A festival or sort of festival will see Indian movies being played in a cinema near Liedsplien in the first weekend of June.

I am intrested in Salam Namaste, anyone else interested can join in.
PS: Also tell me how and where to get the tickets in Amsterdam, my Dutch language skills are limited.

2nd June, Firday @ 2015 - Bunty and Babli
A comic caper with Bollywood masala served spicy and
tangy. Leave your rationale in the parking lot and you
drive back home smiling

3rd June, Saturday @ 2015 - Zinda
An experimental movie in terms of cinematography.
Zinda, which means alive in hindi, is the story of how
a simple day, like any other, changes the life of
the man forever

4th June, Sunday @ 1300 - Salaam Namaste
(BBC Review) Love and marriage are two vital
ingredients in Bollywood films, and it's rare for one
not to lead to the other. Kudos therefore to
writer/director Siddharth Raj Anand for taking a more
contemporary look at love and relationships in Salaam
Namaste, a romantic comedy in which an Indian chef
(Saif Ali Khan) and radio jockey (Preity Zinta) prefer
to share a bed than get wed. Littered with laughs and
one- liners, this is one entertainer that dares to
defy convention.

5th June, Monday @ 1200 - Lagaan
Undoubtedly the best of the lot. Was nominated for
Oscars. But will have to work on that day B) .. If you
want to watch just one movie in the festival and have
time on monday, I would recommend this movie
I once needed your boots, your clothes and your motorcycle.

Indojinguy, thanks for this! I nearly forgot about the festival.
I would also recommend Bunti & Bubli which was a hit in India last year and it's a great laugh.
The soundtrack is great and could be heard all over India when I was there.
When I was in Puskhar in January, Prem Joshua happened to be there for a gig in one of the temples.
It was all very magical. Full moon et all.. When the concert ended they blasted Kajra Re over the speakers as a last tune and thank you to Prem Joshua and the crowd went mad ! Everybody was singing & dancing!
A night which will linger in my memory for many years to come...

Enoy...
