MUMBAI: Madholal Keep Walking (A song of a common man), a Hindi feature film, written and directed by Jai Tank, has been nominated for the 8th Third Eye Asian Film Festival (AFF) to be held in Mumbai from 4 December.

Over 100 feature and short films from 24 countries like Turkey and Japan to name a few are participating in this week- long fest.

Madholal is not like the other films which are only based on the train blast. The focus is on the resilience of the human spirit and the manner in which Madholal comes to terms with his fate. 

The film features Subrat Dutta as Madholal Dubey, a Kolkata-based theatre actor who won the Best Actor award in the 8th Osian Cinefan Festival 2006 for the Bengali film Bibar (Calcutta unabashed).

His last Bengali movie Chaturanga (four chapters) was shown in more than 50 film festivals.

The aim of the Asian Film Festival is to bridge the gap between the Asian Film fraternities and promote Asian cinema
