A WELL-REGARDED academic and journalist from India who now lives in Lancaster is collaborating with Lancaster's Dukes Theatre to screen three classic Indian films.
Suman Ghosh from the University of Central Lancashire is a UK specialist in Indian Cinema and the films of Satyajit Ray.
The three films, 'Before The Rains', 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' and 'Sholay' will be shown from tonight (Wednesday, August 20) until Saturday, September 17.
Ghosh will be giving a 15-minute introduction to each film.
Before The Rains (12A) tells the story of an Englishman intent on opening a spice plantation in Kerala who attempts to gain the trust of the local villagers and destroys numerous lives in the process.
The film will be shown tonight (Wednesday), Tuesday August 26 and Saturday, August 30.
On Saturday, September 6 'Lage Raho Munnabhai (Cert PG) will be shown. The film is a smash hit Bollywood comic romance directed by Rajkumar Hirani.
Sholay (Cert PG) will be available to watch at The Dukes on September 17.
Dubbed the greatest film in Bollywood cinema, the film has had one of the longest theatrical runs in Bollywood history and is an epic movie in the same way that Sergio Leone's The Good, The Bad and The Ugly was a definitive Western.
For more details about any of these films, please call The Dukes on 0845 344 0654.
