Darjeeling Limited





















This one is directed by American Director Wes Anderson, who was nominated for the Academy in the Best Screenplay category for The Royal Tenenbaums. He also produced The Squid and the Whale, which is one of my favorite movies. He also reportedly shares a great rapport with Noah Baumbach, Owen Wilson and Sofia Coppola. I now have some of his movies lined up for viewing – Rushmore and Royal Tenenbaums.

Very symbolic and with deep Indian spiritual nuances, Darjeeling Limited, is a delight for anyone who wants to experience India. My discovery in this movie was ‘sweet lime’ Amara Karan – an English actress born to Sri Lankan parents. This is her debut film, and has all what it takes to create an element mysticism - what the character was supposed to portray.

Holy Smoke more or less falls in the similar kind of trail.
