What the Soviet Union was for Raj Kapoor in the 1950s and 1960s, Poland is now for Shah Rukh Khan in the first decade of the 21st century. No wonder, the organizers have included Shah Rukh's latest successful movie , Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi," said Janusz Krzyzowski, President of the India-Polish Cultural Committee. Shah Rukh Khan has become a household name in Poland. For the past four years his movies, such as Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kal Ho Na Ho, Kabhi Alwida Na Kehna, Main Hoon Na, Dil Se and many others, have been shown in Poland. This time Aamir Khan's Taare Zameen Par will be featured. "The chances are that Aamir will leave a great impression on us. After all he commands a great respect everywhere. And why not in Poland!" said Anna Bem, an Indophile who has lived in India for many years.
Tarun Mansukhani's Dostana, John Jeffcoat's Outsourced, Atul Agnihori's Hello, and Vijay Krishna Acharya's Tashan will also be screened during the festival. "The set of films will present the true and various colours of a contemporary India to a Polish audience. We await the verdict of Polish audience," said Srikumar Menon, head of the commercial wing at the Indian embassy here.
