The Roshans

The Roshans is a beautifully constructed documentary, in 'chapters,' that shows the courage of consummate artists.

It is a privilege to learn and witness the gifts and talents of the sons of this family that represents the best of India after World War 2 and the ensuing partition.

Music is integral to India's culture and is a pillar of its film industry. Music anchors a film's story, characters, settings, and conflicts. It is such a joy to learn how great and memorable songs were conceived and composed.

It takes humility to share a family's history with its sacred experiences like marriage, pursuits in the arts, sacrifices, and triumphs.

The love and respect in The Roshan family is inspiring.

I found this mini series on the Roshans very endearing. I was not a fan of Hrithik Roshan but after watching the episode on him, everything about him made so much more sense. The magic starts with Roshan, the grandfather, the music director - his story on how he came to Mumbai and eventually made beautiful music. The story shifts to his two sons and the last episode is about Hrithik. None of the Roshans, including the wives, were hesitant to speak about their highs and lows. At this point, I must compliment Shashi Ranjan for being able to draw out these individuals into telling their stories. The four episodes are very smooth, not at all boring and it gives us an insight into the psychology of these men and it tells us how human, celebrities are.

The Roshans is an inspiring documentary that chronicles the journey of the Roshan family, highlighting their struggles, resilience, and ultimate triumph. Each episode is dedicated to a different member of the family, showcasing their individual contributions to music and cinema.

The documentary begins on a sweet and melodious note with the story of Mr. Roshan, who pursued his musical dreams and found success in Mumbai. The second episode focuses on Rajesh Roshan, exploring his unique ability to blend music seamlessly into storytelling and his distinctive working style.

As the series progresses, the penultimate episode delves into Rakesh Roshan's passion for cinema, his fearless approach to filmmaking, and the risks he has taken to bring his vision to life. The final episode centers around Hrithik Roshan, the third-generation superstar. It poignantly illustrates how he overcame immense personal challenges, including a curved spine, difficulties in achieving the right physique, dance limitations, and a stammering issue. His defining moment came when he won the trust of his father during his first on-screen shot in Bhagwaan Dada, marking the beginning of his illustrious career.

Throughout the documentary, emotions run high, complemented by beautiful melodies and special appearances from industry legends who share their admiration for the Roshan family. More than just a biographical series, The Roshans is a story of perseverance, passion, and the unwavering belief in one's dreams. Each episode carries its own unique essence, making it a compelling and heartwarming watch that won't take much of your time.

Overall, a must-watch for those who love music, cinema, and inspiring real-life stories.

The Roshans is a tribute to a family that is very talented and passionate about film making. I loved the mini-series, especially the first episode which is about Hrithik's grandfather - music director Roshan - the creator of masterpiece songs that I grew up listening to from my grandfather, my father and on radio.

The show is also a learning for all generations about how you need to overcome failure over and over until you find the right you, what your real passion is that will make you successful. Lot of family values, experiences, perspectives to see and learn from.

Yes, it misses out on counter perspectives of others about the Roshans but the fact is that noone can take away the masterpieces the 3 generations have created.

Unlike other documentaries this didn't seem like a self dabba or boasting but a genuine attempt to show what they really are. I still remember Hrithiks speach af the award after his dad got shot. The whole KNPH nostalgia. Goosebumps moment! Yes Rakesh Roshan was a flop actor and a producer and the fact that he didn't try to hide it was so genuine. But I just wished they showed a bit of their personal lives too and not just show bizz. Would have loved to know how their family bonding was, marriage, divorce, kids, a lil peak into that would have been even better. Over all har Roshan chiraag🔥 hai.
