July 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Sofia Hayat recently attended the London Indian Film Festival with her director Indra Bhose, from the BBC adaption of Bizets Carmen, "Bollywood Carmen". She said, "the opening film, "Monsoon Shootings", is probably one of the best films I have seen in Indian Cinema. I do hope films like this get the distribution they deserve, they have the potential to change the way films are made in India, and give the audience thought provoking, intelligent cinema.
