andrew-manavian's rating
This is an Indian Road Trip Movie, from the 1960's. The story is solid, and the pace is appropriate.
If you do not understand Bengali, you will definitely miss a lot of the innuendos, and the subtitles will not help you out with their literal translation! The young child is an excellent actor, and I wasn't surprised to see that he is now a very successful actor in Tollywood movies (Bollywood is the Hindi movie industry based in Bombay/Mumbai, Tollywood is the Bengali movie industry, based out of Tollygunj in Kolkata).
The cinematography works well, and does present an evocative view of India 40-45 years ago.
The DVD print isn't great for the night scenes...that is the only drag on an otherwise excellent movie.
