Road, Movie, Autoricksaw.

Don't take it as a review of the latest movie (Road,Movie) but obviously somewhere the effect and after-effect of the movie is involved.
So after spending the whole idle Saturday, well, idly ... at around 7:54 PM we decided to go to a movie and of all the 3-4 movies running now , Abhay Deol's class act of Dev D weighted heavier than others. And when we were almost ready to leave, a friend of mine told that the reviews aren't good for the movie. The show was to start at around 11 PM and I was a bit worried about the conveyance. But keeping all incertitudes aside, we finally left for the movie. We had five consecutive seats and a separate seat in the previous row. I chose to sit at the other end of the 5-consecutive seats partly hoping a good luck that some cute girl might have the seat next to me.Although at that time of night,it was quite unlikely but our heart never stops hoping.Isnt'it ?
Well the hope wasn't fulfilled.
The movie has good pace and some quirk verbiage which was quite expected of it.The protagonist Vishnu has to deliver some old movie reels and an archaic projector to some friend of his uncle on a 1943 Chevrolet truck and the road to some 'Samudrabagh' (City beside a Sea) was not known to him. So, see how the makers arrived at the name (Road,Movie  ;)  ). So his journey begins and on the way he meets different people who then become his mates on the journey. A young boy who despite working in a road-side tea stall in some hopeless village knows what 'Star bucks' is!!! A mechanic who could start the forlorn truck every time it breaks down and run the projector too. A widow (and apparently the heroine), who is in search of water, with a profound sense of liberalism quite unlikely of women of such backward areas. But it's a movie and we accept everything!
So they meet a policeman on the way and their only bail out from his evil intensions were the movies. They arrange a show for him and escape somehow.It seemed the movie is about how Cinema connects everyone everywhere.
Then there were few women searching water for days and singing a rajasthani (more likely marwari) song. The scarcity of water and how it pushes human modesty to its brink is very nicely picturized and made us believe that may be the film is about 'save water' theme.
Then the movie takes the funniest twist. They come across the 'Dacoits of Water'. The leader of the herd,who by the way can speak pretty correct english, threatens to kill vishnu and take away the heroine.Fully filmi!!! But the stalwart that our vishnu is ... he gives them a hair-pulling lecture on virility ("Mardangi") and how his father's brand of hair-oil (Oh I forgot that part!) Atma hair oil can make them 'Mard' (!!!!&#^@$!$#&$). They fall for his trap and exchange a liter of water for every bottle of the hair-oil.
As expected he gives the water to the wandering soul in the desert and moves on for rest of the journey.The mechanic dies all of a sudden and the damsel in distress returns to her clan taking the boy with her.
The movie ends here and still we couldn't fully understand the motive of the movie.Anyways,it was not worth inferring too.

The after-effect of the movie lasted long.The auto-rickshaw we hired kept breaking down every now and then  and we finally had to leave it and look for another one.It was about to pull out when suddenly the driver realized that he is out of gas.The third one was taking eternity to come to a bargain but when a fourth one came, he suddenly jumped onto his feet. The fourth one's auto-rickshaw kept making uncomfortable sounds and we were not completely sure if it would safely take us to our flat.Thankfully,we reached.
So,when I was about to retire on bed... only one thing kept clangoring my mind:
      "Aatma tel lagaya,Baal sar bhar paaya...baaki sab maaya!!!"
What the hell!
