The storyline of the film goes thus — The son of the tabla legend Ustad Alla Rakha, Ustad Zakir Hussain began his performing career as child prodigy. Later, through path-breaking experiments, he dramatically enlarged the scope of his chosen instrument. Today, he is celebrated internationally as composer and a star performer.
The Speaking Hand charts Zakir’s growth from the bylanes of Bombay to his current fame as a world musician. We see him perform with the many legends of the Indian classical world. We hear him explain the intricacies of the table.
