Mumbai, Mar 10 (UNI) One of the six films, which are Indian or India-based in content and imbued with the international flavour at the same time, 'Chaurahen' (Crossroads), was screened on day two of the ongoing 9th Mumbai Academy of Moving Images (MAMI) international film festival here.
Showcased under the Film India Worldwide section yesterday, 'Chaurahen' is a story that turns the fantasy of love into an everyday reality. Like snippets of collected photographs, it links similar disconnected people in search of something to overcome the mundane routine of reality. The film takes a chosen set of middle-class individuals to reveal that their lives are the stuff of far greater drama in ordinary stories than in the melodrama of spectacle.
Directed by Rajshree Ojha, the film boasts a starcast of Soha Ali Khan, Victor Banerjee, Roopa Ganguly, Nedumudi Venu, Arundhati Nag, Ankur Khanna, Shayan Munshi, Zeenat Aman and Suchitra Pillai.
In a tete-e-tete with reporters after the screening, the protagonist of the film Suchitra Pillai said, ''When I was told the story is based in the backwaters of Kerela, I liked it, I also liked the relation between the brother and sister. And the major point is working with Arundhati Nag.'' Soha Ali Khan said ''I have done a lot of mainstream cinema, I took up this film because I like the role. If I wait for something worthwhile I will become old.'' UNI LS GB MIR DS1140
