The Darjeeling Limited is a drama-comedy film that tells the story of a journey through India by three brothers, played by Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman. The fifth feature film by director Wes Anderson, it was written by him, Roman Coppola, and Schwartzman. The film also stars Waris Ahluwalia, Amara Karan, Barbet Schroeder and Anjelica Huston, with Natalie Portman, Irfan Khan and Bill Murray in cameo roles.
Natalie Portman, who appeared in a cameo, traveled to the film's location in Jodhpur, India, to shoot for about half an hour and then spent 10 days exploring India afterward.
Wes Anderson said that part of his inspiration for Darjeeling Limited, The (2007) was River, The (1951), and more specifically that he owes a debt of gratitude to Martin Scorsese for screening the film personally for him.
Director Wes Anderson chose not to have an original score for his film, opting, instead, to borrow original music from Indian films including those from legendary Indian auteur Satyajit Ray's films.
