Today's original quote

In our films, the quality of production has gone up, the quality of direction has plummeted.

To watch a Bimal Da film, or any of the international classics, shows us what is missing in our cinema today - the heart and soul of story telling. 

Corporatisation has its benefits. Soulful cinema is not one of them. 

I don't meant the socialist cinema of NSD alumni. I mean directors who really had an individuality, a voice, a thing that they wanted to say in a certain way, and the standards that they held themselves to. 

I miss that. Truly.
