LSD to launch London Indian Film Fest

Director Dibakar Banerjee's controversial hit 'Love Sex Aur Dhokha' will kickstart the London Indian Film Festival here from July 15.
'LSD', India's first digital film, offers a view of romance in today's urban Indian Metropolis. Banerjee has put together three stories about India where love and betrayal go hand in hand.
It shows a view of Modern India in all its unsettling contradictions where rock chicks, Bollywood wannabees and internet porn co-exist with traditional values, caste prejudice and honour killings.
"We were surprised by how Indian youth took to this film it really touched a chord with what is going on. It's great to be previewing LSD for the first time in London. I look forward to seeing the audience reactions," Banerjee said.
Festival Director Cary Sawhney said, "'Love Sex Aur Dhokha' is a fabulous opening film for the Festival, although in reality its less raunchy than 'Sex And The City', it's unsettling plot is a compelling tale of trading of love and emotions for personal gain."
The five-day festival's closing night film is 'Vihir' (The Well), a coming of age tale about two best friends, by award-winning Director Umesh Kulkarni, on July 20.
Mahesh Manjrekar's 'City of Gold', 'Road to Sangam and 'Last Chance Mumbai'.
