Rani Mukerji defends Indian cinema
During a recent roundtable with Galatta Plus, Prithvi Konanur said, “I ask people to watch Iranian films. Watch them. You can see a vast difference our films and their films. I feel we are, for some reason, actually far behind Iranian cinema. There is an honest opinion. I request people to watch Iranian films and see how advanced they are in terms of ideas, maybe not in terms of technology, but in terms of ideas where they are.”
That didn’t go down well with Rani who responded saying, “So, I would like to say something here because I am a little offended when he says that we should learn from other people’s cinema. I do believe that Indian cinema is the best in the world, so I would not agree with that. I am really sorry because if you talk about films that come from the roots, I think you must watch 12th Fail. It is a brilliant film made by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and it talks about India… everything is very brilliantly shown. I feel that we in India make the most diverse films.”
The actress added, “When you talk about films from outside India, they don’t have the diversity that India has. I believe Indian cinema has a lot to offer and actually are the best in the world… I would not want to compare Indian cinema with any other cinema in the world because we have the truest stories, most grounded stories.”
Rani was last seen in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. The actress earned widespread praise for her performance in Ashima Chibber directorial.
