'Do Dooni Chaar', a heart-warming comedy about the dreams and challenges of a middle-class family, won the National Award for Best Hindi Film of the Year and Rishi Kapoor won Best Actor award for his role in the film at last month's 2011 New York Indian Film Festival.
'Once Upon A Warrior', the first ever Disney Telugu fantasy adventure about a swashbuckling warrior on an epic quest to save a mystical young girl from a wicked Queen, features some of the most advance special effects ever made in an Indian movie.
And 'Zokkomon', a thrilling Hindi action adventure movie about an ordinary boy who overcomes extraordinary challenges to become a magical hero, just had a limited run in US theatres and won rave reviews from top American critics.
The Los Angeles Times told it was 'a lively and engaging family film' and that 'the film's tour de force is Anupam Kher in his dual roles.'
Variety told 'Kher's delicious double duty in his contrasting roles is both a classic Bollywood conceit and a tip of the cap to the likes of Peter Sellers, George C. Scott and Peter Ustinov,' and added that 'Darsheel Safary brings loads of energy and goodwill to the action.'
