Nagraj Manjule stormed into the Marathi film scene with his terrific debut, Fandry. And we, at mFC, have been shouting out about it since we saw it first (here, here and more).
Now, he is ready with his next film, Sairat. And here’s the good news – the film has been selected for Berlin Film Festival where it will have its International Premiere. It will be screened in Generation 14plus section – movies made for teenagers.
Here’s more info on the film, according to fest official release –
The love that binds clever Parshya and beautiful and self-confident Archie is as passionate as it is socially taboo. Breaking away from the narrow-mindedness and violence of convention is the only way out for the young couple. With powerful imagery and epic scope, Nagraj Manjule tells the story of an impossible love.
And here are two teasers for the film:
