| TWO PAISE FOR SUNSHINE, FOUR ANNAS FOR RAIN (Do Paise Ki Dhoop Char Aane Ki Baarish) Written and Directed by Deepti Naval. India, 2009, 118 min. In Hindi, with English subtitles. NY Premiere.  Synopsis: Deepti Naval, the acclaimed actress in films such as Mirch Masala (1985) and Firaaq (2008), makes an impressive directorial debut capturing a series of events that can only happen in a teeming metropolis such as Mumbai. The story brings together a struggling gay lyricist, an ageing prostitute (Bollywood star Manisha Koirala in a career-defining role) and her 12-year-old son and an unlikely household is wrought. A film about the mystery of human relationships and the search for happiness, Two Paise for Sunshine is a lovely valentine to Mumbai’s lashing monsoons, changing cityscapes, and the lyrics of songs that have burnished its cinema. Also with Rajit Kapur, Sanaj Naval. Deepti Naval, Rajit Kapur and Manisha Koirala in person Screening Venue: The Quad Cinema - 34 West 13th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues.
