The New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF) will open with Anurag Kashyap's 'Ugly'.
The film is a sensational tale of corruption, indifference and systemic violence that begins with the disappearance of an aspiring actor's 10-year-old daughter.
Anurag will participate in a post-screening conversation, to be followed by the opening night gala event.
The festival will run from May 5 to 10 at a variety of prestigious New York City venues.
