Because this site is advertising 8 films in a festival, there's not a lot of detail for each film, just a synopsis, cast & crew list, and the trailer. There are also a few bits of information on the festival as a whole, as well as some links, but nothing that really jumps out.
All the usual information, including a very unusual and compelling trailer. But there very little of that visual style on the site itself.
Just the basics without enough flash to be of great interest.
Sites aimed at younger audiences should have more interactive features, more sound, more animation. This site has hardly any of those with a soundboard being the most unusual feature. Very disappointing.
Sadly, there is no official site.
Just the basics with the most notable feature being the number of backgrounds songs you can choose from.
Good site for the type of film. It has all of the usual features as well as four clips and a behind-the-scenes clip. Add in audio clips and it does enough to stand out.
This site has the usual features as well as several clips and a section to say what you would fight for.
First of all, the site has all of the usual features, (synopsis, cast & crew bios, image gallery, and trailer). In addition, each section starts out with a clip from the movie and an audio clip. I wish there were some extras, even some clips would be great, enough to lift it from above the crows to an award contender.
All the usual features, (minus the bios), as well as a heavy emphasis on the music, which is common for a Bollywood film. There are also several video clips including some behind-the-scenes / making of clips. Overall it sells the film well, but doesn't stand out enough to be in consideration for the Weekly Website Award.
Not a lot on the site, just the basics.
An effective site with all the usual features, and a heavy emphasis on the music, which is natural for a Bollywood film. There is also information on the look of the film and a few clips. Like I said, it's effective, but not award-worthy.
Like many documentary sites, this one has lots of information, but little in the way of style.
No official site.
