After revealing shocking injustice and intolerance in Indian courtrooms (2014 debut "Court") multi-talented Chaitanya Tamhane creatively plays complex melodies and rituals of traditional Indian music, which has so many uncovered surprises and mysteries. Prepare for extraordinarily detailed lesson about Khyal (a classical Indian singing style) with sounds of different ragas, which combines technical and ideational ideas of music.

Dreamy musical drama is mixed as meditative hypnotic wandering and riding on the streets of modern Mumbai. Mexican master Alfonso Cuaron joined as executive producer before a world premiere at the 77th Venice IFF, where the Best Screenplay award and the FIPRESCI Prize has roared with lions.
