Bollywood Festival in Brazil

Bollywood is certainly going places and now its Brazil’s turn to host a Bollywood festival. The festival will commence on March 6.

As Hindi cinema becomes popular in more and more places around the world, we hear about this festival or that celebrating the industry. Now, for the first time ever, a Hindi Film festival is taking place in Brazil. A host of Hindi films will be showcased at the Bollywood Film Festival at Cinemateca in Sao Paulo.

March 6 to the 11 are the dates for the event and amongst those presenting their films is the YRF banner, which will screen its action-packed blockbuster Dhoom 2. This is all the more special for Yashraj because Dhoom 2 is the first Indian film ever to be shot in Brazil.

As a part of this promotion, Brazilian audiences will get to see Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai, Uday Chopra and Bipasha Basu shake a leg in locations across Brazil, like the Sugarloaf Mountain and the beaches of Ipanema.

Among the other films that will be screened at the festival include the mega-hit Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and the critically acclaimed Ayesha Dharkar starrer The Terrorist.

We all know ‘Bollywood’ is as big as it gets; and now even Brazil has taken heed. The President of the Indo-Brasilian Chamber of Commerce was quoted saying that 3.5 billion people watched Indian films in 100 countries last year.
