AN UNLIKELY CHEMISTRY

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.
