520 _aThe scientist Mohana stands up to a crippled system determined to discover an Ayurvedic drug for cancer. On the threshold of global recognition she is compelled to abandon her research due to the biases of a system plagued by caste-based reservations. The filmmaker Krishnaswamy provoked by a distorted American documentary on India vows to make an authentic film on Indian history heritage and culture. A vow he fulfils with the release of his four-hour film Indus Valley to Indira Gandhi distributed by Warner Bros. Krishnaswamy and Mohana then join hands to weave an illustrious tapestry of over two hundred non-fiction films and a dozen television serials. However their path is littered with politics controversies legal battles and societal prejudices but their belief in righteousness and spirituality helps them overcome these hurdles. An Unlikely Chemistry is the remarkable autobiography of a couple—their love and their journey of nearly five decades. Within these pages there’s also the veritable magic and nostalgia of a bygone era.
