Storyline
Featured review
It's about a group of courageous biker girls living their dream as a unit and biking the long roads around India.
There's no real supporting units or anything like the prep involved if this was done for real. It's remarkable that more punctures didn't occur. One bike is washed-away in what can be (arduously) described as action in slow mo but not the John Woo kind just very very slow shots of rushing waters and an age of repetition shots and then the panic of the actors but no clue of how to save a bike which would not start. The cinematography could not even save this dull plot.
This movie has the same theme of the group trying to find themselves and they eventually do; once the journey is completed. Now it's ridiculous that it took 2 hours 14 minutes for this to happen with so much dross context which could have been edited out.
However that's not even the worst bit. The older women unfortunately gets into health issues and they get her to a hospital. There they find out that she needs oxygen. This in what appears to be a built-up city/town and in a Hospital which already has modern equipment.
I'm sorry but this is just weird and stupid. How this is even possible is just ridiculous and the execution is just terrible. Even the actors look awkward as they express their gratitude that she's safe because they know how terrible the script is!
It's a shame as had they cut out this sheer stupidness it would have been a better road movie. I understand it's based on a book of a real trip but if the Director got creative influence then he really should have just stuck to the book!
It's far too long and wounded and repetitive on silly stories and narratives. Cinematography is excellent and there's some strong acting in parts but it's just really average I'm afraid.
The quote that sums it up is 'now I have the confidence to go on the nice wide roads' when she's on a B road and nothing like the six lane highways you get in Asia. Lol.
