France hopes for Bollywood effect with ‘Befikre’


By AGENCY

As France contends with a drop in tourist numbers following a series of deadly attacks, the government is hoping that a new Bollywood romantic comedy can help it lure Indian visitors. From the golden beaches of the Cote D'Azur to the roof of the Paris opera house and the historic bridges of the Seine, the blockbuster movie Befikre – which means “Carefree” in English – is filled with picture postcard scenes of France.

The makers of the blockbuster movie, which hit Indian screens on Dec 9, say it is the first Bolly­wood production to be shot entirely on the French mainland.
