Road happens to be one of the unconventional movies and that is what the audience would have guessed merely from the fact that it is a Ram Gopal Verma's movie. It is the story of a couple whose life changes after they decide to give a lift to a man on the road.
         
Arvind (Vivek Oberoi) and Laxmi (Antara Mali) are in love with each other and decide to get married but are opposed by Laxmi's father. So, they elope and on the way, they meet a man Babu (Manoj Bajpai) and agree to give him a lift. Babu happens to be an eccentric character and behaves strangely. He

finally succeeds in rescuing Laxmi but Babu spoils his effort in the last minutes and kidnaps Laxmi once again. This time he falls in love with her and expects the same from her. After a few unsuccessful efforts, Arvind finally manages to kill Babu with the help of cops.
                            
Road happens to be a unconventional film for sure but lacks the impact. There isn't anything in the film that would keep one glued to the seats.

Verma and director Rajat Mukherjee deserve a decent pat for making a different movie. Road happens to be inspired by Steven Spielberg's English flick DUEL. It is shot in the beautiful locales of Rajasthan. The script by Rajneesh Thakur could be better. The story focusses too much on Manoj Bajpai.
            
Sandesh Shandilya's music is average, the two tracks that the audience would remember are 'Makhmali Ye Badan' and 'Kya Ye Pyaar Hai'. The background music (Amar Mohile) is superb and enhances the impact of several sequences. Cinematography (Sudeep Chatterjee) is fabulous. The

chase sequences (Allan Amin) are fantastic. The sound effects (Arun Nambiar) deserve a special mention.
           
Performance wise, Manoj Bajpai is undoubtedly the best. He seems to have put his heart and soul into this movie.Vivek Oberoi also impresses a great deal but he could have done better. Antara Mali copies Urmila and loses originality in the process. Rajpal Yadav and Markand Deshpande are OK.
