Editorial Review:

Amazon.comMusic plays a huge part in director Wes Anderson's meticulously crafted world. For this movie set in India, he's come up with a typically wide-ranging, mind-boggling soundtrack largely culled from the mid-'60s and early '70s, despite the fact that the film is set in the present. Though Indian cinema has come to mean Bollywood for most Americans, Anderson pays tribute to art filmmaker Satyajit Ray by including music from some of his movies, mines the early (1963-1970), lesser-known oeuvre of James Ivory, and features traditional Indian tunes. This may throw fans of Bollywood's more frantic style at first (even if the upbeat go-go 'Typewriter Tip, Tip, Tip,' co-sung by superstar Asha Bhosle, gets close), but the music's eerie charm works in insidious ways. British Invasion pop, an enduring love of Anderson's, is represented by obscure songs from well-known combos (three cuts from the Kinks' 1970 album Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One), as well as obscure songs from obscure performers, like Peter Sarstedt's 1969 nugget 'Where Do You Go To (My Lovely).' Add a fantastic Rolling Stones pop tune from 1965, a couple of Western classical tracks, a popular French hit by Joe Dassin, and you have a CD that's all over the map yet oddly consistent in its eccentricity. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very nice!!!
I loved this album!!! It's a good idea buying the original soundtrack after watching the movie.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Darjeeling CD... over a cup of Darjeeling Tea
I really enjoyed watching The Darjeeling Limited. Like all Wes Anderson films it was funny, irreverant and at moments, touching. The soundtrack for his films are all usually pretty good. The thing to remember about this soundtrack, is that the "funny" doesn't come through on the cd. What does come through is the irreverant mix of indian and western songs, and the mood that it invokes. That mood is a stong yet calm, peaceful set of music. Perfect for that long drive, or an evening at home with a glass of wine.

Don't believe the product tag that says this is "bollywood". Think of Satyajit Ray movies (and music) as the Akira Kurasawa of India.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not as good as being there
Loved the movie but the music sans the whole experience not as good worth picking up for some of the French gems though.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Indian Songs
This is a goldmine for a Satyajit Rai beginner. Now, not only do you have the music in an accessible format, but the movies from which the songs were selected are listed on the CD case as well. Happy hunting! Watch out though, some of the songs aren't really from the listed films. For example, "Charu's Theme" is from the movie "Charulata," not "Joi Baba Felunath." Loved the movie (the art!) and the music.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Darjeeling = road trip
Even if you didn't see the movie, you would absolutely enjoy the soundtrack. The compilation moves you through feelings of anticipation, exuberance, and redemption all as the same time. Even if at times you don't understand some of the words or know the song, you will still feel yourself immersed in the emotion. Good music to listen to while on a road trip. Excellent choice.
