Everything about the tour inside the Darjeeling train was great. But.... the production designer Mark Friedberg at around 1:48 of the video talks about the portraits in the bar. ha ha ha....
What can I say ?... Those were not maharajas but the Indian Politician during and post independance, so they are like the founding fathers of America.
Secondly naming the train Darjeeling and having Rajasthani artwork all over it is also contradictory since Rajasthan is in the far North-West of India and Darjeeling which is a hill-station within Bengal (capital of Bengal is Kolkata or Culcutta) which is in the Eastern part of India.
Anyways, I wish they had done some research rather than just picture the romantic view of India which is in all we get in Hollywood movies.
