| BOLLYWOOD BEATS Written and Directed by Mehul Shah USA, 2008, 117 min. NY Premiere Synopsis: Mehul Shah’s feature is a sunny charmer. It tells the story of Raj, a down-on-his-luck dancer caught in a quagmire of failure and misery. But a chance encounter with Jyoti turns his life around. Jyoti brings together a motley group of dancers to join Raj’s dance class and they discover themselves, finding love and acceptance where they never thought to look. Shah inflects the film with a knowing nod to the film history of the dance and music sequences in Bollywood cinema that aficionados will mist and giggle over. With Mansi Patel, Sachin Bhatt, Pooja Kumar, Sarita Joshi, Mehul Shah, Lilette Dubey. Mehul Shah and Pooja Kumar in person. Screening Venue: The Quad Cinema - 34 West 13th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues.
