About Me
- chaipanietc
- This ironical, witty yet touching satire on the contemporary India, winner of the SPECIAL JURY AWARD in the Brussels Independent film festival, which had to struggle hard against official censorship, is maverick Indy writer director producer Manu Rewal’s first feature. Set in bureaucratic Lutyens’ Delhi and ancient exotic Jaisalmer, it is the bittersweet coming of age story of earnest US returned filmmaker, Satya. While subtle intense newbie Zafar Karachiwala as the idealistic Satya, struggles against official corruption, sloth and censorship, Konkona Sen (winner of National Award - Best Actress for “Mr & Mrs Iyer”) brilliantly plays the two modern women who battle for his heart: the fun loving, ambitious fashion designer Radha and the elegant, sensitive Shanti who works in a charity. Adding to the chaos, is hilarious Sinia Duggal as Satya’s pushy aunt, who tries to trap him into a traditional marriage and hysterically funny Gaurav Kapur, as Satya’s cynical friend, who lives by the perverted rules of networks of power and patronage.
