The Roshans

The Roshans

The Roshans chronicles four generations of one of India's most recognizable film families. The narrative begins with Roshan Lal Nagrath, who rose to prominence as a composer in the 1950s and 1960s. It then explores the parallel careers of his sons—filmmaker Rakesh Roshan and composer Rajesh Roshan—before culminating in the global stardom of Hrithik Roshan. The docu-series intertwines personal anecdotes with professional milestones, using extensive archival footage, rare home videos, and intimate family interviews. It presents the Roshan family as both public figures and private individuals grappling with fame, legacy, and loss. Themes of artistic pressure, reinvention, and intergenerational influence recur throughout the episodes, reflecting how the family navigated changes in the Indian film industry.
