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.
