In fact, the harsh economic realities of India have provided such a quick and easy formula for serious films that other, equally significant issues were rarely tackled. For example, mental and psychological issues, more universal in their scope than a country's economy, have been addressed only by the greatest Indian moviemakers - Satyajit Ray, Shyam Benegal, Mrinal Sen, Girish Karnad, etc. Thanks for writing on my two favorite subjects - movies and economics.

I wish somebody would make a really good documentary on this theme." I really wish it too. Well, It is the viewers who are mainly responsible for this. They are too much obsessed with the glamour and beauty of Bolllywood movies. Many farmers in South India <a href="http://www.southasiabiz.com/suicide/" rel="nofollow"> committed suicide in the last five years</a> because they were unable to pay their loans. In Indian movies we never see this kind of real life depiction. ” It offers a different perspective on the attitudes and Acts in India through the last 50 years.
