Action-filled adaptation of the Sanskrit epic “Ramayana”

The tribal leader Veera is a terrorist to the authorities and a hero to the poor rural population. To take revenge on the police he kidnaps Ragini, the wife of the chief of police. A chase through the jungle ensues with the violence on both sides obscuring the dividing line between good and evil. Mani Ratman is one of the most important directors in contemporary Indian cinema. In his modern day adaptation of the Sanskrit epic Ramanaya he combines action with grandiose song and dance scenes together with mythical landscape shots. With the superstars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Vikram.

Red Baraat

Reminiscent of a marching band from New Orleans that has taken a wrong turn and ended up at a wedding in the Punjab: Formed in 2008 by the highly active New York drummer and percussionist Sunny Jain, Red Baraat dress up an old style in new clothes: Dhol & Brass. With his Dhol drum, Jain rules over the eight piece group's concentrated brass power. Infectious, sweaty, hypnotic - they call it Brooklyn bhangra. The band recently released their third album “Gaadi of Truth.”

Swami

Danceable between tradition and futurism: Since the early 80's Punjabi music has been mixed with rock, hip hop, breakbeat and sound system culture in the communities of London, Birmingham and Manchester, long before Punjabi MC brought bhangra and desi to an international audience. Swami, founded by the London producer Diamond Duggal, have made a name for themselves in the scene with "Desi Rock" (2006) and continue to thrill fans from San Francisco and Glastonbury to Mumbai.
