Description
In The Journey (Sancharram), beautiful young Kiran falls in love with her lifelong best friend, the effervescent Delilah. But in their idyllic Indian village, tradition still dictates that a girl marry a boy chosen by her family. With longing in her heart, Kiran refrains from expressing her love. However, one day her neighbor Rajan comes to Kiran and asks her to help him compose love letters to Delilah. Thinking this will serve as an outlet for her feelings Kiran agrees, and writes passionate, poetic love letters to Delilah in Rajan’s name.
Delilah, however, suspects that Rajan might not be the author, and soon discovers her friend's secret. Kiran fears that this will end their friendship, but Delilah thrills her by confessing similar feelings. They somewhat recklessly begin a lesbian relationship, and their deep emotion soon becomes obvious to their families. As the whispering begins in town, Delilah’s mother confronts her and demands that the relationship end. Worse, to save her reputation, she quickly arranges a marriage for her daughter.
Kiran is devastated, and tries to convince Delilah to run away with her. When she realizes that Delilah isn’t going to defy her mother, Kiran is literally driven to a precipice where she must decide her fate...

Touching movie,
By Justinthyme (Manitoba, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journey (DVD)
I found this movie to be a very sensitive and compassionate. Two girls growing up together and falling in love. They go through not just the trials and tribulations of a first lesbian love but also a whole bunch of problems that people in North America could never relate to. Well made and beautiful to watch.

"Krishna, You Do Not Know Me" ~ Transcending Country And Culture,
By Brian E. Erland "Rainbow Sphinx" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Journey (DVD)
Note: Malayalam with English subtitles.A timeless tale about two souls that awaken to love but have the misfortune of being of the same gender in a country and culture hostile to such "unnatural feelings." Kiran (Susahini V. Nair) and Delilah (Sharauiti Menon) are two naturally beautiful, exotic young women with the most expressive, enchanting faces ever captured on film. They are absolutely magical together. My favorite sequence in the film is Kiran's mystical dream of Delilah dancing in a darkend room. Like Kali in her most compassionate and desirable form, Delilah flashes in and out of the shadows as the drum beat intensifies. Delilahs' movements combined with the music and her transfixed facial expression is mesmerizing. Upon awakening in a cold sweat Kiran is now fully aware that her affection for Delilah is more that just friendship. In contrast to such interior dream images, the cinematography of the mundane world surrounding the two lovers is bright, vibrant and textured. The sight of these two exotic and graceful native beauties moving hand and hand across the lush, tropical Indian landscape is a wonder to behold. Complimented by an equally impressive soundtrack you will soon find yourself lost within the story and terrain. Whether you're sympathetic to the subject matter or not, the pure, deep felt emotion Kiran and Delilah share for each other will touch your soul and transcend any personal judgement on the subject. Beautiful, Poetic, Sensitive and unexpectedly Mystical, get ready to enjoy a nearly flawless production! My Highest Recommendation!! 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful

The classic Indian film turns lesbian!,
By queer movie lover - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Journey (DVD)
Like the controversial and mesmerizing film "Fire," "The Journey" captures a love story that few Indian films ever have. It's a compelling and beautiful story of two young women -- two childhood friends raised in a village that thrives on tradition -- who fall in love. With beautiful scenery, a provocativelook into the conflicts of love and cultural tradition, and a simply touching tale of two people falling in love, "The Journey" is a most-enjoyable watch. Kiran and Delilah are both stunning young women approaching the end of high school. While their parents are busy thinking about arranging the girls' marriages, and the local boys are concentrating on finding their wives, Kiran and Delilah embark on their own path toward toward love and happiness.....with each other. Finding conflict with not only their families and village, the girls are forced to deal with a love that they have always thought sinful. Provocative and sensitive, political and beautiful, "The Journey" joins a small group of films that bring queer love into a traditional eastern story. 25 of 31 people found the following review helpful

Leaves you longing for what it could have been . . .,
By Rose "Bed of Roses" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Journey (DVD)
If you've watched "Fire" directed by Deepa Metha, and are expecting "The Journey" to be something that could begin to transcend the beauty and depth of "Fire", then you will be sorely disappointed. While the actresses were beautiful to watch, this movie left much to be desired. The story was choppy at best and did not flow well at all. I have never had a problem with subtitles as long as the story moves me, but at the end there will be too many unanswered questions that you're left with. There simply was not enough time spent on the development of the two central characters, not enough to make you feel that they were in love. One of the central characters is a writer/poet, but only for a few seconds do we get to relish in those words which could have helped the audience feel all the more closer to the love story itself. While what fleeting romance we did get to see was tasteful and tender, there was not one kissing scene. I have never needed sex scenes to be convinced, but for that single notion of that romantic first kiss. I felt cheated. For those of you who know the movie "Fire", the ending was everything! Everything they captured in the end of "Fire"-cinematography, the location, the rain, the powerful music that left you with chills down your spine, and the feeling that you couldn't move or breathe because what you experienced was so incredibly beautiful and transcendent. When you watch "The Journey", you will want to watch "Fire" again to appreciate what a stunning work of art "Fire" still is to this day, it's unsurpassed. "The Journey" is worth a run through once for comparison, but not much else.
