  JHAPTAL A DOCUMENTARY

IN TEN BEATS

explores the spiritual, artistic, and educational philosophy at the root of the world's most evolved musical tradition, the sacred and syncretic art of Raga & Tala, as it calls for the progress of culture and peaceful development between "East" and "West" today. Research and production encompasses 100 + interviews with the maestros, gurus, their students, and more, through concerts, classes, and special moments between India, the UK, and USA.

Spurred by the desire to learn music, to find God, and to better understand India's evolutionary tradition of artistic education, director Utpal Devi takes us on a journey across oceans to talk with Shastriya Sangeet, and many extraordinary musicians you may have never heard before. Through her energetic and engaging lens, we look backstage, listen onstage, and travel offstage to learn about the basics of Raga & Tala and the Guru Shishya Parampara today; while meeting the musicians in their environment, and glimpsing the Hindustani culture, the spiritual brotherhood of Hinduism and Islam, in a way that audiences rarely have access to.
