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.

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.
