Bhopal Express: Rattling towards acclaim!

almost a year after its release, the film has found acclaim at the 17th environmental film festival at freiburg in germany. forty-two films from 17 countries competed in several prize categories at the festival where bhopal express was awarded the golden lynx for best artistic achievement. with bad reviews from critics here in india, bhopal express did not really have a long run at the theatres. nevertheless, director mahesh mathai (who had earlier directed lucky ali's o sanam video appeared to be rather keen on promoting the film abroad, now with good results. will this help the film here? we don't think so. unless of course, it finds takers for mahesh's next film. with bad reviews from critics here in india, bhopal express did not really have a long run at the theatres. nevertheless, director mahesh mathai (who had earlier directed lucky ali's o sanam video appeared to be rather keen on promoting the film abroad, now with good results. will this help the film here? we don't think so. unless of course, it finds takers for mahesh's next film.
