Director Statement

Apna Apna Andaz is a tribute to every cinephile who has ever been passionately in love with the cinema and the obstacles they are willing to face to watch their favorite heroes and stories on screen. The film is roughly inspired from a true story, based in the Mumbai city during the mid 90's. Every person who has lived here and seen the madness of the fan base of the movies-goers in the single screens will find it nostalgic and relatable. A Movie Theater which unites art,artists and the audience, the film is an ode to that.
