Synopsis

On any other night Rajesh would have fallen asleep by now in the cafeteria to sounds of old folk tales on his battered walkman. Today however is the day he’s leaving. He’s decided, he will drive his taxi into the Bombay night, wherever daylight breaks is where he’s going to stop and start anew. Sounds pretty straight forward. If only the eccentric masseur who has appointed himself position of new best friend to our hapless cabby can convince Rajesh that leaving Bombay at 6 AM won’t get him past the city limits, he may actually stand a chance.

The crackly old folk tales Rajesh listens to punctuate the narrative, guiding him like an unwritten map as he embarks on this haphazard road trip into the weird and wonderful. A trip that only gets stranger by the arrival of a stowaway hidden under a pile of fruit in the back seat...

Critical Response

"There is evidence of better things to come from British Asian directors, however, as Karan Kandhari demonstrates with Bye Bye Miss Goodnight. Offering a uniquely avant-garde snapshot of modern urban India, this visually ambitious road movie belies its modest budget to chronicle the unlikely encounter between a daydreaming Mumbai cabby and a pregnant, hitchhiking free spirit." - David Parkinson, BBC Film [http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/festivals/bite_the_mango_2005.shtml]
