हौस म्हणून निर्मात्याने मराठी चित्रपटाचा प्रिमिअर किंवा एखादा शो अमेरिकेत करणे आता नित्याचेच झाले आहे. परंतु अमेरिकेतील एखाद्या वितरकाने मराठी चित्रपटाचे रितसर हक्क विकत घेऊन तो चित्रपटगृहात प्रदर्शित केला असे होत नाही. याला छेद देत, 'एक हजाराची नोट' हा महाराष्ट्र राज्य पुरस्कार विजेता चित्रपट शुक्रवारी अमेरिकेत 'सिल्क रोड सिनेमा' या वितरकामार्फत प्रदर्शित होत आहे.

Film Review: 1000 Rupee Note | Film Journal International
Anchored by a marvelous performance from Usha Naik as Budhi, an impoverished, elderly widow, 1000 Rupee Note starts by peering into her small, rural village of Phoolumbari in the state of Maharashtra. Getting a sandal repaired, buying a cup of milk, haggling with a vendor for a loaf of bread, Budhi is unfailingly polite and upbeat.
