MUMBAI: Phil Cox’ The Bengali Detective will screen at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival 2011.

The feature length-long documentary is all about adultery, fraud and murder investigated by dance-obsessed private eye Rajeshji. The film
is the fusion of conventions of observational realism and a few Bhangra numbers.

“Perhaps what may be one of the most intriguing factors of The Bengali Detective is its set-up of a personal documentary, brimming with one
man’s personal journey with an unfiltered, non-Hollywood-dramatized India as its backdrop”, the official website of the festival states.

Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film & Video Festival began in 1983 to promote Asian and Asian Pacific American cinema.

The festival will take place from 28 April to 7 May.
