Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

Jodhaa-Akbar is garnering a lot of critical acclaim at the Cannes Film festival, which doesn’t surprise me ,considering it’s directed by the brilliant Ashutosh Gowariker. In fact Ashutosh Gowariker also made it to Variety’s list of the 60  most important people to watch out at Cannes ’07.

The film has been produced UTV and Ashutosh Gowariker Productions and they were overwhelmed by the response generated by the 2-minute promo showcases at Cannes.

Says Sunita Gowariker, “The reactions were amazing. Buyers for Germany, France and South Africa were very excited. Representatives from Venice and Rome were keen that JODHAA-AKBAR be showcased at their festivals.”
