Pankaj Tripathi’s Film “Mango Dreams” Releases in India on May 16
The movie “Mango Dreams” starring the famous actor Pankaj Tripathi is finally going to release in India. This movie has already been shown at many important film festivals around the world. From May 16, people in India can also watch it on the OTT platform Open Theatre.
What is the Movie About?
“Mango Dreams” is directed by an American filmmaker named John Upchurch. In the movie, Pankaj Tripathi plays a Muslim auto driver who becomes good friends with a Hindu doctor played by Ram Gopal Bajaj. The two go on a journey together across India to find the doctor’s childhood home.
The movie shows how two people from different religions and backgrounds can become close friends. It uses the difficult relationship between India and Pakistan as an example of how people get divided. But the movie gives a message of hope that such divides can be healed.
Other actors in the movie are Sameer Kochhar, Rohini Hattangadi, S.M. Zaheer, and Farah Ahsan.
What the Director Says
The director John Upchurch is very happy that his movie is finally releasing in India on an independent platform. He says, “The story is about the relationship between two brothers – India and Pakistan – who got separated when young. Their difficult relations show the conflicts troubling many parts of the world. However, ‘Mango Dreams’ gives hope that people can come together again. Though the movie is set in India, its message about overcoming divisions is universal.”
