Yay for an Australia release!
Yaaay … I have been waiting since ages for the announcement!! I have been telling anyone and everyone about it!
Hey Dev, Just discovered your blog. Sounds terrific about Road, Movie. Will be awaiting its release in UK eagerly.
Finally! Do you realize there are people who have been waiting 16 years to go and support you? Lido, Bangalore became a multplex in that time!. 16 years, how old I was when I saw the film(ok cheating, I was 18). With each pop cultural generation being 5 years, that was 3 generations ago.
Man…..
I just saw the trailer on Youtube.
Saw it again.
Searched it on imdb.Watched the trailer again.
I paused it and searched for the directors name.Made a google search which got me into your blog.
I cant wait for this one to release.I am way too happy that movies are being made like this in India.

Hi Dev, eagerly looking forward to seeing Road, Movie. Long, long time ago, I used to work with Ramesh Sharma’s Moving Pictures Company. I met you a couple of times for taking film clips of English August for MPC’s updates on IFFI Mumbai. Is it possible to meet you whenever you are in Delhi?

reading all your blogs and i just loved your style of writing. now waiting for 5th march the d-day for road movie
Hi,
Am just someone who waits for a good friday when a really new movie makes me sit back and see magic. Road is next on my list. I liked the promos, loved the rural texture. I read your piece in HT cafe and loved what you say about photography. Wish you all the nest–tell me some bit more of that beautiful truck pictures and the blue truck:)
Hi Dev,
Wish you all the very best for the release of Road, Movie tomorrow. As promised, I will be watching the first day third show (cant make the first show since T1 and T2 will be in school and they want to come as well).
Take care,
Beni
Hey Dev, Amazing work on Road, saw it with my friends, awesome journey.. kudos… keep the journey on.
Loved Satish’s work…
It worked for me and the 3 others in my group
). Thanks Dev. It was a little disappointing though, to see low occupancy in the show that I attended. Hope it’ll gain its audience through word of mouth.
Congratulations. It is a beautiful movie. The themes and subthemes are sublime and are weaved beautifully. I was reluctant initially to go and see the movie ( you know ordinary viewes like me do get a little intimidated by such ‘Cannes’ type movies? – we are more comfortable with the ‘khan’ type movies – lol ) . It was pleasant to watch the movie and I must say the movie started growing on me, couple of hours after I left the theater. Without any effort, the theme surfaced up within me from the inside-out (as any good art-work should, i believe) and I was able to grasp some of the concepts and also the metaphors employed. More so since I must have perhaps myself probed upon the concepts of popular cinema, purpose of cinema, the sublimation process in art, the persuasion in art, the selling aspect of it etc etc.
That Vishnu could manage to exchange water for oil (viewers should recall his father’s cliched ‘…registaan mein paani nahi bech paaoge’ ) was nicely handled although it carries the risk of coming across as something trivial and maybe it was. The oil motif was well employed throughout. Chacha’s love and luck with ancient machines, his witty jibes on the naturally self-centered city-waala, Vishnu – was smooth and enjoyable. Satish kaushik carried the character superbly, I thought. Chacha’s optimism came through in a measured manner and he was aptly rewarded with a permanent smile in his death bed. The music could have been more local, I felt (but maybe the sound of local indian string instruments might not have created the space. Packaging does matter right?).
The parting away of the young widow and Vishnu had something liberal and wishful about it but that image I thought is ambigously beautiful (for city-wallas like us?). The image of village commoners laughing out watching Chaplin is something that would surely remain with the viewers.
nice work! a must-see for those who are passionate (or even dispassionate) about ‘caneema’ or ‘cinema’, for students of cinema, critics of the art…
