You'll be spoilt for choice at Osianama's Marlon Brando–Dilip Kumar mashup at its film festival and exhibition

Tarana
In deciding to revisit two breathtaking actors on the big screen, Osianama has hit on a cult goldmine with its East-meets-West film festival and exhibition, named The Two Thespians. This one pays homage to Marlon Brando and Dilip Kumar, showcasing some of their stellar acts. The ongoing festival also exhibits original vintage posters and film memorabilia, from the Osian’s archive, associated with these films. The full set of publicity art from Mugha-e-azam, the Dilip Kumar starrer which we never tire of, is on display, along with monochrome photographic stills and montage. Neville Tuli, founder of Osianama, says, “The Marlon Brando Collection as part of the Osian’s Archives is vast and unique with many photographs, posters, artifacts, personal letters. Most have not been publicly displayed before in India. The exhibition will also showcase some of the finest art, photography, and design from films like Andaaz, Sunghursh and Yahudi, revealing that unique Indian cinematic hoarding aesthetic, which cannot but delight and arouse.” To save you time, we selected a flick per day to head for.
