In either cases, the movie caught my interest and I decided to give it a try. After all, the movie was in the running for Academy Awards 2010 (Oscars) from India in foreign language films.
Harishchandrachi Factory, in case you don’t know, is a movie about the making of the very first Indian movie by Dada Phalke. The movie was a mute movie and outlined the life of king Harishchandra. This movie, the making of that first movie, handles the issue from a funny perspective. [Read more →]
