Manchester Indian Film Festival returns with a rich array of cutting-edge new cinema premieres from India and around South Asia, many of them cherry-picked from the finest film festivals around the world, plus restorations of magnificent classics of Indian cinema. Singer-composer Neel Dutt’s directorial debut revisits the enduring wedding genre by following the Bengali nuptials of Sromona and Rohan, as they bring friends, relatives, and exes under one roof. This sharp ensemble drama peels back the spectacle of celebration to reveal a web of lies, fractures, and quiet disappointments. Witty and emotionally grounded, it offers a contemporary portrait of love, identity, and societal expectation. The film premiered in Paris at the Gange Sur Seine 2025, where it won a Special Jury Award. In partnership with Baithak UK and Bengal Heritage Foundation. Tickets on sale now! by @welovemiff

Check out what is coming to CULTPLEX! New Brit Asian Shorts Programme: THU 16 JULY | 7:30PM A selection of brilliant short films from exciting and emerging filmmakers from the UK. From award-winning dramas to insightful documentaries, we’re showcasing a rarely presented slice of life of Asian Britain today. Expect a dynamic discussion with these talented filmmakers on stage. Gandu: FRI 17 JULY | 7:30PM Asshole (Gandu) directed by cult Bengali filmmaker called ‘Q’ (Qaushiq Mukherjee) blazed a trail when it was first shown at festivals. Still too outrageous to be openly screened in India, the film, which includes nudity, bad language and sex, tells of a frustrated teenager named Gandu who is a penniless rapper who steals from his family to fuel his drug habit. On discovering he has won the Lottery, he goes on a crazed drug musical bender with bad company, until he realises that his rapping career is taking off. Don’t bring your granny to this screening. All About Weddings (Biye Fiye Niye): SAT 18 JULY | 4PM Singer-composer Neel Dutt’s directorial debut revisits the enduring wedding genre by following the Bengali nuptials of Sromona and Rohan, as they bring friends, relatives, and exes under one roof.
