Tata Sky Movies: International award winning movies on Tata Sky DTH

I am a total movie buff, but I like movies which are deep and with perspectives. We, in India, think that Hollywood and Bollywood make up the whole movie making world but it is actually not so. There is some great cinema made across world in Greece, Mexico, China, Korea, Egypt and even Iran. Sadly, the world cinema has eluded movie lovers in India for long except at an odd international film festival.

Thanks to Tata Sky, we now have channels like NDTV Luminere and UTV World Movies which brings world class contemporary cinema from across the globe right into our drawing rooms. Last Saturday, I saw an excellent Egyptian movie on NDTV Lumiere as a part of their Cannes Award Winning film series. The movie is called “Heya Fawda” which means “This Chaos” by an award winning Egyptian director Youssef Chahine. The film is a social critique on the corrupt Egyptian state and how a small town policeman Hatem becomes a law onto himself. The story is about how his neighbor, the beautiful school teacher named Nour and an upright lawyer named Sherif outwit this evil cop and bring him to justice. I absolutely loved the movie and would recommend it to you.

I think it is really great that Tata Sky brings us this opportunity to watch such great movies from across the globe. NDTV Lumiere is available on Tata Sky’s Cosmo Pack. If you an avid lover of contemporary and award winning movies, Cosmo pack is the pack for you.
