Lamakaan, Hyderabad's vibrant cultural hub, has a rich history of screening classic films, including Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon. This iconic 1950 Japanese film explores the nature of truth through differing accounts of a crime. The plot and characters are based upon Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's short story In a Grove, with the title and framing story taken from Akutagawa's Rashōmon. Every element is largely identical, from the murdered samurai speaking through a Shinto psychic to the bandit in the forest, the monk, the assault of the wife, and the dishonest retelling of the events in which everyone shows their ideal self by lying. The venue frequently showcases such masterpieces. For instance, on November 10, 2024, Hyderabad Cinephiles organized a screening of Sergei Eisenstein's Strike, reflecting Lamakaan's commitment to presenting seminal cinematic works.
