“Beautifully shot, it’s an intimate portrait of a triangular relationship,” raves The San Francisco Chronicle of Bombay Summer, Joseph Mathew-Varghese’s feature film directorial debut. Academy Award nominated filmmaker Deepa Mehta calls the film “a fascinating journey into a known yet unfamiliar world,” and Vogue Magazine dubs it “an outsider’s fresh vision.”

Starring Tannishtha Chatterjee (Brick Lane), Jatin Goswami, and New York actor Samrat Chakrabarti, Bombay Summer explores the delicate friendship between three young people and its eventual disintegration in the face of betrayal over one languorous summer in Bombay. Traversing class and landscape, the film follows their journey of discovery, love and loss. Set in contemporary Mumbai, the film subtly mirrors the turmoil-within-tradition-bound Indian society as it struggles to cope with rapid modernization and social change.
