an audience? To find an answer, the film enters 6-A Akash Ganga, where resides one of India\u2019s most renowned classical musicians, a matchless guru\u2014Annapurna Devi. Maestros waited for years for her to accept them as disciples. But in the mid-1950s, she vowed never to perform in an effort to save her marriage to the world-renowned musician, Ravi Shankar, who had grown insecure with the acclaim she was receiving.
