Indian Panorama promises to showcase riveting films from different parts of the country at IFFI 2015 in Goa


~ Indian Panorama Section to screen 26 Feature and 21 Non-Feature films ~

~The list of films includes internationally acclaimed films like Court, Masaan, Radiopetti, Katyar Kaljat Ghusali and Cinemawala ~

While the above mentioned films are no doubt commendable, the selection of a purely commercial artless film like ~Salman Khan-starrer Bajrangi Bhaijaan raises questions as to the competence of the jury. Nevertheless, there's hope that at least some of the films on offer will be worthy of International praise.

The film festival will showcase 26 Feature and 21 Non-Feature films that raise a toast to the work of many talented Indian filmmakers.
