Bollywood movie shines at Monaco Charity Film Festival !

Riwayat (2010. www.riwayatmovie.com) – a bollywood romantic musical has bagged the prestigious ‘Award of Merit’ at the Monaco Charity Film Fetival. Produced by two world renowned doctors-Dr Ajay Rane and Dr Sanjay Patole – Riwayat has all the ingredients of an out and out bollywood entartainer that focusses on the serious social issue of the killing of baby girls simply due to the blind faith in traditions, and beliefs that favour sons and not daughters.

Riwayat depicts the emotional journey of Anita (played by the talented and gorgeous bollywood newbie Samapika Debnath) and her fight in protecting the girl child. The melodious music of Riwayat is a sure treat with 4 beautiful songs sung by bollywood biggies Shreya Ghoshal, Shaan, Kailash Kher, and the legendary Jagjit Singh. Prof Dr Ajay Rane, the co-producer of the movie, was all smiles when he walked down the red carpet to receive the award in Monte Carlo last week.

The rising global popularity of Indian films seems assured looking at the success of Riwayat, a meaningful film with substance as well as all the colors, music, and passion of “Bollywood”. The producers are currently awaiting the screening of Riwayat at few more international and national film festivals before the commercial launch of the film in India and overseas.

Prof Rane – co producer of Riwayat said he was “gobsmacked” by the response to the film and hoped it would reduce the rate of deaths. “I’m not a film-maker and I made this movie purely from a passion for women’s health and
championing women’s causes,” he said.
“I hope the publicity will help raise awareness. The magnitude of this problem is that hundreds of millions of girls are killed.”
The film was previewed at a special screening in Townsville last month and will next be seen at the Melbourne International Film Festival, along with festivals in India and Canada.
