I’m trying to remember the name of a movie I saw between 7 and 15 years ago. It’s set in India, about a man who wins the lottery. That’s all I really remember, except for one scene, where he’s in a courtyard I believe, and he’s watching a musical performance. I think it’s harmonium and vocals, I don’t remember any other instruments. It’s quite a long song, a traditional Indian song. It’s sung by a man, and it’s absolutely beautiful. (In fact finding the name of this song is why I want to find the name of the movie!)
When I’ve tried to Google, the only results I get are for Slumdog Millionaire (definitely not that one!) and The Lottery (not this one either). The movie I’m looking for isn’t a Bollywood film, it has a more indie drama vibe.
I don’t know if it’s this one but there’s a movie called “Malamaal Weekly” is a 2006. It’s a bollywood movie but there are other South Indian versions, the Telugu one “Bhagyalakshmi Bumper Draw”, Kannada one “Dakota Picture” and the Malayalam one “Aamayum Muyalum”. Hope it’s that… Also these are comedy movies.
It seems there are several others too, but could it have been from the 80s?
