a little vague...
