Director
Kamal Musale
Reward
Best Indie Film at the 2017 European Cinematography Awards (IMDB)
Best Screenplay at the Indian Cine Film Festival in 2017
A soul is visiting unconscious bodies in the city and looking back in time to understand what happened to them. A compassionate, poetic, and realistic look at what caused these ordinary lives in Mumbai to be disrupted by a typical problem of India’s contemporary society.
” In the Bumbai Bird’s title, there is Bumbai for the unity of place and Bird like Charlie Parker: Kamal Musale has indeed composed his aerial film as a jazzman. From his improvisation was born, and that’s the height of his performance, a formidably mastered work, which seems to have been previously entirely written and drawn as if Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu’s Amores Perros had been reincarnated in India. “

Curry Western Movies

Films & Documentary

Curry Western Movies produces Indian content for a western taste.

Curry Western is based in Mumbai, India. It has been founded by Kamal Musale, a Swiss and Indian filmmaker, who runs the company with Nupoor Kajbaje (Line Producer) and Mukesh Singh (Director).

Our last production, set in India in 1950, follows the beginnings of Mother Teresa and her loss of faith; it parallels with the contemporary tale of Kavita, a young British woman who discovers compassion in London and Kolkata.
