Sameer Datta
Sameer Datta’s “6 Journey” (2025) doesn’t exactly play by the rules of your typical road trip movie. It’s more like if you took a handful of strangers, tossed them onto a bus, and just watched them ricochet off each other while life threw curveballs every ten minutes. The story chases six wildly different characters as they barrel down highways and backroads, each running from—well, something. Some lost love, a busted-up dream, maybe just the gnawing suspicion that life is passing them by.
The dynamics? Messy, loud, sometimes hilarious, sometimes painfully real. You’ve got an ex-rocker who never made it big, a runaway bride who’s got more baggage than the trunk can handle, a tech bro with zero people skills, a nurse who’s seen too much, an old-timer with some secrets, and a fresh-outta-college kid who’s convinced he’s got it all figured out (spoiler: he doesn’t). They’re forced to share space, stories, and snacks—and, as the miles add up, so do the revelations.
Honestly, the film doesn't waste time on big set pieces. It’s about the little moments—the awkward silences, the cheap motel breakfasts, the fights over music playlists. The trip itself turns into this weird, accidental therapy session where walls come down and masks slip off. By the time they reach their final stop, nobody’s really the same, and neither are their ideas of what ‘home’ means. If you’re into messy, honest looks at people trying to get their act together, “6 Journey” is your jam.
