Film Heritage Foundation and PVR Inox present Vidhu Vinod Chopra's films for a multi-city festival

Vidhu Vinod Chopra
Film Heritage Foundation and PVR Inox have joined hands to organise a special film festival to celebrate filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra's cinema as he completes 45 years in the film industry. This film festival promises to take cinephiles on a memorable journey through Vidhu Vinod Chopra's remarkable filmography. For younger viewers, this will be an opportunity to watch Chopra's early films on the big screen for the first time.
The gripping thriller Khamosh, which enjoys a cult following and is not available on any streaming platform, is likely to be a big draw. As will be his first feature film, Sazaye Maut, a noirish thriller that signalled his entry as a filmmaker of great promise. The gangster drama Parinda is one of the early films of the genre, while the musical superhit 1942: A Love Story and the multi-textured Mission Kashmir kickstarted many careers of the film industry. Each film represents a unique facet of Chopra's storytelling skills. Audiences will also get a glimpse of Chopra's oeuvre as a producer with Parineeta, Munna Bhai MBBS, Lage Raho Munnabhai and 3 Idiots.
