Cannes this year, including Payal Kapadia's ‘All We Imagine as Light’ in the
Main Competition, ‘Santosh’ in Un Certain Regard, and ‘Sister Midnight,’ starring
the talented Radhika Apte. Adding to the celebration of Indian cinema, Shyam
Benegal's classic ‘Manthan’ was showcased in the Cannes Classics segment,
highlighting the enduring legacy of Indian storytelling.
“There is no denying that
the Bharat Pavilion has stolen the limelight this year at the Cannes Film
Festival,” rejoices Malik. “As Indian cinema continues to gain momentum on the
global stage, India’s grand presence at Cannes serves as a beacon of
inspiration for artists and filmmakers. The global journey of Indian films and
star power underscores the importance of creativity, innovation, and artistic expression
in the world of cinema.”
Highlighting this momentous
occasion, the poster of Mustajabuddin Malik’s latest film, ‘God Must Die,’ was
launched by the legendary Hollywood producer Ashok Amritraj at the Bharat
Pavilion, which has emerged as a focal point of interest, celebrating the
diverse and dynamic landscape of Indian cinema. This year's participation at
Cannes is a testament to the Indian industry's growing international acclaim
and the increasing global demand for Indian stories and talent.
