Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 15 (ANI/NewsVoir): Rock n Roll Music came into India from the West. At the time, Bollywood and Indian Classical music were hugely popular in the country, while Rock was almost unknown.
In the decades immediately following Independence, Rock culture was perceived as Counter-Cultural . 50 years on, that preconception has flipped: Rock is seen as popular music s Establishment in India.
This film tells the story of how Rock - a Western genre multiplied in India despite stiff cultural resistance from the country s rich classical heritage & Bollywood s musical dominance. It captures the journey from the roots of Indian Rock - the distant Big Bands of the 1930s - through India s Rock pioneers in the 60s, 70s and 80s to today s Rock Stars.
