| OregonianMarc MohanClichéd storylines and unconvincing performances aside, the film's mood shifts from gritty realism to sappy slapstick faster than a lorry barreling down an expressway. |
| User ReviewPaul DSeveral stories set along one baron and often dangerous road. Some are more interesting than others but the exaggerated set of characters do entertain. |
| User ReviewRahul BThey all have one same destination: Athangasa. |
| User ReviewAkash SA truck driver, unable to support his extended family properly, gets some outside help to stage an accident for insurance claims; a couple, on their journey through rural Gujarat, finds their son missing due to their carelessness; a small girl, who on her way to her grandmother's house, accidentally and unwittingly halts at a place which is darker than it appears to be. Three interesting stories, beautifully entwined with each other, keeps you hooked till the very end. Though the screenplay is thought-provoking, the movie ultimately fails to have any sort of impact on you. The overall acting is just okay; the performance by the two small kids and the truck people really stand out, and is quite commendable. The cinematography is spectacular, and elegantly captures the rural Gujarat; it adds to the beauty of the stories. The music also helps create a good feel to the film. With a better screenplay, a superior direction, and more skillful acting, the movie could have had better impact on the viewers. Though the movie doesn't bore you in its 90 minute long well-paced screenplay, ultimately it becomes one of those movies which can be seen and forgotten. |
