The Beatles and India (2021)

Fairly accurate and well made until random Indians were added

[3/10 · 1 January 2023]

The documentary is fairly entertaining even for those who know nothing about Beetles or India. What I found especially disappointing was introduction of Indian people who berate Indian philosophy and traditions. The fact that there was quite a lot that Beetles and other non-indians that gained from indian traditions should let it stand. Since this was made by a British and Indian director it seems that that it's the Indian director's doing to present the negative aspects. Coming to other aspects there are very nice visuals for a fairly low budget documentary. I wish they directors had done more analysis and not pulled in random people who were really not directly involved.
