MF Husain 

Husain, our friend
Maqbool Fida Husain's contributions to the art world specifically and the country, in general, are manifold. As one of the first Indian painters to have attracted global fame and international acclaim, the exiled iconic artist has many admirers. Friend, art collector and film producer Barkhaa Roy then took it upon herself to pay tribute to the late artist and stitched together a fan-style docu-feature written and directed by Bhavana Sresth. Some say that the film that won the Dadasaheb Phalke Award by Mumbai's Dadasaheb Academy, and explores the painter's journey through the lens of his friends and patrons, is the closest one can come to getting to know him. The film will screen this evening, and is a must watch if you have spent hours wondering about the life and times of the virtuoso.
