This movie, The World's Fastest Indian, let me clarify at the outset, for those who havent observed already.. ;) has nothing to do with Narain Karthikeyan whatsoever, and thankfully so(no offence meant!!).


Its about a man who sets out to realise a long standing dream. Its the story of an ageless man with an unbreakable spirit, about his passion for biking (in every sense of the word) and his unrelenting grit and determination. With dashes of great subtle humour and lovely moments, it is definitely a must watch !! ...
it would be criminal not to mention that Anthony Hopkins has done an outstanding job.... The character he plays in the movie oozes light hearted charm, humour and exhibits so precisely the undying, single minded focus of an old man who is young at heart (he really personifies that phrase) !!



I dont really know if it won too many awards, but not many people have heard of the movie, which is quite unfortunate.... I was lucky to get the movie from OVERDRIVE (the car n bike magazine) as a gift... In a way, i think it deserves cult status... i think that it's the real "The Man , The Machine" kind of a movie...

Its not really an out & out bike enthusiast sort of movie.. It is, but to me, its more an inspiring portrayal of the human spirit and what it can achieve...For a biker, this movie will inspire you to put your boots on and hit the road !! For others, it will do the exact same thing, in whatever it is that you pursue.



If this one doesn't stir your spirit and rekindle your appetite for life, nothing will, believe me !! ... and ill let out a secret, parts of it moved me to tears and gave me goosebumps ...

And TAKE NOTE HERE, like the caption says it is BASED ON ONE HELL OF A TRUE STORY (there are minor differences) !!

Cheers to the human spirit !!!
