In the background of the rise of the International Hare Krishna movement in the 1970s, is a Montreal-based family of the Jaiswals, consisting of mom, dad, son, Prashant, and daughter, Jasbir. Due to irreconciable differences between Mr and Mrs Jaiswal, they separate, leaving Jasbir with dad, and Prashant with his mom. Eventually Prashant and his mom travel to India, leaving father and daughter behind in Montreal. Mr. Jaiswal re-marries, and brings his new wife to live in his home. Years later, Prashant has grown up to be a pilot. He has received a letter from his dad that Jasbir, who had rebelled and left home, is now located in Kathmandu, Nepal, with a group of hippies. Prashant undertakes to find his sister and hopefully get her back to the family. When Prashant lands in Kathmandu he does not find Jasbir, but instead finds Janice, who is indeed his sister with a new name. Janice has no recollection of her childhood, and is always in the company of fellow-hippies. Prashant now needs to bring Jasbir back, but for that he will have to travel deep into the drug induced dark world of Janice.

| User ReviewMythreyi MThe hippy era, the drugs, the music, the Hindu iconography, from the Indian point of view. |
| User ReviewAmir MOne of Bollywood's most controversial films is a heartbreaking critique of hippie culture during the early '70s. |
| User ReviewJitendragiri Gkathmandu landscape from 1970 very good. excellent songs. |
| User ReviewMichael DA story of a broken family and a brother's attempt to find his long lost sister, set to a drug-dazed hippied-out Kathmandu background. A pretty good flick overall. |
