By Bollyy 16 Feb 2024 in Entertainment New Update Follow Us Share PVR INOX, the largest and the most premium cinema exhibitor in India in association with The High Commission of Jamaica in New Delhi hosted an exclusive premiere of the highly anticipated Paramount Pictures Bob Marley Biopic, “One Love”. The event took place on February 15, 2024 at Delhi’s iconic Priya Cinema at Basant Lok Complex, Vasant Vihar among the presence of film critics/reviewers, media, brand partners, officials from the Jamaican High Commission, Heads of missions from Singapore, Malaysia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Latin American and Caribbean Group (GRULAC), Commonwealth, Government of India and PVR INOX officials. Reinaldo Marcus Green's 'Bob Marley' Biopic: A Musical Journey The film, directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and produced by Rita Marley (Bob’s widow), and children Ziggy and Cedella Marley, staring Kingsley Ben-Adir, is the first biopic of Bob Marley, one of the most influential musicians of all time. Set in the tumultuous, politically charged times of the late 70’s - early 80’s in Jamaica, the story weaves a carefully crafted narrative that offers a unique glimpse into the life of the late Reggae icon, recreating the incandescence of some of Marley’s thrilling performances, reminding us of his message, his invaluable contribution to humanity and the indelible mark left through his music. Commenting on the occasion, Ajay Bijli, Managing Director, PVR INOX Limited, "We are delighted to partner with the High Commission of Jamaica in bringing the Bob Marley Biopic, 'One Love,' to Indian audiences. India and Jamaica are connected by robust ties forged through commonalities in history, democratic values, Commonwealth membership and a shared passion for cricket. At PVR INOX, we have always believed in the power of cinema to transcend borders and cultures. This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to promoting world cinema and offering our patrons a diverse and enriching cinematic experience." Reggae, a genre of popular music originating in Jamaica in the late 1960s, swiftly evolved into the nation's predominant musical expression and by the 1970s, it had transcended national boundaries to become an international phenomenon. Notably, reggae's anti-colonialist message emerged as a unifying force for colonized communities worldwide. In the context of today's political climate, reggae remains profoundly relevant, especially resonating with oppressed communities globally. The iconic Goa Sunsplash, India's premier reggae celebration, serves as a gateway to the world of reggae, providing an unforgettable experience that celebrates themes of unity, love, and music. According to His Excellency, Jason K. M. Hall, High Commissioner of Jamaica to India, "Bob Marley is undoubtedly one of Jamaica’s greatest sons and perhaps the greatest musician of all time, based on the impact of his music inspiring billions around the world, irrespective of race or creed. His message, the embodiment of 'One Love,' fighting against oppression, injustice, and inequality, giving voice to the voiceless, calling for peace, unity, and love, is as relevant today as it was back then, over 40 years ago, perhaps even more so as our planet contends with wars on multiple fronts, the onslaught of climate change. It is a tremendous honour to be able to share this story with India, and I hope that it will inspire us all to be One in Love. 'Let’s get together and feel all right.'’ PVR INOX is known for showcasing a wide array of films from diverse countries, including those from world cinema organizing special screenings and festivals offering audiences a chance to delve into and enjoy cinema beyond the realms of mainstream Hollywood or local releases.
