Lapachhapi on June 5, 2016. Brooklyn Film Festival, Windmill Studios... a
moment to cherish for India and Marathi cinema. This was the first ever Marathi
film at Brooklyn and the first Indian horror at the festival since 19 years of
inception.
The filmmakers were very well appreciated for their
efforts and the turnout was quite good despite the fact that there were
thundershowers that lashed Brooklyn last evening.
"The response of the audience was superb. They
emoted at the right places and we knew that the film was struck the right chord
not just with the Indian diaspora but the locals in the US as well and that was
the marketing strategy from day one," says S Ramachandran, Associate
Producer of Lapachhapi.
As for the director, he handled a series of questions
post screening with elan. "It was a good audience and they understood the
film despite the fact that we were showing the film in Marathi albeit with
English subtitles," he says.
Jitendra Patil, the producer of Lapachhapi knew that this
was a battle won. And now to fight the war.
Incidentally Lapachhapi did not just have the world
premiere at the festival. it was also the official selection at the festival,
making it the first Indian horror at Brooklyn and the first Marathi film ever at
Brooklyn since 19 years of its inception.
