‘The Roshans’ docu-series review: An expected trip down memory lane

Successful Bollywood families carry a certain kind of myth that fuels an interest in their inner workings. As Asha Bhosle remarks early in The Roshans, “It is not usual that an artist’s entire family turn out to be artists.but it happened with the Roshans.” Netflix’s latest docu-series tries to parse through decades of filmmaking that has defined the Roshan family, but ends up with a saccharine recollection of the good times. Beginning the Roshans’ journey from Roshan Nagrath, the docu-series brings together a crew of people who worked with him or were inspired by him, to speak to the music director’s vast body of work. The Roshans Director: Shashi Ranjan Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Rakesh Roshan, Rajesh Roshan, and others Episodes: 4 Runtime: 45 - 50 minutes Storyline: The nearly eight-decade-long journey of three generations Roshan family in Bollywood, as told by their contemporaries, friends, and the Roshans themselves. The camera switches from one famous industry veteran to the other as they speak about Rajesh Roshan following in his father’s footsteps to take up a successful career in music direction.
