HARE KRISHNA! The Mantra, the Movement and the Swami who started it all has been sweeping the nation by storm. It is now playing in all major cities in Hindi and English: Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Bangalore, Ujjain, Hyderabad, Pune, Karnataka, Chennai and more! Screenings are now happening for one week in 50 theaters throughout India with a total of 700 shows – this is a record in Indian cinema for the docudrama genre.

In Calcutta on December 18th, due to popularity, a multiplex theater will be showing the film in three theaters at one time! While in Bangalore, they have sold out most of their showings and are requesting more.
