The Beatles and India

CriticsCritics: 95
AudienceAudience: 6.3

Explores the The Beatles’ love affair with India, its religions and its culture and, in turn, the impact of their music and style on a young generation in India.

My take

A fascinating documentary exploring the Beatles' profound spiritual journey to India and their transformative encounter with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1968. The film captures how Eastern philosophy and meditation reshaped their music and worldview during a pivotal moment in rock history. Narrated with nostalgic reverence, it celebrates how four Liverpool lads became vessels for cultural fusion and spiritual awakening.
