A film festival in honor of the 100th anniversary of the famous Soviet and Russian director Leonid Gaidai started in the Indian capital. At the University of Delhi, the Department of Slavic Languages organized a screening of the famous 1968 comedy “The Diamond Arm” in Russian with English subtitles.
Before the start of the session, Delhi University professor Girish Munjal spoke about Gaidai’s life and creative path, as well as how the director wittily circumvented the bureaucratic prohibitions that existed in the film industry at that time.
Russian house director Oleg Osipov urged viewers to study the Russian language more deeply in order to understand all its subtleties and, in particular, the humor of Gaidai’s films without translation. After the viewing there was a discussion of the movie.
“The Caucasian Prisoner” will be shown at the Russian House on October 11 at 3:00 p.m. as part of the festival.

The Soviet comedy "Captive of the Caucasus", shown at the Russian House in New Delhi as part of the film festival on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding director Leonid Gaidai, made a deep impression on Indian viewers, who gave a long standing ovation after watching it.
According to Delhi University teacher Girish Munjal, one of the initiators of the film festival, the students who came to the screening loved “Captive of the Caucasus.” “I myself have already seen this film more than ten times, and every time I don’t get bored watching it again. Students want to see other films by the great director. Perhaps we will continue this useful practice,” he noted.
One of the spectators, Sartak Dogra, admitted that he received great pleasure from Gaidai’s comedy. “No course will give you the opportunity to get acquainted with Russian culture and Russian traditions like a film like this,” he said. Alaa Abdulkadim Kanoud was impressed by the film's "witty dialogues and situations and colorful characters."
