This bit of Indo-French fluff is easy on the eye, but has little to it. Hari Om (the gangly Vijay Raaz) is a poor, Indian moto-rickshaw driver who is being pursued by local gangsters running the local protection racket. Isa is a rich, beautiful French tourist (the sexy Camille Natta) who fed up with sitting pretty at her distinterested, upper class boyfriend's (the hunky Jean Marie Lamour) business meeting with a rich raja takes off into the streets and hails Hari Om's rickshaw. When she misses her train, Isa's day sightseeing turns into a road trip through Rajasthan by rickshaw.

The film is like an extended advert for the Indian tourist board - lovely to look at with its colourful temples, buildings and cultural life - but ephemeral and far removed from reality. For instance, after a night of travelling India's bumpy, dusty roads, barely a hair on Isa's head is out of place. Still, that doesn't stop her peeling off those clothes for a mildly erotic scene where she bathes under running water in a quiet temple.

The impetuous Isa and the unlucky Hari are not a natural double act or even an obvious squabbling act, particularly since they struggle to communicate in sentences of more than one phrase of English. Their relationship is confusing - they often end up doing things that leave you scratching your head thinking, "Where did that come from?"

The film is billed as a romance, but the two travellers spend too long exchanging pleasantries and being nice to each other to get any sparks going. Lamour, as the boyfriend Benoit, who is in hot pursuit of Isa later in the film, is also a pretty dull match.
