    Awesome

    So beautifully made... featuring so many of the greatest maestros of east and west.... excellent cinematography and music.... Ravi Shankar's life has been so methodically depicted...

    This documentary outperforms in every segment.... the content, script, narration,cast,music,editing,cinematography....

    "Overwhelming"!!

    The best moments were when he met his 'Guru ma' Ustad Allauddin Khan's wife and she started weeping. At that time, He was separated from their daughter Smt.Annapurna Devi,another great musician, guru of Pt.Hariprasad Chaurasia,and Shankar looked really sad when he faced his 'Guru ma'....those emotions were real!!

    Thanks to Mr. Howard Worth

    One of the best documentaries I have ever seen.
