\n\t\u201cMax, Min & Meowzaki\u201d will release in cinemas across India, distributed by Platoon One Films. <\/p>\n

\n\tDirected by Padmakumar Narasimhamurthy, the film debuted in Busan, was part of the Best of Fest selection at Palm Springs<\/a> and played at the International Film Festival of Kerala.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hindi and English-language feature also earned audience honors in Sonoma San Francisco and in Osaka, along with best feature wins at Stuttgart, Cincinnati, Berlin\u2019s Indo-German film week and RIFFA in Canada.<\/p>\n

\n\tNarasimhamurthy previously helmed \u201cA Billion Colour Story\u201d to critical acclaim. He\u2019s joined on this project by producers Samiksha and Shael Oswal of SSO Productions. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMax, Min & Meowzaki\u201d follows three generations of Mahadevan men who find themselves suddenly single at the same time, weaving together stories of messy young relationships, family ties, differing ideologies and sexualities, therapy and healing, all set against the backdrop of a cat named after Japanese filmmaker Miyazaki Hayao.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe cast includes Adil Hussain<\/a>, Mandira Bedi, Nasser, Nafisa Ali, Siddharth Menon, Medha Shankr and Vidhatri Bandi, with a cameo from animation filmmaker Gitanjali Rao.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMax, Min & Meowzaki\u201d opens in Indian cinemas July 24.<\/p>\n

\n\tShiladitya Bora, founder of Platoon One Films, said: \u201c\u2018Max Min & Meowzaki\u2019 reminds us why we go to the movies: to feel something together. Platoon One Films exists to back singular voices and ensure their work reaches audiences in theatres, as intended. We\u2019re committed to bold, uncompromised Indian cinema that stays with you long after the credits \u2013 films that outlive the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEckhart Tolle says that when the collective pain-body\u00a0is dominated by violence, fear, outrage, and grief, the most valuable entertainment is what reconnects people with aliveness, beauty, humor, stillness, or compassion. I\u2019ve always believed in cinema that does this. I\u2019m glad I found a collaborator like Samiksha, and now Shila who comes from the same school of thought,\u201d Narasimhamurthy added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cMax, Min & Meowzaki\u201d will release in cinemas across India, distributed by Platoon One Films.
