Raja Menon’s ‘Barah Aana’ starring Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Raaz, and Arjun Mathur, after having received rave reviews in the New York Times, The Herald Tribune, and other international journals as well as being critically acclaimed domestically, has now been selected by the 45th Chicago International Film Festival. Interestingly film personalities including Aamir Khan, John Abraham, Imran Khan, Zoya Akhtar, and many others have also endorsed the film.
The ‘45th Chicago International Film Festival’, is one of North America’s most prestigious, and oldest film festivals. The film will be in the World Cinema section, a section that showcased such great filmmakers as Wong kar wai, and Majid Majidi last year. The film travels to other festivals in New Jersey, Seattle, and New York in the months of Oct and Nov after which it hopes to be showcased in the European festival circuit.
