Four films from each country will be screened at the festival and awards will be conferred on the best ones chosen by the dedicated jury towards the end of the event. Kaushik Ganguly’s Cinemawala, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani and Ram Reddy’s Thithi are the other three Indian films that will be showcased at the festival.
