London Me Bharat

London Me Bharat 1972 Directed by Vinod Pande

Shot in black and white, London Me Bharat—one of the first Hindi-language films made in Britain—presents a distinctive view of 70s London. After an opening in which an Indian classical score renders familiar landmarks unfamiliar, the film abandons tourist London to explore Southall, home to one of Britain's largest Indian communities. It's an insightful take on an increasingly multicultural city—at a time when, the commentary tells us, the capital's Indian population numbered some 150,000, with another 300,000 elsewhere in the UK.
