After winning laurels and great reviews from international audiences in film festivals like Pittsburgh 3 Rivers Film Festival, Stony brook Festival in New York, Salento Film Festival in Italy and Dances with Films, Los Angeles, Award winning NRI Director Kruti Majmudar is all set to her debut feature, THE MEMSAHIB make its Indian cinema debut in the prestigious IFFI, Goa!
Written, Directed and Produced by Kruti herself, the film stars Emily Hamilton, Parveen Dabbas, Swetta Keswani, Murli Sharma, Glenn Fitzgerald (The Sixth Sense, Finding Forrester), Denzil Smith and many others. The executive producer is Larry Meistrich, producer of academy award nominated SLING BLADE, with Billy Bob Thornton.
THE MEMSAHIB is a fresh new look at the timeless nature of love and is the story of a strong-willed woman's search for her connection to, one love, two cultures, through many lifetimes.
Born in Rajkot, Kruti has been associated with many interesting and noteworthy films like THE JOURNEY AND DADDY COOL, and now she brings her debut feature film THE MEMSAHIB to the shores of India, where it was shot. Kruti has produced and served as art director for films for 6 years. She creatively draws on experiences from both cultures, while at the same time proudly swearing allegiance to the beauty of her homeland.
THE MEMSAHIB is not another crossover film but a truly American Independent film with India's top talent like noted musician Uday Mazumdar who has composed the score and soundtrack with a wide array of music ranging from folk garbas, thumris, to pop music, Art Direction by Nitin Desai, Cinematography by Rajen Kothari and of course the talented Indian Diaspora in the film.
Taking a pragmatic look at eastern philosophies and after winning hearts in LA and New York, we are sure THE MEMSAHIB will definitely make an impact on the Goa audiences!
