As fans of global cinema + all-round creative nosey parkers- this film gets our instant attention for 2 reasons:

Firstly, because it was recommended to resident journo Vin Sharma during an interview with Steve 'Chandrasonic' Savale from legendary music band ADF, who interestingly feature heavily on the soundtrack and also in the plot of the film. It's quite obvious that their sound both influences the plot and enhances the general style of the film... (and it must be added- the young kid playing the lead role has an uncanny resemblance to former front MC from ADF- 'Deedar Zaman')  

Secondly, because we have just watched the trailer and the film looks and sounds incredible. If all you associate South Asian cinema with is fluffy 'Bollywood' (which in no way would we criticize based on some of the very diverse recent releases we have seen!) then look out for this independent and quite 'alternative' release.

We particularly love the fact that it is shot in Black and white throughout, adding an art house neo-noir style which blends well with the quite gritty scenes of the film. It certainly helps it stand out from the shadow of Bollywood and we look forward to catching it soon.
