Rediscovering India

Very nice movie about a bunch of students and their teacher traveling across India on a shoestring budget and recording their experiences. Great effort - a real inspiration. The mosaic score is original. They've spanned the whole country and the love for their country and each other is clear. Funny moments too. Very interesting. Worth watching. Full disclosure - I am related to one of the movie makers and so know a little about the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into its making. Really an effort worth supporting / not just for the movie quality but also for the courage and audacity to attempt a project like this.

Very inspiring.

I hope others discover and enjoy this movie too.

Saw the movie recently in Bulgaria of all places.

This is a road trip movie with a difference, when the producer, Benny John, takes four young and completely inexperienced film enthusiasts around India making the film as they go.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and would love to make the same trip myself. If only I had the time.

If you are thinking of going to India, as we are, it's well worth watching. The film makers cover the whole country and one gets an insiders view, a view that one would not necessarily get from a western production.

It's a documentary with a difference and Benny John and his young crew deserve praise for a job well done.

There have been many times I have had ideas. Some good. Some weak. Never worked on any of them. Then I saw the film "Rediscovering India" at a friend's house. I am not a film fanatic. I have never enjoyed documentary films much. I have never been very interested in India. But I loved this film. I loved that this film was fun to watch. I loved what they showed in the film. I loved how they showed it. It is casual. It is a little amateurish in its feel. I think those things work for this film. I loved the songs. I loved the photography. I am in awe of the people who made this film. That brings me back to the beginning. What this film has done for me is to tell me that anybody can do whatever they feel like doing. I hope young people in France - my adopted country, or in Poland, where I am from, think of making a film like this. This film gave me the strength to believe in small dreams of mine and big dreams too, when I have them. And, now I want to see more documentary films. This film has converted me.

When I started watching the first thing that crossed my mind was yet another travelogue…but no it was truly a re-discovery from the point that for the first time I felt there was so much colors in India which we as Indians, sometimes take for granted but now I feel like flaunting it. It's a movie that every Indian should watch and should feel proud of. The music is excellent. Overall it was a feel good experience… Not only does it bring a fresh perspective to the whole notion of this being a country of varied and vivid cultures but also reinforces the fact the to experience it you have to travel through it..... So having seen this, through this filmmaker's eyes I plan to retrace their steps to understand and experience it my way... So here's bon voyage....

I have enjoyed watching Rediscovering India for its naked emotions and a honest story narrated as it is. If you don't watch documentaries, you should try watching this one for its stories with uncountable colours, emotions, myths, tradition, culture etc. It has some of the very beautiful shots and and wonderful songs. It is no less than a Bollywood movie just missing the star factor. The stories are simple and narrated with a sense of belonging. The characters are brought up in a beautiful light. Although more places could have been covered. Places less heard of should have been considered. Even after spending so many years in India, travelling through ten states from the north to south, I still could feel the difference in which it has portrayed India. Overall it was a good effort.
