Rakesh Mehta's Khudakushi to show at Buffalo, Cyprus fests

MUMBAI: Debutante Rakesh Mehta‘s art house film Khudakushi will be the Indian attraction at the Buffalo Film Festival, New York and also the Cyprus Film Festival, Greece.

The movie deals with serious issues like terrorism and reflects the dire situations persisting even in today‘s times.

The filmmaker has no qualms about stating bluntly that his film isn‘t meant for mainstream affair. The film has no star power riding on it nor does it offer song and dance sequences.

"There‘s no point in beating around the bush so I‘d prefer saying upfront that. there‘s no commercial viability in my film. I conceptualized the film for critical acclaim and I am glad that it has met its purpose," observes Mehta.

Though Khudakushi has so far won nine selections at various film festivals around the world and has already won two awards, Mehta doesn‘t intend releasing it in India.
