Dakxin Chhara’s SAMEER to make its World Premiere at New York Indian Film Festival 2017
Filmmaker Dakxin
Chhara’s upcoming film Sameer is all set to make its World Premiere at the
prestigious New York Indian Film Festival to be held on May 6, 2017.
Sameer features a stellar cast comprised of
Zeeshan Ayub (of Raanjhana, Raees fame), Anjali Patil (of Mirzya, Newton fame)
and Subrat Dutta (Talaash). Back in 2008, filmmaker Dakxin Chhara set out with
a camera to capture the devastating scene of the series of 21 bomb blasts that
had shaken the city of Ahmedabad. That particular incident and meeting the
victims made him take the decision to bring this important story on screen.
Starting the film's
journey at NYIFF, Dakxin Chhara, the director of Sameer says “In this day and
age, it is a sad fact that terrorist attacks have become a part of our daily
lives. Sameer is a powerful story about the brutal reality of our times, a
gripping tale of how terror can take over the lives of ordinary citizens. We
are thrilled to have our world premiere in New York with this special film, and
plan to bring it to our audiences at home soon after.”
The film was recently in the news as it was on
the receiving end of one of Indian Censor Board's more bizarre decisions. The
line “Ek mann ki baat kahoon? Tum character accha bana lete ho!” was scrapped
from the movie because it includes ‘mann ki baat’ which is also the title of
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s monthly radio show.
Sameer, presented by
Nomad Movies Pvt Ltd, is slated for its theatrical release across India in July
2017.
