One of my local multiplxes actually screens Indian films regularily. And for entire weeks with 3 or 4 screenings a day.
If you want the hot news on which films to see, I would suggest getting friendly with the owners of your local Indian corner store... they probably sell or rent them.
I am trying to remember the name of a fantastic one I saw a few months ago about a LOndon filmmaker producing a film in India a nd using student actors who develop a political consciousness, while a parallel story of the overthrow of the British rule is intercut.
Yes... its Rang De Basanti and it won the best film award at the Sydney Indian Film Fest.
Here's the website for it...http://www.rangdebasanti.net/
