[FLASH NEWS]: Dev.D, Gulaal and Delhi 6 at the Venice Film Festival. See it to believe it!! The year of New wave..The year of Anurag.. The year of UTV

Wow thats something to celebrate…great catch man!
congratulations!!its definitely an honour…
Congrats, Anruag, @ Neeraj the list is for films that are being shown Out-of-competition. So nothing to great to celebrate about. Its like Devdas being screened at Cannes out-of-competition section. Or the Market section.
@ Ebrahim, The budget for Devdas was 50 Crores while the budget for Dev.D was 6 crores. Now what does it tell you? Its a good sign that smaller and more sensible films are making it to festivals. There are films like Jeans and others who have been sent to Oscars. The point is, when sensible films like Dev.d, Gulaal and Delhi 6 go to festivals they have a better chance of wining. Besides, even if they do not win they will try to undo all the image damage of Indian cinema which has been done by the stupid films going to festivals. Imagine, Kambhakt ishg was to premiere at Cannes! Thanks to the multiplex strike, it did not.
awesome… proven yet again that life bends in front of hard work determination passion commitment and dedication… this one is for his critics… (not in negatives or positive ones) … here is the chance to cheer and join the celebrations…
Anu Sir, my first post to you .. and in an actual way of feeling proud of life… all the very best..
Awesome!
congrats
Hello Anurag Sir, just read about the news of you, getting selected as the Jury member at the 66th Venice film festival.Wow great honor 2 a great person.
Congrats AK Sir
This seems like a really nice honor – and then when I read the news my main other reaction is, oh, I hope Anurag will feel free to report on his whole experience, once it’s over. I’d so much love to hear about how the whole thing really works and how it goes for him in particular.
@ Neeraj
I wonder why are you confusing these films in Venice as a matter of prestige? Or as a matter of fact films like Jeans reaching Cannes? To better clear your clouds of doubt:- A film festival is divided into:-
1) Competitive- the prestiguous section
2) A new cinema section
3)A market section, or non-competitive section…where every tom dick and harry can reach.
So Dev D, and Delhi-6 are part of midnight non-competitive screenings which is not a huge, huge, huge deal. Let’s think of them as like consolation prizes for the biggest film producing country in the world. After all, they need to be placed somewhere. The same would go for Cannes, or any major film festival.
Though we should celebrate, Amit Dutta’s new film being part of the Horizon section. Now that is worth writing about. And promoting.
