That is your right. I was just trying to point out that 1) the amount of money spent on an "epic" or any other film does NOT correspond to how good it is, and 2) one could feed a million people for a year for what you propose spending on such an "epic," which after all would be seen only by people from India and a handful of Indiaphiles throughout the world. Your call. Besides, they might take that money and do as bad a job with it as Peter Brook did with *his* TV film of the Mahabharata. It's *exruciating*. Forcing audiences to sit through it could legitimately be seen by Amnesty International as a form of torture. :-)
