The director of the state film center 'Kyrgyzfilm', Almaz Tulekeev, noted in an interview with vb.kg that Kyrgyzstan actively participates in organizing film festivals from various countries. Last year, national film festivals from ten countries were held, including Russia, France, and China. He emphasized that such events help people learn about each other's cultures, and cinema is indeed an accessible language of communication. "We have always been close to India, and such festivals provide an opportunity for Kyrgyz people to get acquainted with Indian culture through cinema," Tulekeev noted.
According to Almaz Tulekeev, interest in Indian cinema in Kyrgyzstan remains strong. "In November last year, the festival filled the hall, and I am confident that this time the interest will be no less. Last year, we showed six films and five feature films, which confirms the popularity of Indian cinema among our viewers," he added.
The 'Kauhar' ensemble, a successful participant in international competitions, presented a colorful show titled "Rhythms of Bollywood." The film screenings began on March 15 and will continue until March 18 at the House of Cinema.

Indian cinema typically creates a special emotional atmosphere. The success of Indian films lies not only in the talent of the actors but also in their ability to distract viewers from worries, immersing them in a world of music, dance, and vibrant plots. Indian cinema continues to thrive, attracting millions of viewers worldwide, and during these days, Kyrgyz people will once again become part of this vast audience.
