An Arundhati Roy cult classic's hitting India's big screens 37 years later

For nearly 40 years, a comedy about college students, their fancies, their dreams – a perpetually ticking and dipping genre – survived merely through YouTube and Reddit uploads, Instagram clips and stills, bundles of poetic waxed. 

Arundhati Roy’s writing and acting before The God of Small Things. A flash of Shah Rukh Khan before his official debut. The directing of Pradip Krishen, known also for Electric Moon and Massey Sahib.

In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones, Krishen has revealed, is premiering in several Indian cities this March, for the first time since it aired on Doordarshan in 1989. I’m not wasting your time with a synopsis. Find the whimsy. Booking begins on March 8 on BookMyShow for dates of March 13-15, depending where you are. Here are the dates Krishen has confirmed via his Instagram so far:
