charming road movie, a real treat after ages
20 December 2023
This is a charming road movie, a real treat after ages. Four women at different life stages, all with varied backgrounds and motivations, unite in a mission. They live to ride and ride to live to the top of the world, showing that both the journey and the destination matter, a riddle that has plagued humans for eternity.

The cinematography and music are outstanding, you witness the amazing beauty of India as our bike squad ascends the continent. They undergo a journey of self-discovery and introspection and come to terms with some of the troubles they are fleeing from.

I must give special credit to Ratna Pathak Shah for playing the indomitable matriarch Mahi. She stole every scene and was the true center of gravity for the 3 women seeking meaning in their journey, having already entered the twilight of her own.

Ultimately the timeless question of journey or destination is answered. Life is, after all, about experiences ... and who you meet along the way can change the course of your life.
