Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 9: Matchbox Shots’ next ‘All India Rank’ wowed the world with its world premiere at The International Film Festival Of Rotterdam (IFFR). After producing critically acclaimed and immensely successful ‘Monica Oh My Darling’ (2022) and ‘Three Of Us’ (2022), the well-known production house won the hearts of people across the globe with its world premiere at the prestigious film festival. ‘All India Rank’ has been directed by Varun Grover who is also a national award-winning lyricist, screenplay writer and a popular stand-up comedian.
Talking about his directorial debut as a feature film director with ‘All India Rank’ Varun Grover says, “We all struggle when we are 17. The hormonal desires called love, the constant swinging between ‘ambition’ and ‘mediocrity’, the generational trauma of parents – all create a minor-key horror-comedy around us. With ‘All India Rank’, I want to capture exactly that phase of our lives, the phase of joy and confusion, love and doubt, hope and cynicism.”
He further adds, “The film is a semi-autobiographical slice-of-life dramedy as well as a time capsule of life in the India of the 1990s – a time of American-style capitalism entering India – giving rise to a new consumerist middle-class that valued STEM over liberal arts because of market compulsions. Vivek, the protagonist, like struggles with these new concepts that place personal joy beneath the ‘value you bring to the society.”
