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.”
