What's so special about this year's Cannes Film Festival? Well, the fact that India is the official “Country Of Honour” this year, fuels the fire of pride and prestige. I&B Minister Anurag Thakur is all set to reciprocate by his participation in the Opening Night festivities of Marche Du Film at the French Riviera. A special screening will be showing the old Indian Classic movie “Pratidwandi” directed by Satyajit Ray as part of the Festival’s Cannes Classics selection. India will be showcasing six other movies including R Madhavan’s film “Rocketry”: The Nambi Effect” which will be having its premiere on the 19th.
