The ceator of the festival, Shivdasani, said the following of the festival's aspirations: "We want to establish NYIFF as the Indian counterpart to Sundance, add a film bazaar, grow the festival to a whole week of screenings, panels, awards, special events, international interest," she said. "We want to make it THE festival for Independent and Diaspora films from the Indian subcontinent."
This years festival will feature Disney's first ever Hindi action film "Do Dooni Chaar"
The plot of "Do Dooni Chaar" is the following, courtesy of wikipedia :)
Life can be tough for a man (Rishi Kapoor) who teaches at a school for a living, lives in a DDA flat in Delhi and is coping with the double digit inflation rates and single digit increments in his salary. Add to that, a teenage daughter, a fast-track son and a wife (Neetu Kapoor) who loves the good life. The life of the Duggals is passing by in simply taking care of the basics. Until one day, they decide to dream. Their ticket to dreaming comes in the form of a wedding invitation. An innocent little wedding invitation. What follows is a journey of chaos, realizations, calculations, confrontations and bonding. This crazy Duggals will fight it out at home (and the neighborhood) for what they think is a ‘good buy’ for the family! This family bonds in the most unexpected and hilarious situations. And just when they think they are sorted out, comes one big, lurking temptation. Much like the apple in the Garden of Eden. And then, begins another journey that will drive them, and you, pretty much nuts.
The Paris theatre will host the red carpet event on May 4th.
