It is my esteemed privilege to welcome you all to the 48th International Film Festival of India (<strong>IFFI</strong>) to<br />
celebrate the creativity, vibrancy and influence of cinema in our lives.<br />

all aspects of film making. It has given India the necessary push to position itself globally as a creative<br />
soft power.<br />
Over the years, <strong>IFFI</strong> has captured the emerging contemporary trends of cinema from a global and<br />
<strong>Indian</strong> perspective. As a platform, it has always encouraged the participation of young film makers<br />

FESTIVAL DIRECTOR<br />
48 TH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL OF INDIA<br />
MESSAGE<br />
The <strong>Indian</strong> Panorama section is a major highlight of the 48th International Film Festival of India (<strong>IFFI</strong>)<br />
and this year we are pleased to bring to you films of varied genres from various regions of India.<br />
The <strong>Indian</strong> Panorama section was introduced in the International Film Festival of India in 1978. It is<br />
devoted to showcasing the best new <strong>Indian</strong> films of the year. For 39 years, the <strong>Indian</strong> Panorama has<br />
been promoting <strong>Indian</strong> films and, through these films, the country’s rich culture and heritage. Films<br />
from all regions of the country, in varied languages, are not just screened, but celebrated, through the<br />
<strong>Indian</strong> Panorama every year.<br />
This year a total of 178 features and 161 non-features were received as entries, out of which 26<br />
features and non-features across 24 languages were selected by our eminent jury. The features have<br />
films by accomplished directors, as well as those by young, debut filmmakers. The non-feature films<br />
selected represent the cultural and aesthetic flavors of different parts of the country, making every film<br />
special.<br />
Our Retrospective this year focuses on the recipient of the Dadasaheb Phalke Award (2016), K.<br />
Viswanath, a man who turned from being an audiographer to becoming a director, screenwriter and<br />
character actor who has made invaluable contributions in Hindi, Tamil and Telegu <strong>Cinema</strong>. His films<br />
not only have strong content, endearing narratives, honest handling, but also cultural authenticity,<br />
which has great appeal for the masses.<br />
This year our film fraternity has lost some eminent personalities, and <strong>IFFI</strong> pays homage and tribute to<br />
them and to their work, which lives on. We pay tribute to Om Puri, Abdul Majid, Vinod Khanna, Tom<br />
Alter, Reema Lagoo, Kundan Shah, J. Jayalalithaa, Dasari Narayan Rao & Ramananda Sen Gupta for<br />
their contributions to the film industry.<br />
<strong>IFFI</strong> is also continuing with its effort to support the Accessible India Programme of the Government of<br />
India by making films accessible for the visually impaired and hearing impaired.<br />
I welcome you to the 48th International Film Festival of India and I hope that it proves to be an<br />
enjoyable and enriching experience for you.<br />

Jolly LLB 2 is the story of the blunt,<br />
abrasive and yet oddly compassionate<br />
Jagdishwar Mishra, aka Jolly, a small–<br />
time, struggling lawyer. Jolly is looking<br />
out for an opportunity that could turn<br />
the tide in his favour; when faced with<br />
the glimpse of such an opportunity, he<br />
jumps at the chance and in the bargain<br />
commits an innocent mistake with<br />
irreversible consequences. One that<br />
not only costs him his reputation as a<br />
lawyer, but compels him to question his<br />
own morals.<br />

Mahua, a farming village in remote<br />
Assam, is rain deprived, leading its<br />
farmers to inevitable suicide owing<br />
to crushing loans and repayments. A<br />
reputation of ruthlessness precedes the<br />
bank agent who is referred to as God of<br />
Death by the villagers. A father, fearful<br />
that his son too may succumb pleads<br />
with the man to defer the debt. His<br />
stark refusal leads to a conflict between<br />
the two.<br />

A tale of two men, a poet and a painter,<br />
claiming possession over the same<br />
Idea, in a rural village portrayed as a<br />
wonderland. Idea is personified as a<br />
beautiful young lady, free of all bondage.<br />
They approach fate, personified as a<br />
big fat man of authority, to judge their<br />
claims. They soon realize that an idea<br />
is no one’s possession and it isn’t wise<br />
to rely on fate for a judgement. Soon it<br />
is decided to bury fate, and settle the<br />
matter in peace. The real world, with all<br />
its materialistic obsessions, rigid notions<br />
and prejudices, loses the idea forever.<br />

The documentary is an attempt to<br />
understand the legend of revolutionary<br />
filmmaker KG George by examining his<br />
major films juxtaposed with his personal<br />
life. When he states with a firm conviction,<br />
“I don’t want to make films anymore”, it<br />
sadly projects the various socio-political<br />
aspects that forced a filmmaker of his<br />
calibre to sing an early swansong in the<br />
1990s. No other filmmaker has depicted<br />
the nuances of the contemporary Kerala<br />
society with such great detail and depth.<br />

The film explores how trying<br />
circumstances often lead to great<br />
transformation. When the loss of his<br />
father, mounting financial troubles and<br />
the thought of arranging his daughter’s<br />
marriage wear him down, the last straw<br />
for him is losing his mother. In the face of<br />
adversity Balaram truly begins to think.<br />

Everyone we meet has a public face,<br />
the one they allow us to see. What if<br />
there is another side? The film peeps<br />
into the seemingly moral world of the<br />
great indian middle class with its new<br />
aspirations of imported cars & organic<br />
food. Using satire as its narrative, we get<br />
a voyeuristic look into their relationships<br />
and the dark secrets they hide<br />
while casually going about their<br />
everyday lives.<br />

whose life revolves around taking care<br />
of her paralytic bed-ridden husband.<br />
Her only distraction is Ashween, a<br />
youngster, who lives in the opposite<br />
building. Ashween’s constant indulgence<br />
in alcohol and smoking raises Madhu’s<br />
anxiety about her own son’s lifestyle.<br />
Ashween, who is trying to write his<br />
second feature film, gets frequently<br />
drawn to his living-room window, through<br />
which he can observe Madhu.<br />

in the members having strange names<br />

HakkiPikkis initially lived in the jungles<br />
and later rehabilitated to different villages<br />
around the state. The film explores their<br />

On a visit to his cousin Nilu’s beautiful<br />

takes to the deep forests; he marvels at<br />
the bounty of nature in the small town.<br />
He soon learns that the waterfall they<br />
visited will soon be destroyed to make<br />
way for development projects. Deeply<br />
disturbed, Karan finds himself in deep<br />
contemplation about the conflicting<br />
progress of development and importance<br />

and sister. Ramu’s sister, Seeta, is<br />
dressed up and paraded in front of<br />
prospective in-laws who humiliatingly<br />
examine her. The father is myopic and<br />
full of cynicism for he does not share the<br />
idealistic aspirations of his two children<br />
that better times will come. The light of<br />
Ramu’s life is his girlfriend Uma, who<br />
lives in an equally precarious situation<br />
with her sister Shefali and her mother.<br />
To make ends meet, Ramu’s mother<br />
takes in Sagar, a poor chemist, as a<br />
paying guest.<br />

Major Ranjeet Khanna is in love with his<br />
wife Pushpa, who seems to be much in<br />
love with him as well. His commanding<br />
officer Lt. Col Bakshi is also his fatherin-law.<br />
When Ranjeet discovers his wife<br />
is having an affair with his best friend,<br />
he kills them both and turns himself in to<br />
the police. A drama high on morals, the<br />
climax is intriguing when law enforcers<br />
who arrested him for the crime feel<br />
remorse when he is sentenced to death.<br />
