Think he has a point and is honest and courageous enough to say it.
Sure we can appoint judges who understand and appreciate good cinema.
But where are we going to find the masses that appreciate good cinema like they do with hollywood movies.
The success of a movie like 'Taare Zamein Par' is a good start.

"Sudhir Mishra lashes out at our racist film selection system" pardon me for my utter ignorance, but don't most Indians belong to the same race? So what kind of "racism" has crept into the film selection system? I can understand regionalism tainting judgement, but racism...that is a first 😕

there is a school of thought that says that 'aryan" and "dravidian" are 2 different races!😛

Lekin TallyHoji Sociologically there are three races Caucasian, Negroid and Mongoloid and we all are either neat, or cocktails. Ubb yeh "aryan" aur "dravidian" kah funda kahaseh beech mein taang aadaneh aya😉

Kehene kih baat yeh hain keh yeh Sudhir Mishraji niklay thay ungliya uthaneh, lekin hamari kitab mein woh bilkul aundhey mooh girey hain. Unkeh diya huay interview mein unney jaroor badi badi baatey ki hain, lekin "race" jaisa lafz istehmaal kurr keh woh bahut kumm paani mein khud doob gayey hain aur aapnee kahi hui itnee laambee guftagu kah maaza poori tarah seh kirkira kurr diya hain. Hamara maqsaad baal kih khal utarneh kah nahi tha, lekin kya karey waqalut kartay kurtay aadat seh majboor hoh gaye hain😉😃

all the technical awards winners won't get a chance to do their thank you speech.. they'll be given awards and then hushed away from the stage..

Brad Pitt and Matt Damon will be the hosts and they will keep making recycled gay jokes over and over again even if no one finds it funny..



🤣 Awesome dig!!👏😆😆
