'ANDHADHUN' FOR ASPIRING FILMMAKERS?

Tabu & Ayushman Khurrana in Raghvan's Bollywood film 'Andhadhun' (2018).

Bollywood filmmaker Sriram Raghvan!

Neo-Noir genre fame Sriram Raghvan's.. Bollywood movie 'Andhadhun' (which shot in Pune) got appreciation in 'PIFF'..And I surprised! Because this movie is (nothing but) expanding feature work of a original French short film 'L' Accordeur' (2010) a precise cinematic work!

A blind pianist unwillingly becomes embroiled in murder is a basic plot of these films..And this was very precisely showed in original French short film 'L' Accordeur' (The Piano Tuner). Young filmmaker Oliver Treiner wrote & directed this film in which Gregoire Leprince-Ringuet played the protagonist aptly! This won 'Cesar Award for Best Short Film'!

French filmmaker Oliver Treiner.

On that 'Andhadhun's script writers and director developed the movie like Bollywood thriller. In this Ayushman Khurrana played that pianist sensibly with another developed character did by Tabu dynamically! 


That small budget bollywood movie earned more than hundred crores! And it's success story this festival forum presented in front of aspiring filmmakers!..What to say?
