Why do we Indians crave for Oscar as if that is the ultimate accolade!
Look at this:
- ARR is ower own?
- The movie is our own?
- Actors/Directors and others who create these movies are our own?
- Then why should the award be someone else's?
- Since when foreigners have become better judge of our artistic
creations. Most foreigner don't understand a thing about our way of
things - this includes most film personalities in the west. Therefore,
why should we expect them to pat our back? Have you ever heard of
Hollywood trying to get a Filmfare award?
Let's get out of this panchant seeking accolade from others.
