Under the Blue Sky

Set in the turbulent 1930s this is the story of a poor Chinese hawker selling his merchandise Chinese silk in the streets of Calcutta This was the time when China was repulsing a brutal attack of militarist Japan and when an outraged Rabindranath Tagore wrote to his friend in Japan the great poet Noguchi I wish your countrymen whom I love so much not success but remorse This film holds the dubious distinction of being the first to be banned though temporarily in independent India
