So proud of Amiruddin Jallaluddin Shah leaping to great heights as always. He is the “the boy with long name”of Yeh Ballet but cldn’t play himself as he is a student at the exclusive Royal Ballet.
London's Royal Ballet was a hop, skip and jump away from Mumbai's slums where he grew up. The story of Amaruddin Shah who inspired Netflix's "Yeh Ballet".

Mississippi Masala was the first film to explore the racism of Indians & we were attacked for it. “We are not like that” was the refrain. But we are!
When Adam Purinton shows up with a gun in Kansas City bar and says "Get out of my country" to two Indian men who he thinks might be Iranian, he is racist. When a mob in Noida says the same to every dark skinned African it can find, it's a culture clash?

As a scriptwriter for the past 35 years I agree 💯 Thank you so much for your appreciation!
A good script with less known actors is always better than shitty script with a star studded cast. Yeh Ballet (2020) is a prime example of it. Churns out every emotion and squeezes out the tears. Can't help but feel hopeful after the watch. Brilliant movie!

As someone who once went to the Frankfurt bookfair with my solitary title - my self published photobook PARSIS & found a copublisher there for the 2nd ed - the late Peter Mayer the only person in Frankfurt who knew what a Parsi was.
"I miss saying sorry I’m running late but…"
And other things we miss about the world's largest book fair.
