The Beatles and India / Renoir Pictures presents A Silva Screen Production ; director, Ajoy Bose ; produced by Reynold D'Silva.
Rare archival footage, recordings and photographs, eye-witness accounts, and expert comments along with location shoots across India, bring alive the fascinating journey of George, John, Paul, and Ringo from their high octane celebrity live in the West to a remote Himalayan ashram in search of spiritual bliss that inspires an unprecedented burst of creative songwriting. It is the first serious exploration of how India shaped the development of the greatest ever rock band and their pioneering role in bridging two vastly different cultures. Director Ajoy Bose was a teenage rebel in Calcutta in love with the Beatles when they came to India. His long mop and the psychedelic flowers painted on his shirt imitating the Fab Four led to fierce fights with his bureaucrat father. In an interesting quirk of fate half a century later as an established journalist and author, Bose was writing a book, Across the Universe to mark the 50th anniversary of The Beatle's historic trip to Rishikesh for the world's largest publishing house Penguin Random House.
