Why wouldn't you go live in a place like NY for a few years if you can afford to?

Forget the school itself. Just being outside the country and getting to live in a cosmopolitan city where you can go watch Broadway and off-Broadway plays, visit world-class museums like the MET, Guggenheim, Whitney and a dozen others is an education in itself. You get to meet people of various races and ethnicities and experience a life outside of the film industry. Actors need life experience.

So all these star kids seem to go to NY to study acting-whatever that means. I think the latest is Kushi kapoor -daughter of Sridevi and Boney kapoor.


Almsot all of them-is it worth it or just a fad? I mean the oldies Jaya bhaduri, Sridevi, madhuri, Meena Kumari, rekha, Dilip Kumar, prithviraj Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Manisha Koirala all were nice actors-where did that skill come from. What does this acting skill provide??


Do you think any stupid acting school can provide this skill-j Rekha in this-the feelings this evokes-even aish couldn't copy this well.



Jaya Bhaduri is an alumni of Pune FTII

Prithviraj Kapoor had theater background, he was a pioneer


Meena Kumari’s parents were theatre artists

Rekhas parents were actors in the South but she had to struggle a lot in the beginning


You’re right... The people you mentioned had innate talent and they struggled and worked hard to improve it... They persevered


And as someone here mentioned, I’ve often wondered how HW acting methods would work for BW melodrama and song&dance routine

Do current BW directors do a course in NY too


Bcz when I started watching Hindi TV shows and movies after some gap, I felt the way the actors perform (male actors in particular) has changed a lot in dialogue delivery and facial expressions, body language etc... it was similar to the style of American actors

Yes, if you're in England. Join theatre rather than filmschool.

But it's a fact that countries like USA and England are miles ahead of countries like India.
