A Street Play - UK Asian Film Festival

This week we look ahead to the return of UK Asian Film Festival – the world's longest running South Asian film festival – from Sun 4 – Tue 6 May.

The programme brings together the best of independent South Asian cinema including a host of UK premieres, exclusive Q&As and more. Read on to explore the full programme.

Fourth and last movie - A Street Play / Nukkad Naatak (over 18 only)

Director: Tanmaya Shekhar
Cast: Molshri, Shivang Rajpal, Nirmala Hajra

Film duration: Protected content

The story of best friends Molshri and Shivang, who are leaders of their college street-theatre group.

While Molshri is a social justice warrior, always on the lookout to ‘fix society’, Shivang is secretly gay and struggles with his sexuality.
After being caught robbing the college canteen, the friends are expelled. To have any chance of re-instatement, they are presented with an impossible task – to enrol five children from an impoverished slum into a local school.

This screening is preceded by an intro and followed by a Q&A with director Tanmaya Shekhar and producer/lead actor Molshri.
