FROM THE ARCHIVES...... National Award Operation Pink Pigeon or Ankur Maina aur Kabootar was a co production between CFSI and Mauritius Film Devlopment Corporation. The entire film was shot in Mauritius in 1989. The seeds of co production were sown by Mukesh Sharma way back in 1984, when he visited Mauritius to organize the Ocean Film Festival, carrying CFSI films. Coincidently this was his first trip abroad.
The film was directed by Madan Bawaria, who made Jaya Bachchan a star, in his first diploma film entitled Suman, at FTII. When Jaya bachchan became the Chairperson of CFSI, Madan Bawaria, got a chance to direct a feature film, which was shot by the ace cinematographer A.K. Bir.
Needles to mention, the film went on to win the National Award for the Best Children film in 1990. Mr Bijoy Madhou MD MFDC and Mukesh Sharma Producer in Charge of the film from CFSI, received the coveted National award from the President of India.
I remember watching this film as a child. Is there anyway I can see this movie online?
