Every year media goes berserk just over one thing, what was Aiswarya Rai Bachchan wearing at Cannes. Who was the lucky designer to design her outfit? Who is the another heroine from Bollywood giving competition to Ash this time? And this year she was Deepika Padukone.
But Cannes-2010 was something more than this, this time. Media may don't consider it important to give extensive coverage to five Indian films which were screened and nominated at Cannes this time,but I do.These were much more significant than the saris or the dresses of Ash, Deepika or Mallika Sherawat's snakes.These movies truely represent the young and fresh talent, beginning of a new era in Indian film making where it seems no less than international film market.
Indian movies nominated for Cannes 2010 :-
1. Udaan by Vikramaditya Motwani, debutant director
2. Khandhar- a bengali film
3. I am Kalam- story of a young boy with an urge to go to school
4. Kavi- story of a slave boy
5. Last of the tattoed head hunters- a movie in assamese language, the first ever entry from north-east India.
Apart from this Mallika Sherawat's two international projects namely, 'Hisss' and 'Love Barack' were also screened.
SHEKHAR KAPOOR, THE OSCAR NOMINATED DIRECTOR, MADE US PROUD BY MAKING IT TO THE JURY PANEL OF CANNES-2010 ALONG WITH DEEPIKA PADUKONE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
There was lot to cheer about for us at Cannes, right???????
