Today was Oscars & Hollywood was honoring its best(?) people for the last year. I also happened to read a article in Week by maverick director Mahesh Bhatt. He was talking how we Indians have been trying to wag our tail in front of Hollywood & saying that we are now being recognized by them. He quotes some critic in Hollywood who wanted to make a film on Satyajit Ray, arguably India's only respected director in the west. The critic it seems did not know for whom to make the movie, for there was so little interest in Indian cinema.
I think we should stop fooling ourselves & decide what we want to do. There is no point comparing ourselves with Oscars or Hollywood, Indian cinema should try to come up with original cinema, deliver good quality films to the audience, recognition will follow automatically....
