Very proud to announce that my feature PATANG (Berlin, Tribeca, Chicago, Mill Valley, Hawaii, Vancouver) will be coming out on June 15th in the US and Canada in theaters across North America! Roger Ebert writes "The storytelling is effortless, hypnotically beautiful visuals, a kaliedoscope of colors, music, faces and a little romance. Bhargava is masterful..."

A wonderful short film that most people can relate to. We are all longing for something in life and often longing for the things that other people have and may take for granted. I like the way the film interpolates images of India and also the scene in Time Square. Good cinematography.
Beautiful film. More complex, moving and meaningful that most films many times its length. May all your films be this good.
I wasn't going to watch this film, but I'm so glad I did. It's beautifully shot: a wide range of mid-shots combined with close up and point of view shots makes me gain a perspective from Raj's point of view. I especially loved the unexpected comedy and the sinister turn it takes, simply brilliant.
Loved this simple short film, which shows two diffrent perceptions of life in India from 2 migrants points of view.
Good film on both cultural misunderstanding and culture as almost an element of the soul, and on the loneliness of migration and the loneliness of the city. The city scenes and flashes of life are both contrastive and universal.
Prashant Bhargava's latest feature PATANG will have its north american premiere in the World Narrative Competition at Tribeca. Follow the project on MUBI GARAGE: http://mubi.com/garage/projects/16
I love the way the memory flashbacks look. Some really nice cinematography throughout. Unfortunately I think the acting rarely rises above the page and weighs the piece down too much. A great concept for a short but it could easily be much shorter.
Prashant Bhargava's new film Patang will be premiering at the 61st Berlinale in the Forum Section. Visit www.facebook.com/patangfilm or www.patang.tv
As a photographer myself, I especially love the powerful images and and the vivd colours.
Wonderful little short, the contrasting worlds brought together by grainy film made exquisite dreamy cinematography. The story tells of the sad truths of isolation in over populated metropolis areas, something which is a reality for both the landed and natives of the country. Worth a watch!
A stylish exploration of American alienation and accomplished cinematography keeps this meandering drama together.
