Road, मूवी

Its refreshing to see a movie which breaks all the stereotypes and creates and shows, a different world ( different from mainstream Bollywood movies). As the movie starts you can actually feel the pain as if you are the one trying to sell Aatma Tel. And as the movie ends you feel what? too soon man! what happened? its absurd!

But now when I think of it the movie did inspire me to look at life in general and correlate between the two ( the movie and the life :p).

- Movie has a absurd ending, Life definitely has a absurd ending what I mean is-- what is it all about the car,house,pay,hike, promotion,money etc and what you get after getting all that is Death! what a absurd yet fantastic end!

- Protagonist is out on a journey towards something, but he is all unawares of what all will befell him on the way . Like the situation where Deol find himself stuck on the road with 2 strangers, who ate his food, and his decision to run away leaving them stranded in the desert . Again let me get philosophical, in life you have a hazy idea of what you want but the situations that arise at times are totally absurd and those situations make you realize what you actually want and what you actually are.

- At times you gotta do what you don't want to. At other times the things, which you don't want to do but still do, help you out when you least expect them to. Like when Deol's Aatma Tel comes to his rescue when Deol et. al. are stuck with water dacoits. In life perceptions that you create about yourself and people create about you do matter. The above mentioned scene was the "best" example of the "best" marketing ( its all about creating a perception)! And as I am a guy associated with marketing for last 2 years all I have to say is " that was absurdly fantastic idea". Kudos to the script writer.

- Deol is god.He is -- I guess what Om Puri or Nasserudin Shah were for our dads' age, I mean with respect to the ability to demarcate oneself from the mainstream cinema.

- Remix of "Sar jo tera chakraye" was awesome! Nice song!

- Deol's movies get us in touch with stark realities!

You meet some.. you travel with some.. you leave some.. you have fun with some.. you help some..
in the end its just about --

"you gotta do what you gotta do!" -- no questions asked no answers given!
