(in English, and some Tamil with supertitles in English)
In 1998, a woman named Monica Besra was cured of a stomach tumor through a miracle wrought by Mother Teresa, setting in motion a chain of events that led to her new status in the Catholic Church - Saint Teresa. BLESSED is a fascinating tale based on that miracle, the cynical men and women who engineered it, the pulls and pushes that animate the Catholic Church, and the politics surrounding the creation of a new saint.

(in Hindi, with supertitles in English)
December 1971, a frigid morning in Delhi: a woman named Vilayat Mahal walks into the waiting room at the railway station and claims to be the legitimate descendant of Wajid Ali Shah, the last nawab of Oudh. The family has everything - a begum, a prince, a princess, Great Danes, opulent carpets, potted palms, a retinue of servants in livery - except the recognition they seek. Inspired by a true story in the New York Times, विलायत महल is a fictional tragi-comedy that re-imagines the life of Begum Vilayat Mahal, her run-in with Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her strange 'reign' as Begum of Oudh.
