“We could not have wished for a better closing night movie than BOMBAY TALKIES, making its Australian debut only three days after receiving a gala screening in Cannes. The response to the screening has been beyond expectation,” said IFFM festival director Mitu Bhowmick Lange.

An anthology of four short films by four of India’s most exciting directors – Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar and Karan Johar – was the icing on the cake for the festival’s own celebrations of 100 years of Indian cinema, and the packed audience ate it up.
Following a long standing ovation, Aussies could be heard singing the BOMBAY TALKIES song on their way out.
