Madhu Gawade: The Ideal bride WIDE ANGLE: THE IDEAL BRIDE
Diksha: There are so many movies that I love and can watch multiple times. Emir Kusturica, Asghar Farhadi, Coen brothers, Catherine Breillat, Sriram Raghavan and Raju Hirani are my favourite filmmakers. Lately, regional movies in India like Fandry, Shala, The Court, Thithi, Gabhricha Paus have been very good. During the making and editing of The Ideal Bride, Sriram Raghavan gave me valuable feedback which helped me in crafting the story.
Madhu Apsara the sound designer. Alokananda Dasgupta, who has already worked on diverse national award winning films like Shala and Fandry composed the background score. Madhu Gawade impressed everyone as her screen character Phuleri.
About the Director
Diksha Jyoti was born and raised in Darbhanga, a small town in Bihar, India. She moved to Delhi for her graduation, followed by a PG Diploma in Journalism from the Indian Institute of Mass Communication. Diksha has worked as a copywriter for TV Commercials.

Like many aspiring filmmakers, Diksha too has many projects in the pipeline. She has just wrapped up, directing another short film and is editing it. Along with short films, Diksha would love to get into mainstream cinema, depending on the script she gets!
Madhu Gawade: The Ideal bride
continnect: Who is the actor who plays the role The Ideal Bride in the movie? Diksha: Madhu Gawade is a dear friend who always wanted to act. As soon as I had conceived the script of The ideal Bride, I met her and we decided to take it forward. Madhu has never lived in small towns so it was a bit difficult for her to understand the nuances of life of women living there. We held many workshops and once ready, went ahead with the shoot. We both exchanged many feedbacks and she took it as a challenge and gave her best.
