Jai Ho !!

This sudden telekinesis to the global stage has caught us unaware. Allah Rakha Rehman, the perpetrator of this cultural shock, just stands modestly and smiles. Today, I won't talk about the movie and bore people who haven't been given a moment's respite from the constant reminding by the news agencies. Frankly, I am not happy for "Slumdog Millionaire". Why does it always have to be an outsider to jolt us out of our stupor ? I do not mean that Danny Boyle should not have been allowed to shoot in India. What I mean is, we have lived in India for ages and understand it better than anybody else in the world. But, when it comes to cinema we, unfortunately, go for the false razzmatazz. Many Indian directors shoot almost all of their movies abroad. Isn't it ironical that people come to India, shoot movies and documentaries and sweep away the Oscars ? For the lesser informed public, a documentary "SMILE PINKI !" got the award for the best Documentary on a short subject. It was shot completely in India and revolves about the life a girl called Pinki. This will surely serve as an eyeopener for the Indian cinema fraternity and raise their respect for the subject called "INDIA !!".
