  • Geetanjali Thapa, Olivia Dejonge, Robert Aramayo, Cynthia Nixon
    Directed by Sonejuhi Sinha Written by Sonejuhi Sinha and Charlotte Rabate Starring: Geetanjali Thapa, Olivia DeJonge, Robert Aramayo, Cynthia Nixon TRT:​ 97 mins Country:​ ​ USA ​ Language:​ English, Nepali Press Contact: ​Ryan Boring / Samuel Goldwyn Films / [email protected] LOGLINE When a young woman gets caught in a web of crime, she must make dangerous decisions that will define her new life as an American. SYNOPSIS Riz, a recently arrived immigrant and ex-gang member, works at a motel in hopes of starting her life over in America. At the motel, Riz meets Dallas, a bold runaway who is also a recovering drug and sex addict. Together the girls conspire to rob the motel owner (Cynthia Nixon), which sets off a series of violent events where the girls are forced to take matters into their own hands. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: SONEJUHI SINHA Stray Dolls is a love story between a recent immigrant from India, Riz, and Dallas, a young American runaway. It’s a story about how these two young women have to turn to crime in order to survive and gain agency of their life. It is a story about outsiders in America and grapples with the dilemma of whether it is possible to be good in an environment that is flawed. In Stray Dolls, it's not just that Riz is an outsider, but so are Dallas and the Eastern European motel owner, Una. They are all equally pathetic, trying to make the best of their circumstances. They all take agency in the most flawed ways because the world around them is so flawed.

    9ROXPH,,,,VVXH,0DUFK,661 An Overview of Indian Film *Prof. B.P.Mahesh Chandra Guru University of Mysore ** Mr.Nagaraja Murthy *** Mr.M.Dileep Kumar **** Mr.Gundappa Preamble Film is described as an effective and influencing medium of communication in modern society. The latest technological innovations and production techniques have enriched the capacity of the film medium as an audio-visual medium of communication. It is so much blended with a mass appeal as no other medium can shift or replace its space.

India has emerged as a media super power over a period of time and India produces largest number of news reels, documentaries and films in the world. Film industry has grown commendably over a period of time in India. India produces largest number of news reels, documentaries and feature films in the world according to the latest statistics. In this paper an overview of Indian film is presented on the basis of review of relevant literature. Film industry has grown commendably over a period of time in India.
