The Darjeeling Limited

My first and possibly, the only movie review I'll ever write.
My head is still buzzing with the slow humming music, a tune which can do wonders when drunk:) The movie is ....hmmm....let me think of the right word.....DISTURBED ...and I like it. Its got no beginning and no end. It stops as abruptly as it starts. To be very frank...it stops exactly as it starts.
The story ....I think......... is about 3 brothers in search of their mother in India. They meet each other on a train in India and thats where the story begins. The story takes some crazy twists and turns, including a touching scene where they rescue 2 of the 3 boys from drowning. Thee scene in the village has practically no words spoken, yet leaves u a little moved.
It end with them meeting their mother near the Himalayas, only to return without her. The story end with them running to catch the train again......
I luved the movie and from this review its amply clear....I have no future as a movie critic.....but hey thats y I am an Analyst :) :) :)

dude
the score has been cobbled togetherfrom old satyajit ray flicks
its sort of a tribute
maybe anachronistically so
like darjeeling not really featuring in it
cheers!!
