Its title is Chalo Hamara Des: Journeys with Kabir & Friends, and I think it gives a very authentic view of Indian life, culture, people, surroundings, but most of all, of the spiritual dimension of music.
Kabir was a "Sant", a mystic poet, who used to compose poems and sing them to the people who would come and listen to him. He's very much loved by Indians and very much present in their lives as you can see from the footage, (even though he died in the 16th century).
Also, the singer we're following during the film, Prahlad Tipanya (see photo), is quite amazing.
ps: you will notice how the mahant of the Kabir Panth is completely off-track with his statements! Paradox: that's another name for India!:)
