MISS L VELY
BOMBAY
1988
SYNOPSIS:
D
elving deep into the underbelly of India’s film industry, where back-alley producers churn out everything from pulpy horror movies to soft-core
porn, Miss Lovely is a wild ride that takes us back to the Mumbai of the
1980s with lurid detail and intoxicating style. Working out of sleazy hotels and abandoned warehouses, brothers Sonu (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) and Vicky (Anil George) are prolific producers of trashy, Cgrade films for Mumbai’s booming underground market. The ambitious, domineering Vicky is the unquestioned brains of the operation, leading the dimwitted Sonu deeper into a world of alcoholic divas, sleazy money men and movieloving gangsters. But this precarious partnership is put to the test when the brothers meet Pinky (Niharika Singh), an exquisite ingenue with a shady past.
DIRECTOR
A
shim Ahluwalia was born in Mumbai. He studied film at Bard College in New York moving on to direct commercials
at Arc Pictures NYC for iconic brands such as Givenchy and
Absolut Vodka. Ahluwalia moved back to Mumbai in 2000 and started directing commercials for a host of agencies and clients who were looking for someone with a fresh, edgy visual style. As a commercials director, Ashim’s reputation grew quickly and he began directing commercials for major brands such as Toyota, Visa, Maruti Suzuki, Sony and Lakme while he was still in his mid 20s. Ashim is also a reputed feature film director. His film John & Jane won awards at the European Media Art Festival and the Directors Guild of America, among numerous other international awards. It was the first Indian film to be distributed by HBO Films and continued to win prizes, including an Indian National Award. His second film, Miss Lovely, was the only official Indian selection at the Cannes Film Festival 2012. The film is being released in more than 20 countries and has won “Best Film” awards at MAMI and IFFLA. UK publishing house Phaidon named Ahluwalia as one of the world’s top emerging directors in their book “Take 100: The Future of Cinema.”
