The Indian Star

Shooting of Bear Lake on hold

Premier delayed

The highly anticipated premier of Bear Lake, a film directed by Raj Patel, has been delayed from early November to late spring. This delay is a result of bad weather and location selection. As well, many of the animal scenes have been taking longer to shoot than expected. These factors , combined with a sagging economy, caused the delay. Representatives for the film, however, have emphatically stated that film will resume soon

Movie Review: Bear Lake

Mountain Films is proud to announce its anticipated release of Bear Lake this week, after eight months of delay. The Raj Patal film is an adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize- winning novel of the same name. The novel is an epic love story, based in the foothills of northern India, with many twists and turns. The adaptation of a prize-winning novel to the big screen can be very difficult, because for every reader the characters and the scenery will have been imagined differently. As well, it can be difficult to select the proper scenes to shoot and ultimately include in the film. But after watching this film I believe Raj Patal has done it again! I feel this was achieved because of the collaboration between Samir Ranjeet and Patal, who managed to bring the book to life beautifully. It is rumored that the pair will be working together again soon. Patal has shown many times in the past that he is capable of depicting the lives of everyday people and the relationships that they have. Bear Lake is a giant step forward for Patal's career because of the amount of funding and publicity that it has received. He used this money wisely, producing breathtaking cinematography and moving love scenes. This movie's success was also greatly enhanced by the performances given by Deepak Shakur and Latanji  Kapur.The limited release of Bear Lake opens Friday night and will go into wide release at the end of the month.
