Deepa Mehta praises Blue Tower

Award winning Canadian director, Deepa Mehta (Oscar nominated for “Water”), saw The Blue Tower and has sent wonderful words of congratulations: “Smart writing with dark humour elevates "The Blue Tower" from an accomplished thriller to an extraordinary cinematic experience.” As one of the foremost and most successful Indian directors on the International stage, Deepa has long been a role model for Smita, so her praise is really valued.
