This film is dedicated to the unsung hero, Nalin Kumar Pandya a.ka. Nalin Pan. He has made critically acclaimed movies Samsara and Valley of Flowers. Born in remote village in Gujarat, he is a man who made his own destiny and created a niche for himself.

Samsara is the tale of a Lama who has been recognized for his works at the monastery but his heart wishes to renounce the monastery and go live the life of an ordinary man. Just the reverse of what Buddha did; and what he encounters on this journey is what this tale is all about. Shot in the beautiful locales of Ladakh, with absolutely alluring back ground score and cinematography, Samsara is a delight for the eye as well as the soul. With traces of spiritualism, it does not get preachy and does not delve on complex dialog constructions, instead, the movie like a fluid maneuvers its path intricately and subtly. A must see for those who have an appetite for the Buddhist philosophy and way of life.
