A Bollywood inspired short film made by students in Adelaide for just three thousand dollars will screen in more than 160 countries this weekend. Mumbai based Zee TV has picked up the rights to the film "Priya", which will screen to a potential audience around the world of more than 100 million people. The short film about an Australian who falls in love with an Indian student has captured the imagination of India. It's being televised as tension still runs high between the two countries over reports of racist attacks on Indian students.
