Pune, Oct 20: Marathi film ‘Aarya — Daughter of Bharat’, directed by city-based Nitin Bhaskar and produced by Sharad Patil of S S Film Production, Pune has been awarded a Certificate of Achievement at the World Film Carnival Singapore.
The only Marathi film to be given this honour.
Earlier this year, ‘Aarya …’ was also the only Marathi film to be screened at The ‘Bollywood Festival-Norway’.
‘Aarya …’ is a film based on two distinct sections of India — the modern urban ‘India’ and traditional rural ‘Bharat’ as is referred to in the film.
The story is about a girl who is caught in difference between India and Bharat owing to parents from these two diverse backgrounds. The film handles the differences in culture, technology and thought processes in an interesting way, elevating the curiosity of the audience to know if and how ‘Aarya’ breaks free from these boundaries to explore life on her own terms.
