Tous Les Cinemas du Monde

Tous Les Cinemas du Monde (World Cinema) began in 2005 to showcase films from a variety of different countries. From 19 May to 25 May, 2007, films will be screened from India, Lebanon, Poland, Kenya, Guinea, Angola, Slovenia, and Colombia. [1]

India

The first two days of this program were devoted entirely to the cinema of India and included films in a number of different languages. The Hindi film, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, which screened on May 19 (with Bollywood superstar, Sanjay Dutt, as a Mumbai underworld don, who begins to see the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi), was particularly well received. [2], [3] In addition, the Hindi film, Guru, (starring Bollywood superstars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai and loosely based on the life of Dhirubhai Ambani; Bachchan also made a cameo appearance in Lage Raho Munna Bhai) was also a "critical success". [4]Other films included the Hindi film Dharm, the Malayalam film Saira, Missed Call, the Tamil film Veyil, and the Bengali film Dosar. [5]
