Island City

Ruchika OBEROI 2015 India Fiction b/w 111min English, Hindi DCP
In Mumbai, one event changes three different lives. A middle-aged man wins a "Fun
Committee Award," which entitles him to a whole day full of fun. Prescribed fun rules have to be followed and non-compliance is not an option. An unhappy family seeks some relief from a popular soap whose hero is an ideal man in every way. And finally, a girl with a repetitive factory job receives a mysterious love letter that changes everything... The film follows three comic-dramatic stories set in India, showing us a different story from Bollywood's fancy style.
