Miss Lovely

35MM | 1.85:1 | HINDI | DOLBY DIGITAL | COLOR | 113 MIN | 2012

A baroque tale of betrayal and doomed love that explores Bombay’s cinematic underbelly. 

Set in the lower depths of Bombay's "C" grade film industry, Miss Lovely follows the devastating story of two brothers who produce sex horror films in the mid-1980s. A sordid tale of betrayal and doomed love, the film dives into the lower depths of the Bollywood underground, an audacious cinema with baroque cinemascope compositions, lurid art direction, wild background soundtracks, and gut-wrenching melodrama.

Starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Anil George, Niharika Singh, Menaka Lalwani & Zeena Bhatia
