Development Director
Krish completed his graduate studies in the United States and returned to India with the sole intention of becoming a filmmaker. Because his parents were not supportive, he started an education consulting firm. Meanwhile, he worked as an assistant to cinematographer-turned-director,
Rasool Ellore, who directed
Okariki Okaru (2003) and
Bhageeratha (2005). After a year and a half of success, Krish returned to his dream of becoming a filmmaker. When travelling across the state of
Maharashtra for research on a film topic, he connected with his vehicle driver. From here, he obtained the initial inspiration and wrote a story about two people with a different outlook towards life, travelling together.
Themes and influences The primary theme of the film is
self-discovery. Noting that the film is inspired from
The Motorcycle Diaries (2004),
Sify wrote about the storyline: "A spoiled rich brat realizing the social responsibility by taking an unusual journey."
Rediff.com's Aditya Vardhan also noted its similarities with
The Motorcycle Diaries. He added, "Krish weaves his own story around the basic theme and takes us on a journey capturing the mood of the countryside." ==Soundtrack==
