`Bhageerathi' is directed by Dr Baraguru Ramchandrappa while `Bharat Mazza Desh Aahe' is directed by Sumitra Bhave and Sunil Sukthankar.
IFFI would be held from November 23 to December 3.

Bhageerathi is based on a Kannada folk ballad, `Kerege Haara' (a sacrifice for a tank).
"Bharat Mazza Desh Aahe" (India is my country), starring veteran Vikram Gokhale and Uttara Bavkar, is a story of a joint family, experiencing declining values.
