Shorts A at NYIFF 2025 A powerful screening of Shorts A was followed by an engaging Q&A with Anvita Brahmbhatt director of Over a Cup of Chai. Audiences connected deeply with the storiesโand the voices behind them. #nyiff2025 #indiancinema #filmfestival #nyc #indiefilms #movies


The screening of Hema and Pyre left audiences moved by two deeply personal stories of identity, isolation, & resilience. The experience was made even more meaningful with a Q&A featuring Pyre's director Vinod Kapri #nyiff2025 #indiancinema #filmfestival #nyc #indiefilms #movies


Gosh Zohran Kwame Mamdani has a big lead over Andrew Cuomo. What a dramatic development in the NYC and Democratic Party politics! This is earthshaking. Amazing!!!!

Thrilled for all the new The Academy inductees from India Ayushmann Khurrana Payal Kapadia (as writer and not director), @ranabirdas. But why did it AMPAS take so long to include Kamal Haasan in its fold. I see AMPAS having a bias against the South film industry.
