One day one wise man and American Filmmaker Vikram Gandhi, decided to take a deep look into what obsesses people with Guru. One day he decided to see for himself if Gurus were real or just full of it.
Let me introduce you to Kumare a wise guru from the East who indoctrinated a group of followers in the West. Vikram Gandhi impersonated a spiritual leader for the sake of a social experiment designed to challenge one of the most widely accepted taboos: that only a tiny "1%" can connect the rest of the world to a higher power. Concealing his true identity from everyone he meets, Kumare forges profound and spiritual connections with people from all walks of life.
At the same time, in the absurdity of living as an entirely different person, Vikram, the filmmaker, is forced to confront difficult questions about his own identity. At the height of his popularity, Kumare unveils his true identity to a core group of disciples who are knee-deep in personal transformation. Will they accept his final teaching? Can this illusion reveal a greater spiritual truth? KUMARE, at once playful and profound, is an insightful look at faith and belief.
