EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI

Translating an interesting idea into a full fledge film is not an easy job. The job becomes easier if you have a tight script, which is the right transformation of a brimming idea. However, this is not the case with Via Darjeeling.

Ankur (Kay Kay Menon) gets disappeared in Calcutta on his way back from Darjeeling where he had gone with his newly wed wife Rimli (Sonali Kulkarni) for their honeymoon. Robin Bose, a clueless yet cool inspector takes up the case. Rimi hints suspicions towards an unknown man Bonny (Parvin Dabbas) who was following her in Darleejing and a taxi driver who had a fight with Ankur.

Two years later, the unsolved mystery of missing Ankur travels from Darjeeling to Calcutta looking for answers which are nowhere to be found. Inspector Robin Bose meets some of his friends (Rajat Kapoor, Simone Singh, Proshanth Narayanan, Sandhya Mridul) and narrates them the entire tale. His friends now try to bring in new dimensions to the unsolved mystery by narrating unforeseen circumstances.
