1> Bombay Talkies - Cannes celebrates 100 years of Indian cinema this year with a special programme of films. The centrepiece is Bombay Talkies.
Mid-Night screening.
It is an anthology made up of four short films by highly regarded directors ( Anurag Kashyap, Karan Johar, Dibakar Banerjee and Zoya Akhtar)
While Anurag Kashyap is the STAR of the season with contribution to 3 other films in this category, the others are also equally jubilant.
Perhaps, the only movie allowed a screening in the prestigious festival despite being already released in India.

** Last Year also Anurag Kashyap was selected for the 'Directors Fortnight'section for the critically acclaimed movie Gangs of Wasseypur.
3> Dabba (The LunchBox) - Starring internationally acclaimed actor Irrfan Khan and national award (Special Jury) winner Nawazzudin Siddiqui, this movie is a fantasy adventure about how a wrongly delivered dabba(tiffin) connects a housewife to a lonely man. The movie is expected to be high on emotional content with tinge of comedy and stuffed with power-packed performances.

6>Kamasutra 3D - Though critics are admonishing the screening of this film among other, there are people who believe that Kamasutra is entirely an Indian connection and hence a giant screening in the festival will bring more of the desi influence. Well, we don't know about that but the lead actor, the sexy-seductive playmate -Sherlyn Chopra believes that her appearance in the movie will leave everyone with elevated breaths.
7> Zindagi Bahut Khoobsurat Hai : This is a short film dealing with life's positivity, which will also be screened at the coveted film fest. This 15-minute movie tells the tale of a man who starts looking at the brighter side of life after an incident in Mumbai.(source www.in.com)
