A rant, but amusing. K.R. Ravi doesn’t think much of Bollywood:

Talking of Oscars I am always amused by the way we hold our collective breaths for the results to be announced as if , given the kind of films we send to the Oscars we stood any chance at all .In the end of course some film form Tunisia or Chad walks away with the awards.

About ten years ago I asked a bollywood director why we had not come up with a decent suspense film. I had in mind Hitchcock .

‘Who says we do not make suspense films. Almost all films are suspense films. Whenever the hero and heroine meet we know they are going to burst into a song, there is no suspense about that, but the suspense lies in guessing which tree they would run around!”
