The Punjabi produced film, Virsa<\/EM>, was the first of its kind to debut as an official selection at The Dallas International Film Festival<\/STRONG> this past Saturday night, playing at the Landmark Magnolia Theater<\/STRONG> in the West Village to a sold out crowd. A reception preceded the World Premiere at the historic home of Bob Hopkins<\/STRONG> and was sponsored by Barefoot Wines & Bubbly<\/STRONG>. The pre-event was attended by United States Congressman Joe Barton<\/STRONG>, A-List Communications President David Manning<\/STRONG>, G4TV host Joey Greco, <\/STRONG>Executive Producer & father of Red Carpet Roxy-Dr. Amanullah Khan<\/STRONG>, and director Pankaj Batra, <\/STRONG>who flew in from Mumbai<\/STRONG>. Punjabi singing sensation, Jawad Ahmad<\/STRONG>, serves as the film’s musical director.<\/p>\n

The story is about a 3 generation Indian family living in Australia struggling to maintain their heritage while assimilating into western culture. Also woven into the content is a love story between a playboy and a good girl. You leave the theater not only being entertained, but also learning a lesson about family life and the way to treat those who are important to you. And the music is fantastic! So go out and see it!<\/p>\n
