Stars: Gary Oldman, Olga Kurylenko, Amit Shah, William Moseley, Dermot Mulroney, Alicia Agneson | Written by Zackary Adler, James Edward Barker, Andy Conway, Nicky Tate | Directed by Zackary Adler
Set against a gritty London backdrop, Olga Kurylenko plays a tough motorbike courier whose day takes a wrong turn after discovering a package she’s carrying is a bomb… The target? Nick Murch (Amit Shah), the only witness able to testify against ruthless crime lord Ezekiel Mannings (Gary Oldman). As the British Police and FBI scramble to deal with the mess, the mysteriously well-trained and equipped courier teams up with unlikely partner Nick to evade Mannings’ heavily armed goons and make sure that justice is delivered.
The Courier is one of those films that can be succinctly summed up in one comparative sentence. In this case it’s “Die Hard in a parking garage”. Only this is a Female led Die Hard,...

Sidharth Sharma’s Birmingham and London set feature debut Arjun & Alison is all set to enjoy its World Premiere on June 30 at the London Indian Film Festival (June 20 – July 3). Disturbed by events he encountered before making the film, Sharma has launched an initiative called Fight Against Racism (Far).
Arjun & Alison is an unflinching look at a racially motivated murder and its aftermath. It successfully pulls off the feats of taking a balanced look at race relations in contemporary Britain, the dorm lives of overseas students and the country’s thriving drug and gun subculture. Featuring an all-British cast and crew and an Indo-British director and finance, the film is a shining example of co-production between two countries linked forever by history and culture.
Director Sidharth Sharma says, “The story of Arjun & Alison was inspired after true life events, when I got caught up in the Birmingham riots of 2009. I witnessed them,...

The 3rd edition of the London Indian Film Festival (June 20 – July 3) features World Premieres of two provocative British films, Tooting Broadway (June 22) and Arjun & Alison (June 30) with the entire cast and crew of both films attending.
Tooting Broadway is a racy urban flick about Tamil and Caribbean gang rivalries set in South London and the conflicts within the central character torn between his loyalty to his increasingly dangerous mates and the need to escape to a better life. The fast paced story features a star-making turn from Elizabeth Henstridge, Britain’s latest export to Hollywood.
Director Devanand Shanmugam says: “Tooting Broadway was born when Producer Joshua Clement pitched his idea to me over one of our creative brainstorming meetings. He suggested that we make a film about the Tamils living in the UK, which is connected to our Tamil backgrounds and it was a good idea because no British or...
