Hit The Road: India On The Mumbai Xpress

Huffington Post piece on the great Hit The Road: India film.
“Every once in a while, a truly fun original documentary comes along. Hit The Road: India is an adventure documentary that follows two friends, Ric Gazarian and Keith King, as they participate in the heretofore unknown Rickshaw Challenge Mumbai Xpress — a 12-day-long, 2000 kilometer rickshaw rally across India, from Mumbai to Chennai, recognized by the Lonely Planet as one of the top ten greatest adventures in the world. It’s not quite the Safary Rally or the London-Sydney Marathon but in a sense the Mumbai Xpress is more exciting.
There’s an element of the absurd in watching Gazarian and King — real estate agent from Chicago and a trained chef from Canada, respectively — putter along at 30 miles an hour in a rickshaw or tuk-tuk in the middle of monsoon season. The rain, horizontal and vertical, pours down on them. At one point, King exclaims “It’s fucking cold out here.” It’s unclear as well exactly what they are feeding themselves with — a mixture of dried fruit and nuts, local fish rotis and whatever else they can find in the one and two star hotels where they stop to spend the night along the way in this 10 day rickshawathon.”

Hit The Road: India – Travel Adventure Documentary

Hit The Roads of India with Rickshaw Challenge

The great Hit The Road: India film is making lots of noise, and the latest is a cool piece in BACKPACK ME
“This is no Bollywood. This is no ordinary documentary, even. Hit The Road India, is a a feature travel adventure documentary. It follows the adventure of 2 friends from North America, Richard and Keith, who take part in a rickshaw rally across India during 12 days. The Mumbai Xpress starts in Mumbai and ends up in Chennai. You can imagine that, for both the team in the rally and those shooting the documentary, this was a trip full of adventure.. even more adventure than the “regular” dose one gets to experience by default when touring Incredible India. And that is saying a lot!
Hit The Road is, in theory, a documentary about the Mumbai Xpress race and the particular team featured in this case. But ultimately, it’s about more than that: it’s about observing, from an outsider’s perspective, how life rolls in India. But do not expect an “Incredible India” type of commercial here. This is a documentary that doesn’t necessarily show you the most colorful or pretty side of India, but it does give you an insight on the real deal of smaller cities, away from landmarks and popular monuments.”
