Free Screening of ‘Riding Solo to the Top of the World’ & ‘One Crazy Ride’ | The Attic {Connaught Place} & India Habitat Center {Lodhi Road}
Riding Solo… is a film about filmmaker Gaurav Jani’s solo motorcycle journey from Mumbai to one of the remotest places in the world, the Changthang Plateau in Ladakh, bordering China. As a one-man film unit, he astonishes you, filming the landscape he passes by and the people he interacts with, capturing moments of beauty, pain, love, hardship, self doubt and spiritual triumphs
Riding solo… has won several awards including the National Film Award.
One Crazy Ride: A motorcycle expedition on uncharted roads across the Himalayan state of Arunachal Pradesh, situated in North-east India. But more than an expedition, it’s a film on friendship, camaraderie and the “never say die” attitude of five motorcyclists in the face of unforgiving terrain. Shot with no back-up vehicle or film crew, in parts of India hardly seen, filmed or explored, the documentary captures the interactions and experiences of the riders who are trying to chart a route, which according to everyone does not exist.
One Crazy Ride has won several awards including Best Film at International Motorcycle Film Festival.

COMEDY | Radhika Vaz in ‘Unladylike- The Pitfalls of Propriety’
Radhika Vaz is a comedy performer and writer who lives and works in New York. She gave up a career in advertising to follow her true calling: making people laugh and think. ‘Unladylike- The Pitfalls of Propriety’ is her one-woman show, which hilariously explores some taboo and some everyday subjects close to women’s hearts {and bodies}. The prissy, proper character of ‘Ms Vaz’ refrains from using any vulgar language, but manages to get to the bottom of what women really, really want, using real life as her material.
Where | Epicenter, Gurgaon
When | July 29th, 730pm.
