THE IMAGINASIAN
CHAK DE INDIA (2007, India)
Starts Friday, playing Daily @ 3:45pm, 7pm & 10pm
Shah Rukh Khan in a massive, glittering Yash Chopra production. If that’s not enough for you: Shah Rukh Khan playing a down-on-his-luck soccer coach who takes a ragtag team to the World Cup. Still not enough? It’s directed by Shimit Amin, who also edited. And who’s this guy? He’s the director of AB TAK CHHAPPAN, one of the great corrupt cop movies of all time. This flick blew audiences away at the 2006 New York Asian Film Festival and he’s assembled the same technical team to do justice to this big budget feel good movie.

MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE
DEVDAS (India, 2002, an eternal number of minutes)
Friday, August 10 @ 7:30pm
Holy cow! If there’s one film event in the city not to miss, this is it. Nothing exceeds like excess, and this slightly soul-less remake of India's national romance, DEVDAS, exceeds in a grand manner. Three of India's biggest stars (Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai) give scenery-chewing performances on sets that look like Faberge eggs the size of football fields. Somehow, though, the movie worms its way into your heart over its three and a half hour running time and manages to grow a soul by the time the end credits roll. And when's the last time you saw that happen? Truly one of the great Bollywood movies.
