Vivek Budakoti's Pied Piper, produced by Rajita Sharma wins the Best Screenplay Award at Cardiff Independent Film Festival. At the same time comes the good news of the film being selected fo the Gothenburg Independent Film Festival screening.
Run by a non-profit community group, Cardiff Independent Film Festival (CiFF) exists to provide a showcase for independent filmmakers to exhibit both features and shorts. Cardiff’s reputation as a major creative hub and attractive location for filmmakers makes it a natural home for our self-sustainable independent film festival. Besides the victory for best screenplay, Pied Piper was also nominated for the Best Film and Rajpal Yadav for the Best Actor at the Cardiff Fest as well.
Pied Piper is a satirical folklore of a simple laundryman,Chunnilal (played by Rajpal Yadav), who is rumoured to have acquired his beloved donkey’s brains in a freak accident. Charming millions with his asinine traits, Chunnilal soon rises to become the most popular hero of his time .Ill at ease by his non-conformist approach, suspicious establishment starts to fear his influence on society.
Pied Piper, incidentally, already has an overcrowded cap. It has earlier won the Best Film category at the Delhi International Film Festival and the Best Film at LUMS (Lahore University Management Studies) International Film Festival 2014.
