Dear Gaurav, There should be simultaneous effort to reach out to film makers. They should be convinced to keep persons with vision impairment in mind during their entire production. Mr. Sanamjeet Talwar's Gulfam was a great initiative. It was touted as the first completely audio movie with no additional layer of audio description. If we consider mainstream cinema also, some movies like Dangal, Hichki, 102 Not Out, etc. had a person narrating in the background. It acted as a necessary filler to cover up visual cues on the screen. Such filmmaking techniques can also make cinematic experience more inclusive for the persons with vision impairment.
