Anubhav Sinha, Aamir Bashir, Chitra Palekar, Meghna Malik, Malavika Sangghvi and Sridhar Rangayan announce South Asia’s and India’s biggest LGBT film festival
Mumbai, Noted filmmakers Anubhav Sinha and Chitra Palekar, national award winning filmmaker and actor Amir Bashir, actor Meghna Malik, columnist Malavika Sangghvi and festival director Sridhar Rangayan today announced the sixth edition of KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival – South Asia’s biggest and India’s only mainstream LGBT film festival. The festival – that will screen 180 films from 44 countries – will be held between May 27-31, 2015 at three venues in South Mumbai – the iconic Liberty Cinema and Alliance Française de Bombay at New Marine Lines and Max Mueller Bhavan at Kalaghoda.
Anubhav Sinha, Aamir Bashir, Chitra Palekar, Meghna Malik and Malavika Sangghvi are part of the eminent jury that will judge the films in the seven competition categories at KASHISH 2015. “I am so happy to be associated with KASHISH Film Festival. Looking forward to a lot of exciting films from around the world,’’ said Anubhav Sinha, director of blockbusters like Ra One and Tum Bin.
Actor and filmmaker Aamir Bashir, whose film Harud won the National Award said: “With the LGBT community under siege by a colonial law, it is nothing short of heroic that KASHISH has persisted and persevered and is growing each year as a festival. I am honoured and privileged to be a part of it as a member of the jury.’’
Filmmaker Chitra Palekar said that since its debut in 2010, KASHISH had created a special place for itself. “KASHISH not only brings wonderfully different films to the film lovers of Mumbai, but also creates awareness in the mainstream society about the various concerns of the queer community,’’ she said.
Actor Meghna Malik, well known for her role as Ammaji in the television serial Na Aana Is Des Laado, too reflected on the growth of the festival. “In times when our government, our leaders and we as people at large are confused and struggling with the existence of LGBT community, KASHISH gives a platform to the community to express themselves through films. They have been doing it successfully past six years and it’s only growing leaps and bounds each year. It’s a brave and massive effort. My best wishes are with the team and as juror I am looking forward to some very exciting films.’’
“It is with great pleasure that I have accepted KASHISH’s request to be on this years’ film jury for the festivals’ competitive section, which receives entries from all over the world. I look forward to watching some great cinema over the next week,’’ said columnist Malavika Sangghvi.
“We are indeed delighted to announce the 6th edition of KASHISH MIQFF. The festival is no more a LGBT event, but an annual event in Mumbai’s cultural calendar that cuts across barriers of age, class, gender and sexuality. This year the festival promises to be bigger than ever with a range of events that could be of interest to everyone. Pride comes in seven colours of the rainbow, and all of them coalesce to form KASHISH”, said festival director Sridhar Rangayan.
Acclaimed filmmaker Anupam Kher’s Actor Prepares has sponsored cash prizes for the three top competition categories at KASHISH – Rs 30,000 for the Best Narrative Feature Film, Rs 20,000 for the Best Indian Narrative Short film and Rs 20,000 for the Best Performance in a Lead Role. Wadia Movietone has instituted a cash award of Rs 15,000 for the Riyad Wadia Award for the Best Emerging Indian Filmmaker. The other competition categories are Best Documentary Feature, Best Documentary Short and Best International Narrative Short film.
The festival is organized by Solaris Pictures and co-organised by the Humsafar Trust.
“In the last six years KASHISH has done a journey that been full of challenges but despite all odds it has grown and has become an annual event that every LGBTQ individual will be proud of and Humsafar Trust as co-organizers feel privileged that we have been part of this journey,’’ said Vivek Anand, CEO of The Humsafar Trust.

Every year when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan makes an appearance at the Cannes International Film Festival, it turns out to be one of the most eye catching moments for the media from across the globe. But this year was even more special for this gorgeous actress as well as for the media as the first look of her comeback film Jazbaa was unveiled at the Cannes International Film Festival 2015.
The camera had only eyes for her – on those lines- she was termed the queen of Cannes again this year by the media here – all her looks were distinct and worth praising – the green Elie saab on the first day, the maroon Oscar de le renta , the White and black Ralph and Russo and the mauve Elie saab on the last day at Amfar
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was absolutely looking beautiful in a lavender coloured strapless Elie Saab evening gown as she posed for pictures on her arrival for the amfAR gala. Aishwarya wore her multi-layered voluminous monochrome gown with grey high heels. –
She walked the red carpet for the screening of ‘Youth’ at the 68th international film festival.
Aishwarya has been at Cannes for several days for her promotional duties as a L’Oreal Paris ambassador. This is her 14th year at Cannes Film Festival and this just might be one of her best looks ever at the French Riviera. –
Before walking the red carpet, Aishwarya wrote: “On my way to the red carpet! Every girl is a princess! Because we’re worth it!

A tone that has a stunning quality to it, voice that is mellifluously complimentary, personality that is uniquely charming, sensibility that forms the basis for the expression that her voice emotes, Kiran Sachdev is sure someone to lookout for.
Having started her training at the tender age of 5,Kiran’s musical journey started at an early stage, and there has been no looking back since. She started out by reciting gurbani in her city gurudwaras, moved on to participating in and winning state and national level singing competitions, and subsequently a more active participation in college and university level events ensued.
This paved the way for professional endeavors and the ever coveted reality shows.
Kiran was a finalist of the most popular singing reality competition SaReGaMaPa. Alongside she has lent her vocals for a number of remixes and regional film songs. On stage, she finds solace in letting her voice capture the listener, and has performed nationwide, and internationally across various cities in Europe and the UK, with London deserving a special mention. She was fortunate enough to be felicitated by the Indian high commission, in cities London and Berlin.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that she has recorded an album with the Ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh ji, and has rendered her voice for another devotional project alongside playback singer Sukhwinder Singh ji. Her academic proficiency has imparted her with a flexibility which has enabled her to grasp and sing in 10 different languages, which includes the international language Persian, with all respective linguistic nuances intact.
Last and not the least, Kiran Sachdev has been an ardent student and has served as a systems engineer in one of the leading IT consultancy firms of India. Her intellect and intelligence are analytical, while her soul and spirit are artistic. And both these qualities gel together beautifully to produce an artist who is as artful as insightful.
