Freida Pinto at Miral Photocall at 54th BFI London Film Festival

-
In the film Miral Freida Pinto plays the title role of Miral, who grows up in an orphanage and goes on to teach in a refugee camp.

Freida Says: "It is a film about hope. It is a film about perseverance. It's a film about education being key to devote to peace. And Rula's mentioned this many times, and I think it's really beautiful, she said Gandhi said this, the father of my nation."

"There's no way to peace, peace is the way.'"And I think it's as straight forward as that."

Miral, directed by The Diving Bell and the Butterfly's Julian Schnabel, is based on Rula Jebreal's semi-autobiographical novel, about her life growing up amid the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Jerusalem.


Writer Rula Jebreal (L) and actress Freida Pinto attend the "Miral" photocall during the 54th BFI London Film Festival at the Vue West End on October 18, 2010 in London

Box Office Report of Tees Maar Khan: Tees Maar Khan Takes a Huge Opening at the box office but the reports about the film are negative Tees Maar Khan took a great opening at the box office across the country but the reports are not good. The film is a hit on the strength of its opening but whether it becomes a blockbuster is in doubt as collections in the evening at places could not keep up with its bombastic start in the morning. Saturday is a holiday which could help but Sunday will tell where the film is going. Another plus is two weeks of no competition. The other two releases of the week, Toonpur Ka Superrhero and Isi Life Mein had very dull collections and could not register at the box office due to the Tees Maar Khan wave.
