(About this film in english)
She Came To India For The First Time But Didn’t Find A Single Indian! Shocked?
If you feel proud to be an Indian, then this short film may prove you wrong! Because, sometimes, it feels that there are 20-25 more countries in our India and whenever we visit from one state to other, it feels that we have come to another country. And, unfortunately our integrity is seen only at the time of any national calamity, or in a terrorist attack only.
This foreigner visited India for the first time and when she takes an auto-rickshaw to reach at the airport, on her way the driver asks her how did she feel after coming to India. She said that she met everyone but did not find any Indian, here!
(About this film in hindi)
“Say I’m an Indian” ek aisi film hai, jo aap ko sochne pe majbur kar degi, ek foreigner delhi airport ke liye auto pakadti hai, auto wala us se poochta hai ki delhi kaisi lagi madam, to wo kahti hai ki bahut accha, ye sun auto wala khush hota hai, fir wo poochta hai ki hamara india kaisa laga. Phir wo kahti hai bahut accha, maza aa gaya, wapas apne desh ja ke india pe ek book likhegi, ye sun auto wala ko proud feel hota hai.
Phir jab wo poochta hai ki kaise lage mere Indian bhai log.to wo kahti hai ki use koi Indian nahi mila yahan pe jab wo maharastra gayi to Marathi mile, bihar gayi to bihari, Gujarat gayi to gujarati, Punjab gayi to Punjabi, par koi Indian nahi mila.
Ye sun auto wala shoked ho jata hai, wo us se kahta hai ki madam aap apne book mein ye mat likhna ki aap ko yahan koi Indian nahi mila, next time jab aap india aaoge tab ek Indian zaroor milega, ye sun wo muskurati hui chali jaati hai.
Ji haan ye hamare india ki bahut badi problem hai, jab hum ek state se dusre state jate hain, to hamare saath aisa behavekiya jata hai, jaise hum kisi dusre desh mein aa gaye ho, jab bhi koi hum se pehli baar milta hai to naam to dur ki baat hai, pehle kahta hai, bhai kahan se ho, agar issi tareh chalta raha to hamare desh ki chabi dusre desh ki nazaron mein kharab ho jayegi.
Is liye apne aap ko Marathi, Bihari, Gujarati ya Punjabi kahna chhod ke hume Indian kahna chahiye.
About writer & director
Govind Mishra is a very young talented writer & director, he started career in writing at the age of 16 in delhi press magazine from 2005 to 2008, now done 10 short fims as a writer director, & 2 future films as a writer.
After garnering 10 awards and immense critical acclaim internationally, Agneya Singh’s “M Cream” is all set to hit silver screen on July 22nd, 2016.
The film features Imaad Shah, Ira Dubey, Auritra Ghosh, Raaghav Chanana, Barry John, Tom Alter, Lushin Dubey and Beatrice Ordeix and is set on a journey of motley crew of university students in pursuit of a mythical form of hash, confronting a series of encounters that begin to unravel the myriad realities of rebellion.
Very clearly the film is targeted towards the youth and is about the complexities the urban youth in the country. In anticipation of the upcoming release, writer/director Agneya Singh commented, “M Cream is a film that seeks to capture the pulse of today’s youth. It follows the wild road trip adventure of four friends in search of a mysterious and fabled drug guaranteed to give the ultimate high. Through this journey, the film raises topical and pressing issues that intimately concern the youth of today and in particular raises the question, ‘what does it mean to be a rebel or a revolutionary?’. It’s a unique film for India and has raised a lot of eyebrows on account of the drug use, sexual content and politics. We are beyond elated that the film will finally hit cinemas in India and reach the audience it was made for.”
M Cream is written and directed by Agneya Singh and is produced by Vindhya Singh and the film will be distributed in India by PVR Pictures.
