For the past decade every year in Shillong, 62-year-old hippie Lou Majaw and his band Ace of Spades has been performing a tribute concert with their rendering of Dylan songs.
The film is about this man and how his annual celebration of Dylan's music has made him into a small-town hero in the rock capital of the country.
“Forever Young can be called a cinematic version of a Dylan song, evocative and allusive, and to some extent purposefully ambiguous.”
-The Indian Express
“The film takes the audience through Majaw’s energetic gigs to his escape to Calcutta and falling in and out of love. The camera steals a few private moments — of Majaw sitting by himself, or with his wife Tina and son who he has named Christopher Dylan. …. And ends with schoolgirls dancing to Majaw’s music”
-The Telegraph
