Comedy-drama Green Book to release in India on November 23

Comedy - drama "Green Book" is about to hit the screens in India on November 23. Anil D. Ambani,  Founder of the Reliance Group, is reportedly to release the movie.

The American comedy-drama sees a true story of friendship and relationship between an Italian-American bouncer who later becomes a chauffeur for an African-American classical pianist through the Deep South - unfriendly territory for his upcoming tour.

The film is inspired by the real friendship behind a renowned pianist Donald Shirley and his white driver Tony Lip. Before the Civil Rights Act, there was a race-based discrimination between black and white people. The problems arising in the movie reflected the same we face up with today, which helps us both enlighten and entertain.

Distributed by Universal Pictures, the film received its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September 2018 and gained universal acclaim. Green Book not only drew a big audience but also won over the People's Choice Award.

The comedy-drama sees director  Peter Farrelly helm and stars Academy Award nominee Viggo Mortensen as Tony Lip and  Mahershala Ali as Shirley.

Ali highly praised for that perfect film because it centers on different people and those who are able to discover their similarities and deal with their differences. "These men come from very, very different worlds and they become allies."

The film also has Don Stark and Linda Cardellini in supporting roles.
