It is the only way that the film fraternity can introduce the audience to better cinema. A lot of people in India may never watch the English version, but they definitely will watch the Big B. These successful actors are taking a risk with these movies simply to start a better trend. Also, till very recently, theater and exaggerated gestures and expressions were what people were used to. We cannot suddenly switch to the subtle expression changes and muted conversation of Hollywood movies...not if you want the crowd to get what's happening. So, basically, Indian cinema is getting there. It might take some time, but I'm sure that the fraternity is doing its best with movies like Black. Sorry for the long comment. I liked the effort put into the movie Black, and felt I should share my take on it. :) I think there is a reason that Indian movies are “rip-offs” of good English ones.

I don't know why it got awards and accolades. i think it was pathetic. Rani Mukherjee acted like an imbecile, not a blind-deaf person. Sickening! It was too dark a movie to be called hope inspiring I felt. Oh God! finally! finally someone who disliked the movie as much as did I.

I'm sorry to the bollywood fans out there. But you do have a point, But there is one that has caught my eye, rang de basanti...it has such passion and soul, I don't know it seems to depict the current situation of India with a rare form of an authentic plot. There is a lesson to learn from this film, And as for bollywood rip offs, it's just a matter of a nostaglia feeling with a dose of melodrama! Ciao.. Darsh Hahaha…I agree with this!
