I’m excited to experience this vibrant creativity firsthand at IFP.”

“It was different than anything I’d seen, as it was a very heavy, distinguished drama that almost felt like a Scorsese movie at times. Then there are these gorgeous musical numbers that felt so sincere and well-rounded. I found myself completely enamored with this film, which made me want to learn more and more about Indian cinema,” he said.
