New Delhi: Director Anand Gandhi's 'Ship Of Theseus' is getting a limited release but it has created a good buzz. The film features Aida Elkashef, Neeraj Kabi and Sohum Shah in the chief roles.
A story about human values, 'Ship of Theseus' features three characters - an experimental photographer, ailing intellectual monk and a stock broker. It has been openly praised by several Bollywood filmmakers and has won at prestigious film festivals. Intellectually, the Indian audiences have grown a lot in recent years, and now it's the time to give them such a film which can compete at international levels.
Films such as 'Ship Of Theseus' will pave the way for better indie films. Though Kiran Rao is backing the film but initially the film made the waves to make them notice. If the film is even half of what has been said about it, then the audience is going to witness a landmark film which may change the future course for independent films.
Rohit Vats of IBNLive was inside the theatre to live tweet the experience of 'Ship Of Theseus'.
