Rasika Dugal’s Lord Curzon Ki Haveli to have world premiere at Indian Film Festival of Melbourne

The much talked about black comedy thriller Lord Curzon Ki Haveli, directed by actor-director Anshuman Jha, will make its world premiere at the prestigious IFFM 2023, Australia, as ‘Centrepiece Spotlight Film’ (Official Selection – Out Of Competition), starring Arjun Mathur, Rasika Dugal, Paresh Pahuja, Zoha Rahman & Tanmay Dhaninia. 

This film is the first mainstream Indian feature film to be shot using a single lens & is a revelatory tale about the Asian diaspora in the UK. Filmed in the UK last year, it is touted as a unique new-age cinema experience. In his evaluation, Paolo Bertolin has described Lord Curzon Ki Haveli as “a cinematic work that muses on identity and gender within the framework of an entertaining mystery.”

Says Anshuman “I am thrilled to present ‘Lord Curzon Ki Haveli’ at Indian Film Festival Of Melbourne 2023. I thank the jury at IFFM 2023 for selecting us as the ‘Centrepiece Spotlight’. And I am very grateful to my team and Golden Ratio Films for their trust and support through this challenging but memorable experience. We are excited to start the film’s festival run in Australia & I hope the audience enjoys this cinematic journey. I hope Mr Alfred Hitchcock is blessing us from there as this is my homage to him.”

Adding to this, Rasika said, “I am delighted that our film is premiering at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne which always has a discerning audience with an appetite for fun! It was an absolute joy collaborating with and playing off my co-actors who helped me experience Ira in a very special way – a woman who navigates and negotiates patriarchy with an undeniable spirit and with a sense of mischief. I hope the film resonates with the audience”.

The film was produced by Golden Ratio Films and First Ray Films. It will have its UK Premiere, American Premiere, and Indian Premiere before a worldwide release in the coming months.
