Life of Pi

Ang Lee is known for films such as 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon', 'Brokeback Mountain', 'Hulk' and 'Lust Caution'. He is among the acclaimed directors of Hollywood and his interest in telling the common man's story is quite evident in his earlier films, thus one can expect a socially relevant story from him.

If the film is going to follow the book in true sense then 'Life of Pi' will also pose questions about different faiths and religions.

Rohit 'Vats' of IBNLive is inside the theatre to live tweet the experience of 'Life of Pi'.
