Thanks. Pretty stoked. Its at the winter Garden theatre which is so lovely. I've seen so many TIFF premieres there and never thought mine would ever end up there.
It's going to be hectic as it screens the day after I get back from the Venice festival.
 
".... the moving and beautifully lensed, Siddarth..." That's a great comment on the cinematography. Bringin' it!
 
NOW Toronto Review of Siddharth:

REVIEW BY RADHEYAN SIMONPILLAI NOW RATING: NNNN

Richie Mehta is quickly becoming a premier voice in Indian cinema despite the fact that he's from Canada. His sophomore feature about a man's desperate search for his missing son is an assured and harrowing look at the poverty and desperation in India's slums that makes tragedy so common.

In a performance both discreet and wrenching, Tailang plays Mahendra, a chain-wallah (he fixes zippers) who sends 12-year-old Siddarth to work out of town to help support the family. When Siddarth fails to return home, matters both trivial and critical frustrate Mahendra's scrupulous pursuit. He has barely enough money for the trip and doesn't even have a photo of his son to aid his investigation. A sociopolitical critique that doesn't interfere with the intimate story being told, Siddarth could be Canada's next foreign-language Oscar nominee.
