Leaving Home (Hindi)

Indian Ocean is unarguably India’s most significant band. The film has been made to celebrate this once-in-a-couple-of-generations musical phenomenon. The idea is not merely to document but to provoke, enrich and, above all, entertain. That is why the film has been made for the big screen.

Leaving Home is, very simply, the story of four men who make music together in a contemporary India where commercial concerns are overriding. Their inspirational story of how they kept the creative fires burning without compromising their essential vision is told with the same energy and lightness of touch their unique music is imbued with.

Unless you have an aversion to the Indian Ocean brand of music, this ringside, often touching view of the lives and music of a bunch of some of the most talented and original musicians from our country today is a must-watch for every music lover, and this in spite of a few downers, the prime one being that the personal lives are just touched upon, but not too deeply looked into.
