Road to film discovery
A still from Shyam Benegal's Sooraj ka Satvan Ghoda (1992)
Rahul Adidravidar, 22, describes himself as just another cinephile, but there is more to him than meets the eye. Adidravidar is a sales associate by profession and an ardent lover of movies. He runs an Instagram page called Ek Aur Cinephile, where he regularly posts meaningful excerpts from different movies, prompting his followers to watch and engage with the films. We love his passion for cinema, which comes across in every post on the page. “There are films which are true to life and its essence. They are too wonderful to keep them to myself. I wanted to share them with the rest of the world so I started this page in September 2018,” he explained. Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love was the first film he posted about. “When someone tells me how they discovered a certain film because of my page and absolutely enjoyed watching it with their family, my heart is full and I am touched.”
