Award-winning first feature of 26 year old Shubhashish Bhutiani is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the British Film Institute's India on Film season. 'Hotel Salvation' (Mukti Bhawan), premiered in the UK on June 27 at BFI Southbank, followed by a Q&A session with the director.
The National Award-winning filmmaker who has delivered two successful films is currently touted as a talent to watch. His 'Hotel Salvation' has already won ten Indian and international film awards including Best Film at the 2017 New York Indian Film Festival, and the Prix Enrico Fulchignoni at last years' Venice Film Festival. The film is also seen as a strong contender to be India's Academy Award entry in 2018.
An uplifting movie about life, 'Hotel Salvation' features Rajiv, an over-worked, middle-aged son forced to accompany his 77 year old father Daya, who is seaking salvation in the holy city of Varanasi.
