The story line is essentially a string of parables - almost all of which are well known to any Sikh but would be instructive to anyone new to this topic. The music is perhaps the best aspect of this film. The sets, costumes and locations are well done. Guru Nanak's image is created through CGI, but all other characters are played live by actors. The film is essentially a straight line biography. The producer of this film has made a remarkable effort to create a film of high technical standards to address this. ![]() Guru Nanak is not very well understood outside the Sikhs themselves and northern India. It is too bad that some religious sensitivities in India have kept this film from wide circulation so far. I'm not changing my rating officially, but I would consider it a 7 at this point. I wish for everyone's sake that the producers find a way to make the original version available - at least outside India. ![]() I was lucky to have watched it during its initial release in 2015. The film has been significantly harmed by this editing. ![]() ***UPDATE: The film was re-released after significant editing to placate some orthodox sensitivities in India.
