‘Mere Haule Dost’ to bring fun Hyderabadi flavor to cinemas this June
PVR Director’s Rare to release Nitin Raghunath’s movie on 7th June
Mumbai, May 14th, 2013: PVR Director’s Rare is all set to bring a fun and quirky movie ‘Mere Haule Dost’ on 7th June, 2013. The movie is directed by Nitin Raghunath, a California based tech professional who has earlier made films like ‘Turjya’, 'Kashish'(Selected for Cannes Short film Corner 2011) & ‘Explorer’ (San Francisco Short Film Festival).
Mere Haule Dost is a coming of age movie set against the backdrop of lives of five laid-back friends in the city of Hyderabad. It’s an exhilarating journey of friendship, girls, parties, bikes, madness and their thrill for the Himalayan bike rally. It all starts with the fascination of these eccentric friends with the Himalayan Bike Rally, which they want to participate in. Given their messed-up lives, it doesn’t come easy for these young boys to cough up money for the trip. It is a lighthearted depiction of self discovery, adventure, growing up, friendships and optimism.
Speaking on the release, Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, JMD, PVR Ltd. said “Mere Haule Dost is an interesting addition to the Director’s Rare portfolio. Our aim always is to bring new and different kind of cinema to our patrons. I hope ‘Mere Haule Dost’ strikes a chord with the independent cinema loving audience.
Director of the movie, Nitin Raghunath said, “Mere Haule Dost is a young adult film that I envisioned when I was in college. I wanted to make something that was not too stylistic but yet had elements of nostalgia and the vibe of a studio sitcom. As a storyteller, I am interested in sci-fi & action adventure subjects but this was a conscious effort to tell a story that was 360 degree opposite of what I normally engage with. I hope the audience sees this film as a refreshing take on the young adult film genre and has fun following these quirky characters around.”
The movie stars Anirudh Loka, Raghuvardhan Garlapati, Aadil Abedi, Rishit Samala, Kiran Gadalay, Preeti Gupta, Catherine Fallows, Zainab Lax, Yantisha Singh, Harika Vedula, Babita Punetha, Natasha Pamnani, Anand Natesh.
Mere Haule Dost! Will release on June 7th, 2013 through the PVR Director’s Rare banner.
