The second last day of the 18th Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival is here.
Films from Japan, lots of interesting Indian films and a talk with Cary Fukunaga — there’s a lot going on today.
Here are our pick of things you should not miss out on:

The director of Lootera gives us his new film set in a bustling city. While not a lot is known about the film, we know that the plot of the film involves a man getting stuck in a empty high rise for 25 days without food, water and electricity.

This screening includes a question and answer section with the filmmaker at the end.
