This weekend, we’re showing the long-awaited Mira Nair masterpiece “Salam Bombay!“. Created in 1988, this film is among three Indian films (Mother India, Salam Bombay and Lagaan) that have made it to the final five nominees at the Oscars.
Mira worked with “real” street children in this film. Long before the shooting started, she was in Bombay doing theater workshops and short performance with street kids as a part of her auditions for the film. The real life characters portrayed by the kids in this film are astonishing.
This film was nominated for Oscars and BAFTA awards, but won several others including Cannes, Cesar, Filmfare, Golden Globes, Montreal World Film Festival and National Film Awards India.
The Director: Mira Nair
One of the most successful Indian directors of her generation, Mira Nair started off making documentaries on the streets of Delhi before turning to feature films such as Salaam Bombay and Mississipi Masala.
