The National Award-winning director Rima Das' film Tora's Husband is also on the schedule. The Covid-19 pandemic serves as the setting for her most recent film, which will be the first Indian movie to be included in the renowned Platform section.
Digital Desk: A total of five Indian
movies are set to have their world premieres during the Toronto International
Film Festival (TIFF), which will return in 2022 with screenings in theatres.
The debut film Kacchey Limbu from
director Shubham Yogi will be one of the main draws for the community this year
because the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has a sizable Indo-Canadian population.
This is a film about embracing possibility - and playing not to win, but for
the pure pleasure of the game, according to TIFF, which said about the movie.
"Whether it's about playing an old sport in a new way, challenging sexist
traditions, or changing your mind about what you want to be," TIFF said
about the movie. The filmmakers describe this movie as a "coming-of-age
sibling drama" with a cricket theme and Radhika Madan as the lead.
Another
attraction might be the film Zwigato by filmmaker Nandita Das, which portrays
Indian comedian Kapil Sharma in the role of a food delivery app driver. TIFF
describes the movie as having a "realist style" and portraying
"an everyday man who begins to see the maddening cycle of star ratings and
delivery quotas for the hollow incentives they are, slowly opening up to ideas
about workers' rights and solidarity." The movie is a critique of the gig
economy amid the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

While these
films are fiction, this year's documentary While We Watched, directed by Vinay
Shukla, will be shown at the festival. It features TV journalist Ravish Kumar in
the lead role. The production, according to TIFF, "has its roots in India,
but its portrayal of false information undermining fact-based news might apply
to any number of places, from Russia to the United States."

Three Indian
films were screened at TIFF the previous year, but just one will be in 2020
because of Covid-19, which caused the festival to go exclusively online. There
were four Indian films in 2019 prior to the pandemic.
The festival
runs from September 8 to 18.
