Cannes, France / Mumbai – Internationally acclaimed filmmaker and producer Tariq Khan has once again spotlighted Indian cinematic excellence on the global stage with the prestigious world premiere of his latest feature film, Bombay Story featuring Mouni Roy, at the Cannes Film Festival.
Inspired by the powerful and unflinching literary works of legendary Urdu writer Saadat Hasan Manto, Bombay Story brings to life raw human emotions, societal complexities, and the vibrant yet gritty spirit of Mumbai. The film was screened to a packed theatre and received an overwhelmingly positive response from the international audience and critics alike.
The ensemble cast of Bombay Story features a stellar lineup including Mouni Roy, Anupria Goenka, Rahat Shah, Kasmi, Shoaib Nikash Shah, and several other talented actors who deliver compelling performances that capture the depth and nuance of Manto’s narratives.
Speaking on the premiere, Tariq Khan expressed his gratitude for the warm reception: “Manto’s stories are timeless because they speak the truth of human existence without filters. Bombay Story is our humble attempt to carry forward that legacy and present it to the world through the language of cinema.”
Known for his distinctive directorial voice and commitment to meaningful storytelling, Tariq Khan has carved a niche in world cinema by bringing authentic regional Indian stories to international audiences. His films often explore themes of identity, culture, social realities, and human resilience.

His production banner, Tariq Khan Productions, continues to champion artistic cinema that prioritizes substance, cultural authenticity, and emotional depth.

With Bombay Story’s successful Cannes premiere, he further strengthens his reputation as a filmmaker dedicated to elevating Indian stories in the international arena.
