A girl in a village with a guitar \u2013 that one image captures the spirit and originality of this charming and audacious Assamese film. Village Rockstars has been directed, produced, written, shot and edited by Rima Das. The film went on to do a stellar run at international film festivals including Toronto and Mumbai. It is India\u2019s official entry to the Oscars. I\u2019m telling you this because the film\u2019s journey is one of those impossible showbiz fairy tales. And this unlikely success comes from Rima\u2019s ability to tell a moving story with clarity and precision.
