The film has been heavily praised by the US press, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it “explosive” and NYIFF director Aseem Chhabra calling it the best Indian film of 2013.Īmong the notable documentaries screening this year is Karan Bali’s An American in Madras, which tells the true story of American-born filmmaker Ellis R. The film is about a Dalit (low-caste) boy in India, who falls for a girl of a higher caste, and the complications that ensue from such a romance. The latter comes with a slew of awards already in tow, including the Grand Jury prize from the 2013 Mumbai Film Festival. The three Marathi films scheduled to be showcased at the NYIFF are Postcard, Astu, and Fandry.
