Beyond the Clouds is the first film by Majidi to be made in India, who is much-loved by the Indian viewers for his stories of human relationships and values. “It is a pity if they can’t be seen or discovered,” he said, adding, “India is a land of stories. I am wondering why they can’t be translated into films.”For long, Majidi had harboured the dreams of making a movie based in India. Some believed that with Beyond The Clouds, Majidi has made a departure from his signature style of making subtle statements and used “Bollywood tools” like melodrama. A lover of Satyajit Ray’s work, Majidi is already working on his next, also set in India.
