Ghajini
Dryden Theatre
Festival of Indian Cinema | Panel Discussion. This film’s journey to the screen is nearly as complex as its plot. A Hindi reworking of the director’s own 2005 Tamil film of the same name, the film has too many shadows of Christopher Nolan’s Memento (2000) to be a coincidence.

Dryden Theatre
Festival of Indian Cinema | Panel Discussion. Comparable to Gone With the Wind, this historical epic was the highest grossing film in India’s history—and still is when adjusted for inflation.
