In an effort to keep independent cinema alive

Off beat screenings

In an effort to keep independent cinema alive and offer alternates to Hollywood or Bollywood screenings, NCPA holds a monthly film screening. On offer next week, are two interesting films. The first, The Saroj Khan Story, directed by Nidhi Tuli, in English and Hindi, traces the tale of one of the most renowned choreographers in Bollywood, Saroj Khan. This is a personal story of Saroj, from her humble beginnings to the fame she currently enjoys. Included in the film are clips from her earlier hit dance numbers like Dola Re Dola, and her trials to reach where she has. Also showing is the Gujarati hit Kevi Rite Jaish, directed by Abhishek Jain, which features the Patel community’s obsession with America. The story shows how one family persistently tries to immigrate to the US.
