VENICE India is on the verge of a fresh influx of more Western-style narrative film, as social and economic changes in the subcontinent begin to work their way into popular culture.
With a strong presence at this year’s Venice Film Festival — where three Indian films screened and the director of two of them, Anurag Kashyap, served on the main jury — the shift is beginning to gain wider attention.

Midnight screenings of Kashyap’s newly released take on a classic story of love and self-pity “Dev D.” and political movie “Gulaal” — whose release had been held up for three years — along with an airing of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s tale of human evil “Delhi-6″ added a new element to the Lido’s more traditional mix of European and Hollywood fare.
