MAMI 2016

I have been scouting recommendations on the internet and watching good movies screened at MAMI last year. Here are the ones I have seen yet. Will keep updating them in this post so it's easier to access. An Insignificant Man   Language : Hindi  Available for viewing on Youtube. This documentary was screened at MAMI last year and was quite popular. I couldn't catch it in the theatres when it released this year but now it is available on Youtube. Arvind Kejriwal's arrival in politics is very significant in the country. The way he brought Delhites to the streets and banded them together against corruption is nothing short of a revolution.

Mukkabaaz is based in a small town of UP where Shravan Singh (Vineet Kumar Singh) aspires to be a famous boxer and compete nationally.

Does Shravan marry the niece? Does he become a successful boxer? How does he deal with Bhagwan Das? The movie is a typical Anurag Kashyap film with lots of expletives, realistic look at the game in rural UP mixed with first of its kind love story. It has lots of flaws but I only remember the hooting, cheering, clapping of 500 or so people at every scene. Montparnesse Bienvenue Language ...
