American film director and screenwriter  Lee Isaac Chung's semi-autobiographical drama ''Minari'' is set to be released in Indian theatres on April 16.

''Minari'' has also booked six British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards nominations, including a spot in the Best Film Not in the English Language category.

Titled by ''The Walking Dead'' alum Steven Yeun, ''Minari'' is about a family of Korean immigrants trying to realise their American dream in the 1980s. It also stars Han Ye-ri, Alan Kim, Noel Kate Cho, Youn Yuh-jung and Will Patton.

Courtesy word of mouth, stellar performance by the ensemble cast and Chung's tender storytelling, ''Minari'' has become a favourite this awards season, bagging the best foreign film Golden Globe and Young Performer Critics Choice Award for child actor Kim.

The movie, predominantly in Korean language, will be released by PVR pictures in the country. As an independent film, ''Minari'' had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2020, winning both the US Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the US Dramatic Audience Award.

The movie also recently scored six Academy Award nominations for best picture, director, original screenplay, best actor (Yeun), best-supporting actress (Youn) and original score for Emile Mosseri.
