The Indian Film Festival has started in Bishkek
The large-scale Indian Film Festival has kicked off in Bishkek, taking place at the T. Abdumomunov Kyrgyz State Drama Theater. The Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of India to Kyrgyzstan, Mr. Birender Singh Yadav, emphasized the importance of cultural exchange, noting that national culture and traditions serve as a connecting link between peoples, regardless of the political situation. "Cinema is an art that communicates with us in a universal language, allowing us to forget about everyday worries. Indian films are filled with music, dance, and songs. Today, the audience will enjoy dance performances from famous Indian films, prepared by the folk ensemble 'Kauhar,'" he added.

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.

On March 15 at 12:00, viewers will be able to see the film "Mary Kom" (in Hindi, Russian dubbing), which tells the story of the difficult fate of Indian boxer Mary Kom.

On March 16 at 12:00, the screening of "Run, Milkha, Run" (in Hindi, Russian dubbing) will take place, narrating the path to success of Milkha Singh, who experienced the aftermath of the partition of India and Pakistan.

On March 17 at 12:00, the film "The Path of Bumba" (in Assamese, Russian subtitles) will be presented, telling the story of a primary school where there is only one student named Bumba.

On March 18 at 12:00, viewers will see the film "Commander" (in Marathi, Russian subtitles), about a 14-year-old boy with a strong voice who dreams of becoming the commander of a parade.

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.
