The movie is no less enigmatic than its title. “Taking the Horse to Eat Jalebis” (Ghode Ko Jalebi Khilane Le Ja Riya Hoon), by the theatre veteran Anamika Haksar, is an intriguing hybrid of a feature and documentary, experimenting both with its form and structure. Premiered at the New Frontier section of Sundance Festival, the film at times seems rather a contemporary art video installation combined with an unconventional theatre performance.

Umesh Kulkarni’s much-awaited film Highway has now been shifted to 28th August 2015.
Explaining why, the acclaimed filmmaker shares, “One of the reason we postponed the film is because there were not enough screens available to release the film. Anyways there is always a problem in getting prime slots for Marathi films and with Baahubali and Bajrangi Bhaijaan still running on the main shows, we decided to wait it out.” Taking the change of release dates in his stride, the filmmaker isn’t complaining as he adds, “The shift also gave us some time to work on the title animation properly.”
Produced by Vinay Vaman Ganu and co-produced by Arbhaat films, Highway – Ek Selfie Aarpar is a journey of self-discovery and doesn’t have one or two, but 30 lead actors, including Huma Qureshi, Tisca Chopra, Girish Kulkarni, Renuka Shahane, Mukta Barve, Sunil Barve, Kishore Kadam, Nagraj Manjule to name a few.
