Directed by first-timer Gyan
Correa, The Good Road won the National Award for Best Gujarati Film and
stars Ajay Gehi, Keval Katrodia and Sonali Kulkarni. Three intersecting story
arcs in the film deal with a truck driver planning to fake his own death and
collect on insurance, an urban couple who are separated from their young son on
holiday, and an 11-year-old girl looking for her grandmother.
NFDC-produced The Good
Road has an Oscar connection in sound engineer Resul Pookutty who won an
Academy Award for his work in the accolade-sweeping Slumdog Millionaire. The
Oscar selection committee was headed by Bengali filmmaker Goutam Ghose.
'The Good Road'
was picked over 'The Lunchbox', 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', 'Ship of
Theseus', 'English Vinglish', 'Vishwaroopam' and 'Shabdo'.
