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.
