Soph event highlights Hindi indies

The London Indian Film Festival is back for a second year, opening June 30 with Aamir Khan's "Delhi Belly."

Released by UTV, the English-language pic starring Imran Khan is produced by Khan and helmed by Abhinay Deo.

Singer-composer Raghu Dixit will perform before closing night pic "Autograph" on July 12.

Fest will showcase indie Hindi films outside the Bollywood mainstream by such helmers as Anurag Kashyap ("That Girl in Yellow Boots") and Rituparno Ghosh ("Memories of March"). Other highlights of the fest include Ketan Mehta's "Colors of Passion," about painter Ravi Varma, "White Elephant," "Just Another Love Story" and "The Way Home."

Pics will unspool in venues all over London including the West End's Cineworld Haymarket and BFI Southbank. Tickets go on sale from June 15. Go to londonindiafilmfestival.co.uk for more information.
