I'm not naive enough to pretend that on its own cinema can capture the very soul of significant social and cultural problems.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People are mistaken to view cinema as some sort of gimmick. It's very much ingrained in the ways in which we understand each other.
Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.
Movies can tell us about our place, or lack of place, in our culture.
Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.
Whether you think a film will affect society or it's plain entertainment, it's all excellent, it's all noble.
I truly believe in cinema's potential for cultural impact. I have a clear idea what I want to do - to enrich people's lives.
The trick of making movies in this culture is how to not give up everything that makes them worthwhile in order to get them made - and that's a tricky balance.
Film, therefore, is part of society, not distant from it, easy to experience for people regardless of class.
In India, the films are not looked upon just as entertainment. They're a way of life.
Cinema is a reflection of its own society.
