Discover new cinematic worlds and connect with fellow film enthusiasts at IIHS Screens. This monthly series at IIHS Bengaluru City Campus in Sadashivanagar explores diverse films and sparks lively conversations about cinema.
For the December edition, we present the acclaimed wildlife documetary, The World's Most Famous Tiger. We will also host a special post-screening discussion with the film's director, Subbiah Nallamuthu and Nirupama Santosh, Lead – IIHS Media Lab.
Shot over 9 years, this film chronicles the legendary journey of Machli, the Tiger Queen of Ranthambhore. It traces her rise to power during her prime, her heartbreaking decline over her record 20-year life, and her enduring legacy in regenerating tiger populations in Ranthambhore and Sariska National Park. A powerful reminder of how protecting one tiger can transform a forest—this is a must-watch tribute to nature’s resilience.
Subbiah Nallamuthu is an acclaimed director, producer, and cinematographer with over 16 years of experience documenting India’s Royal Bengal Tigers. Recipient of the Dr. V. Shantaram Lifetime Achievement Award, his work spans over 55 television programs, 23 documentary features, and five tiger-focused films, earning him over 25 international awards and nominations. Nallamuthu continues to blend storytelling with conservation, and his recent campaign film, Tiger Anthem, received praise from the Prime Minister, and was showcased at the G20 Summit.
