Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Rang De Basanti which came and won hearts three years ago will be the star attractions at the ongoing SAARC Film Festival in Abu Dhabi. Pakistani movie ‘Khuda Ke Liye’ directed by Shoaib Mansoor will also give it company.
The festival will also feature a film from Bangladesh – AHA, Caravan from Nepal and Sri Lankan movie Nisalgira and Samanala Thatu.
All the movies to be screened during the fest will be subtitled in English and Arabic.
The five-day-event, which started on Saturday, March 7 has been organised by the embassies of the SAARC nations – India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka – in UAE.
It’s organized in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture & Heritage (ADACH) and is going to be the first South Asian regional film festival to be hosted in the country and will get over on March 11.
It’s good to see this good movie which couldn’t qualify for the Oscars ( foreign film category) get more international attention after three long years!
