Movie
Miss Lovely
Synopsis
Channel 4's Indian Film Season continues with this feature debut from the award-winning documentary film-maker, Ashim Ahluwalia. A dark drama set in the 1980s world of Mumbai's sleazy C-grade film productions, Miss Lovely is the story of brothers Vicky and Sonu Duggal, who churn out sex-horror movies for India's small-town picture houses. Vicky is the dominant one, a cynical, hardened hustler who does all the business deals, leaving the basic chores to Sonu, his younger sibling, leaving Sonu frustrated with his lot. However, when Sonu meets the mysteriously aloof Pinky on a train he falls in love with her and promises to cast her in his long-cherished dream: a movie project called Miss Lovely. But things go pear-shaped when Sonu discovers Pinky is not who she claims to be... The movie is an interesting example of the new trends in Indian cinema, which have expanded audiences' cinematic choices far beyond Bollywood's stereotypical output. In Hindi with English subtitles.
