About the movie
Directed by Mahesh Nair and Shreedevi Thacker, RAGA REVELRY (90 mins) is a documentary that introduces the centuries-old tradition of North Indian classical music, often referred to as Raga music and the centuries old tradition. For thousands of years, musicians have dedicated their lives to preserving this unwritten heritage that evokes a vivid range of emotions and moods and invites the listener to go beyond a limited perspective of self-awareness.
Performer and musicologist Vijay Kichlu’s journey to create a permanent sanctuary for this valuable inheritance, transplants the viewer to the center of Indian spirituality and culture. Heart-felt performances and interviews from legendary musicians along with the joyful camaraderie between the artists, unfolds the Rasa, the essence or soul of this music.
Woven into the narrative are fundamental music appreciation concepts of melody (raga) and rhythm (tala) with demonstrations by maestros. The film traces the evolution of this ancient sound, intended to praise the numinous from the origin, and is an invitation to deepen the connection to our spiritual selves.
The educational quality of the film is recommended by India’s premier national arts academy, the Sangeet Natak Academy.
