Mahesh Bhatt, Sayani Gupta, Mita Vashisht, Anup Soni, Saumya Tandon, Helly Shah and several other celebrities attended an exclusive screening of the Oscar-qualifying films Holy Curse and Humans in the Loop, making it a star-studded cinematic evening while they all also share their mind-blowing thoughts upon the same.
00:00Lords, India's first roadside legal assistance platform.
00:03The car accident and the car accident.
00:06In such a situation...
00:07To solve the on-the-spot, launched Lawyer on the Spot.
00:11One of the most significant start-up presentations with conviction I have seen in this platform.
00:17This is the biggest deal of Indian television.
00:21Ideabaz, Harshaniwar and Ravivaar, Shamsaadhechhe and you're at 11.00.
00:24ZTV and ZViper.
00:30I'm not sure what you do.
02:26How is it like being in a film festival to happen?
02:30Oscar films are being screened right now.
02:32You know, Tasveer obviously has been doing tremendous work and Rita and the entire team, honestly, they've been at it and I keep hearing about it.
02:42I genuinely want to travel, you know, and go to the film festival over there in America.
02:48But I'm so glad that they're doing this and they've brought the films here, of course, Human in the Loop and the short film.
02:55It's I think it's an amazing platform for young storytellers and good films.
03:01And we need more platforms, you know.
03:04So I think the heart and the intent with which Tasveer has been happening over the years and is amazing.
03:12And I'm really happy and I'm very grateful that they called me for this.
03:17I'm very happy to be here.
03:18Hi, Peeta Ma'am.
03:19Hi.
03:20Mr. Paul, it's really good to see you.
03:22I'm very excited about seeing these films and I'm so glad to get an opportunity to see them because
03:30in fact, I was in fact, two, three days ago, I was reading about these films and I was saying,
03:38I wonder when I'll get to see them.
03:40And then next thing is, I got this message about the festival and the fact that these films are going to be here.
03:45So it's like a non-missable festival.
03:47Yes, there are a couple of things that I mean, that I'm going to release this year.
03:58This year meaning the coming year.
04:00So there's a film and there are two other films that I'm shooting for.
04:04They are great people.
04:05Not me.
04:06I'm here to support them.
04:10Thank you, sir.
04:10If I can get them, stand on my shoulder and reach the heights that they deserve to go.
04:15We are already standing on your shoulder.
04:16We are standing on your shoulder.
04:18Yes, sir.
04:19He's the one who built it, paved the path and we are walking on that path.
04:24He did that manji.
04:26Manji.
04:29I think we are here for cinema and we love cinema.
04:33That's why we are supporting and we are together.
04:36And Tasmeer is doing already great from these 23 years.
04:39And I'm really honoured and grateful to be collaborating with Tasmeer.
04:44How do you answer in Hindi or in English?
04:46First of all, when you have a passionate woman like her who comes all the way from Seattle
04:55to promote cinema, independent cinema, which is not assembly line, market-driven, but based
05:04on the human impulse of the artist.
05:06And not only just gives verbal support, but also works on the ground, does field work.
05:14That means the need for people to believe that all is not lost is here.
05:20She is the person.
05:21There are people there who will support you.
05:25And I think in this time when there is a tie-up between Netflix and Warner and 83 billion
05:31dollar deals are being done and there is the who's who of Hollywood is getting scared that
05:37it's the last coffin, last name in the coffin of cinema, right?
05:45Francis Cote Carpenter said that.
05:47I don't agree with that because when you have people, filmmakers, and you have writers,
05:54actors who are passionately burning to express themselves as they taste and experience life,
06:01nothing is lost.
06:04The sun will rise and cinema will live on because the need to tell stories, every civilization
06:10searches for the truth.
06:12And how do you search for the truth?
06:14Through stories.
06:15And we tell stories, we live life, we process it through our body and we go out there with
06:22a skill and express ourselves.
06:24And as long as we do that, we are fine.
06:27Our stories will never die.
06:29We will always find a way to live and come alive.
06:34It's wonderful to see the kind of people who come in here.
06:37I am a big cinephile.
06:39I love cinema from across the world and I watch all kinds of films, independent, small films.
06:44I don't believe that there are small films or big films.
06:47There are just good films.
06:48An event like this brings all the people together who love good cinema.
06:52And that's why for me, Tasmeer is one of the beautiful festivals which brings, they do
06:56the kind of festival where the right kind of people, the right kind of cinema is spread
07:00across the world.
07:00I'm very happy to be part of this and really looking forward to watching some exciting films.
