Looks like an innovative offer. S2 had also come out with the hugely popular Super-Sixer earlier. Guess, operating from the innards of Uttar Pradesh makes them real marketing savvy!

The Name of the Disease
Synopsis The Name of the Disease is a documentary about the no-holds barred world of healthcare in rural North India, a world where anyone can be a doctor, a world where everyone has a theory and a solution, frequently involving ghosts, hypodermic needles and large sums of money. Narrated entirely through the voices of insiders, but building on years of research in the area, the film combines humor and tragedy to build an image of a people struggling to come to terms with the hold of their tradition and the seductive promises of modernity. Running Time: 47 minutes; Color: Documentary.

Silver blue Productions presents Kamala- A play by Vijay Tendulkar on 15th August at CFD.
Vijay Tendulkars Kamala is one of those few theater masterpieces that appeal to just about anyone, because it touches on virtually all our lives. Kamala is an indictment of male society in which women are mere stepping-stones in a man's quest for power and fame. For those unfamiliar with the background of the play, it was based on journalist Ashwini Sarin's path-breaking investigative series in 1981 on the flesh trade in Madhya Pradesh. Sarin bought the woman, Kamala, for Rs. 2,300. The journalist then wrote a series of articles exposing the prostitution trade and involvement of bigwigs in politics and police in early 1981. Presented by Renegade Amateur Theater Society.-- http://www.silverblue.co.in
