Musical
Same Same But Different is comprised of two intersecting stories that take you behind the scenes of Indian cinema. In the first story, Canadian-born Bollywood starlet Aisha confronts her own prejudices about nationality, skin colour and family — and realises that her dreams of stardom won’t come without sacrifice. The second explores the story of Aisha’s mother, Kabira, and her own life-changing encounter with the world of Bollywood.
Musical
Aisha n’ Ben examines aesthetic and cultural values through the relationship of an Indo-Canadian film actor, obsessed with skin whitening, and a dark-skinned Filipino-Canadian actor, who meet in Bombay while making a Bollywood film.
