Colours of Passion in London

Colours of Passion in London

Ketan Mehta directed Rang Rasiya , internationally known as the Colours of Passion , will be screened at the BFI's 52nd London Film Festival on 26th October and 30th October. This will be followed by two screenings at the MIAAC (Museum of Arts and Design & Tribeca Cinemas) Film Festival in New York on 6th and 8th November respectively.

Father of the lead actress of the film and renowned economist Amartya Sen will be present on the screening on the last day of the festival. The film is produced by Deepa Sahi and Aanand Mahendroo. It stars Randeep Hooda, Nandana Sen, Paresh Rawal, and Jim Boeven.

The film depicts the life of the great Indian artist Raja Ravi Varma. The film also captures a love story of Shakespearean proportions; an intense tale of love betrayal and passion between the artist and his muse. Mehta's homage offers not only a spectacular insight into a turning point in Indian history, but also questions the freedom of the artist in contemporary society, exploring questions of moral policing, censorship and religious intolerance.
