Q: What’s your favourite filmy moment? Post your answer in the comments below.
We’ve been super excited for Filmistaan – the film, which has already received numerous awards (including the National Award for Best Feature Film, Hindi) is finally releasing to the public on Friday, 6th June. However, because we know you’re going to love it, we’re giving 5 blog readers in Mumbai a chance to come along with Team MissMalini to watch the film tomorrow, ahead of its actual release date!
We’ll be attending a screening tomorrow (on the 5th) in Andheri at 4pm, and we’d like to take you along – all you have to do is post in the comments below telling us what your favourite filmy moment is, and you could get a chance to see one fantastic film a day before all your friends.
Psst! In case you need a heads-up, here’s the synopsis of the film:
In Mumbai, affable Bollywood buff and wanna-be-actor Sunny, who works as an assistant director, fantasizes on becoming a heart-throb star. However, at every audition he is summarily thrown out. Undeterred, he goes with an American crew to remote areas in Rajasthan to work on a documentary. One day an Islamic terrorist group kidnaps him for the American crew-member. Sunny finds himself on enemy border amidst guns and pathani-clad guards, who decide to keep him hostage until they locate their original target. The house In which he is confined belongs to a Pakistani, whose trade stems from pirated Hindi films, which he brings back every time he crosses the border. Soon, the two factions realize that they share a human and cultural bond. The film shows how cinema can be the universal panacea for co-existence.
Sounds like the perfect watch for a filmy buff, right? That’s why we’ve been having so much fun with all our Filmistaan-themed content! We also love the promotions they’ve been doing for the film, such as the aartis they created for famous Bollywood stars and the dialogue antakshari that they’ve been playing.
We’re going to have a ball watching the film tomorrow, so come watch it with us! 🙂
