Dev Benegal’s latest in quite a while “Road, movie” hits theatres March 5th. The film premiered at the 2009 Toronto Film Festival, and has been doing the film festival circuit since. 95 minutes long, and starring Abhay Deol, Satish Kaushik, Tannishtha Chatterjee and Yashpal Sharma, the film is about a young man who, unenthused about joining his father’s hair oil business, volunteers for a trip across the desert in an old battered Chevy. Little does he know that the journey will change his life.
The film is produced by Ross Katz (Lost in translation). I’ve seen Benegal’s “Split Wide Open”, which I’m not gaga about. “Road,movie” seems to have gotten rave reviews, and seeing how Abhay Deol picks his films, this has got to be interesting.
