gaps good indian
It is very good to bridge the gaps between Indian and international cinema.
film bright-future advantage
I guess short films have a bright future... The advantage is budget.
thinking messages treatment
I do not make movies to send any message, but my treatment makes my viewers think on the subject.
country america space
Indian films have this obsession with hygienic clean spaces, even though the country's not so clean. They're either shot in the studios or shot in London, in America, in Switzerland - clean places. Everywhere except India.
home validation justified
If you get validation from outside, then suddenly everything you do at home is justified.
struggle fall commitment
When people who are seeking change start out, they are driven by commitment to a cause. But as internecine power struggles take over, one-time idealists fall prey to corruption. They become just as corrupt and manipulative as the system that they want to overthrow.
hero heroes-and-villains cinema
Cinema is much more than heroes and villains.
boards film force
The censor boards are mere redundant forces conspiring to keep the 'bold' films out of reach of the audience.
thinking world internet
I think the Internet has changed the world.
falling-in-love people cinema
Conventional Indian cinema is about people falling in love. They sing, they dance.
resentment mainstream
There was a time I had resentment against everything mainstream.
born dreamy
I am not born to make dreamy movies.
oxygen film
Films are like oxygen for me.
numbers four lists
I'm a huge Coppola fan. But more of 'Apocalypse Now' and 'The Conversation.' 'The Godfather' for me is, like, number three or four on the list.
