I remember we were taught sanskrit in our school as a third language from class 5 to class 7 i think. And i was actually disappointed when it was later discontinued in higher classes. I would have loved to learn any of the south or other languages too...

Anyway my love for Hindi remained intact and I even got the highest marks in Hindi in my school, in class X board exams 😎 (sorry for bragging) 😆

Same here. Though for me my Hindi love was greater than Sanskrit.

Growing up I loved languages. Gujarati and Hindi being my 2 most favorite. But equally good in English. I scored highest in all these languages plus history.

I don’t know how and why I ended up in Science. Typical choice of my generation. 😆

Poor thing seemed traumatized hearing so much of Hindi 😭

Most of people working in Bollywood film sets speak a mix of Hindi, English and Marathi to converse with the wide number of crew members coming from different backgrounds on a film set. If the director doesn't know Hindi, there will always be an AD who knows it and briefs the actor. An actor's final performance on screen depends on the director of the film so no director would willingly want to isolate his actor and speak in a language the actor doesn't know of since that'll affect the director's credibility at the end of the day. Maybe Nawaz is telling of just a one off experience but even if you look at his filmography, most of his directors like Kashyap, etc are very well versed in Hindi.

Film scripts are written in Roman because the most popular software that's traditionally used for scriptwriting haven't supported Hindi or any other language apart from Hindi for a long period of time. I think only recently has the software started supporting Indian languages. This is not just Hindi film industry but every other Indian industry. And if an actor is uncomfortable reading the language then arrangements are made to convert the script into Hindi. Takes time but it is done for the comfort of the actor. Just like if Nawaz was doing a Tamil film, he obviously would ask for a Hindi script than a traditional Tamil script. Plus screenplays and scripts are registered at associations so it needs to be in a language everyone understands.So not sure why he wants to change that since Bollywood or for that matter any industry has people from all over the country who wouldn't understand Hindi and prefer the script in English.

Also him comparing Tamil or regional film industries with Bollywood doesn't make sense. Like many people have stated before, Mumbai is different from other cities. If he says in Tamil film industry people only converse in local language then by that logic people in Mumbai film industry should converse in Marathi. Or for that matter Hindi films should cease to exist since Mumbai is in Maharashtra. The whole point of Mumbai having a 'Hindi' film industry is because of the producers back then who came to Mumbai from North India and made Mumbai their home. And then started working in Hindi which the city and the industry readily accepted because since time immemorial, both Mumbai and Bollywood has been inclusive in welcoming people from different states and backgrounds to settle and work here. And till date people converse in film sets in a mix of Hindi, English and Marathi because of the inclusivity so that no one is left behind. The whole goal at the end of the day is to get the job done. No one cares in which language you do it.

So for all that Nawaz is complaining of how people in the city are not speaking in Hindi while making a Hindi film, ideally he should just open a production house in Noida Film City and employ those who speak in Hindi for his comfort. Because the state that he is staying and working in is Maharastra and their regional language is Marathi, not Hindi.

Nope, just speaking like Nawaz who wants local film industries to converse in 'local languages' 😄 Isn't it a good idea though? I thought that's why the Noida Film City is being built?

Also you gotta come with your real ID and quote me instead of making MIDs every day for such topics. Isn't it frustrating?

Everything else is fine..but these two bolds

Hard to visualize a scenario where a director who doesn't know Hindi is directing a hindi film. Wonder how many such directors r there.

For second bold.. The person who made first hindi talkie Alam Ara was a parsi born n brought up in Maharashtra. Ardeshar Irani..he was both the producer n director.

Hindi wasn't his mother tongue.. nor the native language of his state. BTW.. then there was no Maharashtra. State came into existence in 1960 by splitting the bilingual Bombay state which included present day Maharashtra, Gujarat and parts of Karnataka.

Point is that the person who made first hindi talkie wasn't a Hindi speaking person from North India. If he still went for the language then maybe it was the most widely spoken language even then..who knows. It's a topic of research

Who cares whether its called bollywood ir hindi cinema. The prolem is the mindset of the so called elites who look down on hindi while earning their bread n butter from making movies in hindi catering to pan india audience. Agar itni hi sharam aati hai hindi bolne mein toh phir hindi movies mein kaam hi kyu karte ho?

Jao saare hollywood mein.

Arre Kareena ko to Harvard bhejne ki taiyari ho rahi thi..that's why she is so comfortable with English. But her Hindi love was so strong n overpowering that she ended up here
