Bollywood Festival 2014

Producing far more movies and even drawing bigger audiences than its American cousin, Bollywood has been on the rise in Japan as well in recent years. The boom reached a new high with the 2009 comedy-drama 3 Idiots, which became the highest-grossing Indian film in Japan ever. In addition to that massive hit, this three-part program features the 2013 action-comedy blast Chennai Express and sci-fi blockbuster Krrish 3 (2013), giving viewers a hard-hitting introduction to mainstream Indian cinema.

Note that all films are shown with Japanese subtitles only.
