A profound movie showing the life of Swami Chinmayanandaji. It shows the challenges faced by the great saint through his life transformation. An amazing piece of work that shall be remembered aeons. This is such a legendary soul shaking movie.
May the vedantic message of the Bhagawad Gita & Upanishads continue to flourish!

'On a Quest' is a beautifully shot movie which transports you the times when a young boy was alive with a burning quest in his heart to unveil the truth. A boy who was a non-believer and anti sadhus and all those dressed in ocher. It is the story of his journey honestly revealed through this movie.
The content of the movie sticks to his biography and presents a true account of a life well lived. The movie evokes soul stirring emotions, thoughtful reflections and inspiration to rise above your beliefs and seek a direct and intimate experience of Truth. Nevertheless, it leaves you with a sense of quest in your own life.
This movie is must watch for everyone, be it a seeker or non seeker, theist or atheist, believer or non believer. The narration and story is simple and yet profoundly moving and inspiring each time you watch.

The movie is gripping... the music, performance and dialogues are superb!
A story of a young seeker, honest and genuine, questioning every aspect of life, and once convinced, never looked back... He was never affected by "what will people think"... and such sincerity helped him dive deep into a world discovered by rare few... the world within.
It is a 'biopic' - true to its name... it is the story of every being... but do we have the courage to take this pilgrimage? Watch the movie and find out!!

Incredibly well presented biopic
suresh-3591622 January 2022
For early 20th century India, the evolution is a youth from south to become one of the Advaithic Vedanta teachers is an incredible story. This biopic walks us through the life journey of Balakrishnan Menon to Swami Chinmayananda with all the intricate details and the quest that transforms to a mission of bringing this ancient knowledge to all. A must see for the seekers of ancient Indian Wisdom.
Excellent biopic on a realised soul!
srinivasansubha9 January 2022
It is a 'must see' documentary on the God realised soul! His journey as a questioner of everyone & everything made him face great difficulties, that made him mentally stronger to cross all the hardships & gain the knowledge! Thanks to him we have SO many children of today in Bala Vihar classes all over the world! Ever grateful to him & his vision🙏!
Superlative!

This is a great movie! As I watched it, I was transported back in history and watched with fascination the journey of the man from Balakrishna Menon to Swami Chinmayananda. It is amazing to watch the transformation of a freedom fighter to a journalist to a renunciate monk. It was so nice to see the beginnings of Chinmaya Mission and how it was established.
We also get a glimpse of two more spiritual giants - Swami Sivananda ji (of Divine Life Society, Rishikesh) and Swami Tapovan Maharaj. The soil of India is indeed sacred - rendered so by the innumerable sages and saints that have lived in this land.

Epic movie on the life of a great saint!
bvclass9 January 2022
On A Quest is a beautiful depiction of the inspiring life and work of this modern day saint, Swami Chinmayananda ji! It is amazing to see a young atheist transform into one of the world's premier Vedantins, who devoted his life to delivering the powerful message of the Hindu scriptures to the common man in a language they can understand. This is a must watch for all and especially the youth who struggle to find ideals in today's world that live a life of purity, service and quest for pure knowledge. Swamiji's dynamic talks and authentic commentaries have inspired and helped millions of seekers as they walk the spiritual path. To be able to see a movie on the life of this great Mahatma is indeed a blessing!
Most inspiring movie for Youth
anilaniruddha9 January 2022
On a Quest is one of the most inspiring movie in recent times. The movie takes you through the journey of an ambitious youth from materialism to inner quest. It inspires modern day youth to lead a life of determination with introspection.
Biopic of a God Realized Saint
harish-932659 January 2022
It is rare for a god realized saint to walk into material world to help the souls to take spiritual path. Depicting such an eminent personality's biopic is the most difficult task for any film personality. The entire crew has done an exceptional job in taking up this daunting task.
It is a must watch for everyone. The most important aspect of this biopic is that there is absolutely no negativity anywhere. It makes it convenient to watch with entire family including the grand children.
