The Answer

This movie allowed me to have an further glimpse and experience of what it was like to be in Yogananda's presence as well as what it means to be a disciple dedicated to fulfilling a guru's mission. Victor Bannerjee channeled the essence of this great yogi, bringing to life on screen the power and presence of Yogananda.

For those who have been touched by Paramhansa Yogananda this movie gives fabulous insights into his ways of teaching and guiding students and disciples. Lovingly portrayed by Victor Banerjee, this movie is well worth seeing.

"Spiritual movies" can be problematic. The portrayal of saintly people often lacks any real energy or inspiration. The Answer is quite well done on all levels. We are all on a spiritual search whether we know it or not! This movie can inspire a search for the deeper meaning of life - what more can one ask?

Bollywood should undoubtedly learn a few lessons from director #PavanKaul on how to make a genuine biopic. #TheAnswer is the story of a young n restless American who shuns all material comforts n sets out to discover inner peace. He keeps traveling n finally meets #Paramahansayogananda. He surrenders himself completely to the guru n becomes his steadfast disciple. Many years later, this american comes to be known as swami kriyananda. Good performances by Banerjee n Gulaptis. The locations, costumes, music n dialogues seem authentic. Worth watching. Thanks to #pvrcinemas for screening the film. Rating 3/5.

It's hard to play a sat guru but Victor Banerjee does an incredible job. He is funny, down to earth, natural, powerful, and believable in the role of Yogananda. You feel as if you are at the feet of the guru. Leon G conveys young Swami Kriyananda's sincerity, enthusiasm, and love for his guru. Highly recommended for anyone wanted to know what it was like to be with the Master.
