I.F.F. in Bombay

nishan, fardeen & digvijay at the international film festival of mami - 09 march, 2007

Early morning [at 7 am], with the trio of Digvijay, Nishan & Fardeen, drove to Y.B.Chavan Auditorium in town to investigate program of this week long MAMI festival. So disappointing was the venue -- (a) there was no one there even at nine; and, (b) so shoddy was the "get-up" at the hall! A bare single sheeter run down poster was all that announced this 'oh-so-prestigious-film festival- in-Bombay!!'
Disgusted, drove ALL the way to IMAX dome theatre in Wadala, where things were as limp ;-) Shameleesly exploiting face value, bulldozed the sleepy 'sarkari type' of most unwilling clerks to issue delegate cards. Saw one film INVASION OF THE BARBARIANS, a Canadian Oscar best foreign film awardee [2004?]...rather mushy.
