The fourth Bollywood film festival in Poland opens Monday but this time there won’t be any movies of superstar Shah Rukh Khan.This is the first time this has happened. Though the distributors were keen to organise a special show of "My Name Is Khan", they could not persuade the 20th Century Fox, distributor of the movie, to agree.
Shah Rukh’s popularity in Poland is amazing and every Bollywood buff knows him. His biography has been translated into Polish.King Khan is being replaced by "Singh Is Kinng" (Akshay Kumar). It is a great opportunity for Akshay Kumar to make a place in Polish psyche with his masala dances.
Apart from the Akshay starrer, films selected for screening include "Laaga Chunari Mein Daag", "Tandoori Love", "Amal", "Dulha Mil Gaya", "Jannat", "Blue" and "Videsh".
The festival is being organised by EPLPOL, a prominent distributor of Hindi films, along with Multikino, a chain of multiplexes in Poland. The organisers this time selected cities like Krakow, Wroclaw, Poznan, Gdansk, Gdynia, Szczecin and Zabrze apart from capital Warsaw to screen the movies.
Bollywood films have become a regular diet for Poles. Bollywood has raised the profile of India throughout Poland.
