Srinagar: Bollywood feature film Naya Daur (1957) was screened on the fourth day of Kashmir World Film Festival (KWFF) at Tagore Hall here.
Directed by B R Chopra, the film stars Dilip Kumar and Vijayanthimala in the lead roles.
The other films that were screened during the day include Saahil Saple’s ‘Dinner’, Arif Mushtaq Mir’s ‘Kul Gov Garam’, Pushpanath Arumugam’s ‘The Diety’, Garegi Kulkarni’s ‘The Leopard’, Tariq Khawar’s ‘Hope in Despair’, Latifa Doghri’s ‘Made in GouGou’ and VC Abhilash’s ‘Aalorukkam’.
Bollywood actor Rajit Kapur also interacted with the students and film buffs on the sidelines of the festival and talked about the basics of the acting. “I talked about the techniques and did some practical exercise on the stage that will help these budding actors to grow up in the field,” said Kapur.
Students and films buffs also expressed their gratitude to the festival team for organizing such kind of festival in the valley. “First of all, we hardly get to see such films on YouTube. Here our own films get screened on a big screen that is watched by so many people and then you have a healthy criticism. It is a wonderful experience,” said a group of students attending the festival.
Festival Director Mushtaaque Ali Ahmad Khan said that the determination of students and film buffs is prompting them to take this show forward.
“It is really a positive sign that they are turning up despite the chilly weather outside. I believe that they are passionate and are keen to learn,” Khan said.
