Via Darjeeling is a first major film co-produced by NFDC after a sabbatical. NFDC has so far produced and financed more than 300 films in 15 Indian languages and has more than 15 international co-productions to its credit. Its catalogue includes films like Gandhi, Salaam Bombay, Massey Sahib, The Making of Mahatma, and Train to Pakistan. NFDC has worked with some of most acclaimed filmmakers like Satyajit Ray, Shyam Benegal, Mrinal Sen, Mira Nair, Aparna Sen, Ketan Mehta and Girish Kasaravalli.
NFDC managing director Nina Lath Gupta says, “Via Darjeeling has a very strong and interesting storyline. The concept of the film was very intriguing and stars several talented actors. Keeping in mind the repertoire of our previous films we thought Via Darjeeling had all the ingredients to be part of NFDC. I hope the film does well and encourages more young and talented filmmakers to make good and meaningful cinema.”
Another film that NFDC is producing is called Bioscope. Its upcoming co-productions include Lucky Red Seeds, Bubble Gum and The White Elephant.
