I always believe that Indian cinema doesn’t need any Oscars or other award to prove its excellence. Since couple of years I am quite happy that our film makers have made different kinds of movies. Even the Yash Raj banner which has produced only Romantic or family dramas has created some critically acclaimed films like Kabul express and our very own Chak de India. Perhaps due to the arrival of young directors like Rakesh Mehra, Anurag Kashyap, Faraah Khan,Bhandarkar, etc. has changed the whole face of Bollywood. So I really don’t understand in which world this bald Dan Wolman lives, after reading his comments in the paper Mumbai Mirror, I request the press to give me his address I would send him some DVDs of some classics like Lagaan, Devdas, RDB, Guru, Lage rahoo and the latest one Taare Zameen par. While comparing the talents I don’t think even Spielberg could make Devdas, no actor in Hollywood could match Hrithik. From dance to stunts-From Koi mil gaya to Dhoom2 he makes his mark. And also I don’t think Jackie Chen or Brad Pit could direct Taare Zameen par. And for SRK I don’t words because he is the best. Yet I would say do you have any star in WEST with no controversy in life like our SRK. And when comes to talent of Dan- he mentions of his film Tied, a movie on AIDS affected person, let me tell him we had already made My Brother Nickhil some years ago.
So an advice for him, before talking about Indian cinema, first sees what the status of your own country’s film. And never again dare to comment on India, the country where Satya Jeet Ray was born. And I don’t understand why Mumbai mirror entertain such people. What’s really wrong with you people? Go and write more about Rakhi Sawant’s Sawamvar and Kareena’s zero figure.

tru da...even i think why this stamp called OSCAR s needed anyway to prove we r the best . We know nomatter how good movies we do, oscar is still a far cry simply cause jury is full of brits & americans( read : why couldn`t lagaan get the oscars) . SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE never could achieve watever it got if it would had been a bollywood production . Bollywood is the biggest movie making industry in the whole world & india is only nation where hollywood couldn`t penetrate beyond 20% even for the HP movies . A standing ovation for Mr. RAY ofcourse cause PATHER PACHALI is among top 10 movies globally ever . It was really hard for "them" still not giving him an oscar . Yet I would quote BUT... when it comes to producing sci- fi , horror flicks , stunts . . .we stand nowhere to hollywood might be cause of budget constraint . We are best with love stories , loads of intense melodrama , rona dhona & what not . But we fall flat in producing even a decent ghost to scare us . Result - a cartoon show like PHOONK . N also the second illness we suffer from is that every other movie is actually a copy of hollywood movies . We don`t leave the music even . Pritam da is really great with it . They say a good copy is always better thn a bad original . Everything - RAAZ - REAPENING , LIFE IN A METRO - APARTMENT , PARTNER - HITCH , SALAAM E ISHQ - LOVE ACTUALL , Main Aisa Hi Hoon copied from I Am Sam, Murder copied from Unfaithful (2002), Hum Tum copied from When Harry Met Sally /Before Sunset, Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai copied from My Best Friend’s Wedding . List is probably endless . How many movies to name that happened vice versa ??
