FILMISTAAN – Film Review


Rating: ***


Sunny, a wanna-be-actor goes with an American crew to remote areas in Rajasthan to work on a documentary. One day an Islamic terrorist group kidnaps him for the American crew-member.

The house in which he is confined belongs to a Pakistani Aftab (Inaamulhaq), whose trade stems from pirated Hindi films, which he brings back every time he crosses the border.

Soon, the two factions realize that they share a human and cultural bond. The film shows how cinema can be the universal panacea for co-existence.
