NICE WORDS ABOUT THE FILM
New York Magazine: "Sharply funny"
Interview Magazine: "Part No Reservations, part Big Brother, part something smarter,
with lots of laughs, something to learn, and - naturally, given the company - an amazing soundtrack"
BlackBook: "Five Out Of Five... Singh [has] the mark of a fanboy filmmaker not yet jaded by the Merchants Of Cool-hood of pop music."
Huffington Post: "Amrit Singh's freewheeling short film" is "a laid-back hipster's approach to Indian cuisine."
Hyphen Magazine: "Frankly, the peek at this brotherhood may be even more appealing than the food."
Times Of India
: "‘Dosa Hunt’ is more than just a search for New York’s best dosa. It’s a short film
about the Indian community’s growth and search for cultural roots in the US."

ABOUT DOSA HUNT
DOSA HUNT is a short film by Amrit Singh featuring a diverse group of music-world friends -- Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij, Das Racist's Himanshu Suri and Ashok "Dapwell" Kondabolu, Yeasayer's Anand Wilder, Neon Indian's Alan Palomo, jazz pianist Vijay Iyer, and Stereogum's Executive Editor, Singh -- on a quest to find their hometown's best dosa. The delicious traditional South Indian crepe has earned this long-overdue cinematic closeup. But our our heroes' journey -- bantering in an Indian disco van, eating their way through the restaurants and grocery stores of Manhattan and Queens -- also explores the shared and respective cultures of this vibrant group of NYC artists in the wilds of their city. DOSA HUNT is a snapshot of a transitional generation in America's immigrant/art experience, in hot pursuit of good food.

ABOUT AMRIT SINGH
