But I think the movie can stand on its own. It's a little silly that he feels the need to 'package' it in this 'different' label.

I'm mildly apprehensive of directors like Q who revel in the 'different' tag and are often dictated by the need to maintain that tag. The trailer, Q's statements that he hates all of Satyajit Ray and your accurate observation of the movie being set in Howrah without showing the Bridge are quite symbolic of this. And when difference becomes the prime underpinning for a movie, it's a problem because it often takes away from an honest story. It’ll be an interesting film to watch.
