This is one of the movies that changes the way one approaches life. The dedication and the stubbornness shown by Gaurav in making this film is extraordinary. Another great thing about this film is that it ends up appealing at multiple levels - not just to hard-core bikers (though there is plenty for them to see). People in different walks of life can draw immense inspiration from watching this documentary. I just hope he can better this effort in future creations of his.
The film is not just about a ride - it is also about people, places and experiences. The best thing is that there is a wonderful balance between all elements that make it a real success. A special mention also has to be made about the music that is so catchy that it is impossible to get out of the head.

Plot summary
Riding Solo is a film about filmmaker Gaurav Jani's brave solo motorcycle journey from Mumbai to one of the remotest places in the world, the Changthang Plateau in Ladakh bordering China. The film is even more extraordinary for the fact that Jani was a one man camera crew unit who loaded his bike with 300 kg of equipment/supplies and set off on a journey to one of the world's most difficult terrains.

An excellent, heartwarming and inspiring account of a solo journey

The effort that must have gone into this film is really very awe-inspiring. One often hears of epic motorcycle journeys, some more remarkable than this. But no others have been as carefully and lovingly recorded as this. It seems as though you can follow the film maker's journey to self-realization. When you discover what this journey means, he is as surprised as you are. Yeah, every road film says that the journey didn't turn out at all as expected and that they learned so much more about the world, but, gosh, you really believe this guy. You don't see or hear as much about the bike as I would have liked. It seems to mean more to him than he's ready to say. I think that would have added another dimension to the film. Truly heart warming, though, and very well filmed.
