"Brand Bollywood" is not only about Bollywood!

This fascinating documentary takes us on a dynamic journey outside of the mainstream to achieve a deeper understanding of Indian Cinema.

With a creatively personalised "India" as our narrator and a vibrating fast-paced edit, Brand Bollywood thrives in telling us the evolution of Indian Cinema, the Indian film market, and the relationship between Bollywood and Australia. In times like this, when most people considers Bollywood as the opium of the people, this documentary came to show us much more and from different perspectives. As I am a history and cultural-enthusiastic myself, I found it insightful as well as entertaining. Most importantly, on a general view, this documentary unfolds the truth of Cinema, both its Art and Business sides, and therefore, I recommend it to any professional filmmaker, film student or anyone interested in knowing about the 7th art industry.

A well-crafted folk horror short with excellent performance. Great cinematography, good pacing with awesome work from the costume and art team, enough to give us the taste of the medieval period. It felt more of a period-drama with dark folk scenes without too much of the horror genre, but still very appealing. I watched this short at Angaelica Film Festival, and I completely fell in love with it!
