An unauthorised( because the main character here is referred to as Ajneesh) biopic on the much maligned guru of love, Acharya Rajneesh, this film follows the high-points of his life from his birth to his death. Unfortunately, its not presented with any great understanding of his version of spirituality. The narrative is rather glib and unaccomplished and his important preaching(s) are overlooked in favor of trivial ones. The charismatic and gifted speaker who could put his point across to people from all cultures and win them over as disciples, is presented with a tokenism that fails to befit his stature as a leader of a worldwide new spiritual political revolutionary movement. The narrative goes from amateurish theatrics to a relative calm before its desultory dip in cut-paste, stagey melodrama. Vivek Anand Mishra as Rajneesh during his teens to his forties, does fairly well in conveying a spiritual calm befitting a guru. The Cinematography manages to highlight some symbolic totems but the measure of his greatness/or not doesn’t come through at all!
