Move over, Ash and Sonam. This motley crew of Masaan is making their presence felt the real way at the ongoing Cannes International Film Festival.
Neeraj Ghaywan's directorial debut Masaan, that is completing in the Un Certain Regard section of the ongoing Cannes Film Festival, got a five-minute standing ovation after its screening.
An Indo-French production, the film is set in Varanasi and tells the story of a young orphan, a low-caste teenage boy who falls in love with an upper-caste girl, and a woman caught in a sex scandal.
Take a look at the Masaan team at Cannes:
Richa Chadha, who plays one of the central characters in the film, wowed in a floral Giles dress and minimal makeup at the film's photocall.
She paired the beautiful dress with nude pumps and an updo.
Chadha is seen here with Neeraj Ghaywan, and costars Shweta Tripathi and Vikas Kaushal.
Co-producers Melita Toscan du Plantier (far left), Vikramaditya Motwane (in white jacket) and Guneet Monga (in black) join the Masaan team at the photocall.
Elated with the response the film has garnered at the French fest, the actress is seen here with a poster of the film.
Chadha changed into a gorgeous Sabya sari for the Masaan screening later in the evening.
Probably the token desi look at Cannes this year, it featured a sparkly blouse, tear drop earrings and a box clutch.
Two thumbs up to the actress for staying away from the Elie Saabs and de la Rentas!
Film critic and filmmaker Sudhish Kamath shared this picture of the Masaan team responding to the overwhelming feedback their film got at the fest.
'Really proud moment for India #Masaan #Cannes2015 Applause went on for five mins! @ghaywan & @richachaddha teared up,' he captioned the picture.
