Based on the travelogues of Russian merchant traveller Afanasy Nikitin, " A Journey Beyond the Three Seas" is now considered a Russian literary monument
Already widely travelled Nikitin compiled travel notes during his fascinating journey to India in 1466-1472. . He wrote with a strong individual, authorial tone his writing is full of lyrical digressions and autobiographic passages, his worldly insightful reflections are the essence, the heart of this exceptional film.
A wonderful Indo-Soviet film co-production between the state-owned "Mosfilm Studio" and the "Naya Sansar International" production house.who in close partnership construct a uniquely creative story rich in cultural detail. It is an evocative superbly composed adaptation, an adventurous exciting historical drama.. Aka "Pardesi" the classic film is an outstanding epic production with a magnificent cast and crew, beautiful music and striking cinematography. Highly Recommended viewing !!
