AN UNLIKELY CHEMISTRY

How can two people survive in
a marriage when one of them sees it as an impediment to personal growth?Well,
you keep trying and eventually figure ways of making it work. An Unlikely
Chemistry is the story of a couple—a scientist and a filmmaker—who battle
personal issues and external challenges and go on to build a life on their
own terms.The 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.
