May 14, 2010 (Washington Bangla Radio) Dev Benegal's ROAD, MOVIE tells a story of an adventurous young man Vishnu (Abhay Deol) who sets off cross-country in a beat-up truck, giving rides to a myriad of interesting people. He picks up a young runaway (Mohammed
Faizal Usmani), a wandering old entertainer (Satish Kaushik) and a
striking gypsy woman (Tannishtha Chatterjee) and
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 waterlord.
Starring in Road, Movie are Tannishtha
Chatterjee and Satish Kaushik, of the graceful and tender Brick
Lane (2007) [DVD] fame.
Director Dev
Benegal with producers Susan B. Landau and Ross Katz (Lost in
Translation [DVD], In The Bedroom [DVD]) have captured some of the fantastic grandeur
of the Indian landscape, its people and culture in a unique concept
movie.
Watch a special trailer of Road, Movie, subtitled in English.
