Mumbai
(UNI):
In
an
effort
to
treat
audience
with
more
foreign
films
on
silver
screen
than
just
English
movies,
Palador
Pictures
has
tied-up
with
Inox
and
Cinemax
multiplexes
to
show
about
200
foreign
flicks
to
movie
buffs.
Palador
Pictures
managing
director
Gautam
Shiknis
told
mediapersons
here
today
that
under
the
tie-up
with
the
two
multiplexes
-
named
Reeload,
the
first
series
of
films,
including
Chinese,
French,
Italian
and
in
various
other
foreign
languages,
will
be
released
in
July
across
Mumbai
for
select
community
viewing,
before
a
wider
release.
At
present,
not
a
single
theatre
in
India
screens
good
films
made
by
globally
renowned
filmmakers
like
Kristoff
Kieslowski,
Akira
Kurosawa
or
David
Lynch
on
a
consistent
basis,
Shiknis
lamented.
For
this,
Reeload
would
screen
foreign
films
of
diverse
nature
and
production
for
Indian
audience,
on
a
experimental
basis
for
two
years,
he
said
and
added
that
he
expects
the
market
for
foreign
films
in
India
to
cross
Rs
100
crore
by
2008.
Cinemax
managing
director
Hiral
Kanakia
said
the
growth
of
multiplexes
can
be
attributed
to
the
increasing
import
of
foreign
films,
and
Reeload
will
bring
critically
acclaimed
world-class
movies
to
Indian
audience.
Inox
vice
president
(marketing)
Shrikant
Hazare
also
expressed
hope
that
the
audience
would
enjoy
diverse
foreign
films,
to
be
screened
in
their
multiplexes
in
Mumbai
and
Pune.
On
the
occasion,
noted
director-producer
Rakyesh
Omprakash
Mehra
of
Rang
de
Basanti'
fame
said,
''I
feel
it
will
take
some
time
before
one
can
see
a
commerical
foreign
release
on
a
day-to-day
basis.''
To
a
poser,
Mehra
also
said
Palador
is
trying
to
form
a
movie
library
to
make
a
good
collection
of
world's
greatest
and
acclaimed
movies.
