Indian Cinema Scores A Ton | Editor's Pen

Hi Friends,
 
Over last couple of days, film industry suffered some setbacks. Be it release of Kamal Haasan’s Viswaroopam or outrageous comments by Rehman Malik on Shahrukh Khan. We saw a Sudheer Mishra movie falling below his standards. We lost some Marathi actors in accidents. Terrible.
 
Amidst these news, we saw Indian Cinema completing 100 years. What a journey! A nation which failed on many grounds is the world leader in Cinema. We learnt the trade from west, modeled it on our sensibilities and created some of the best pieces of art under sky. People might not agree as they revere American and European films like demigods, but the fact is that even though we might not have outnumbered them, we have given them stiff contest as far as quality of cinema is concerned. Pyaasa, Kaagaz Ke Phool, Do Aankhein Barah Haath, Waqt, Anand etc. are at par with any Hollywood classic.
 
Celebrating achievements of Indian cinema, from this edition we are starting a ten part series - 100 Years Of Indian Cinema.
 
One more news is there, though not pleasant. Due to heavy workload on the admins in their professional life, we will not be able to continue with Between Breaths Short Film Contest. However, we will dedicate the edition to selected short films. Apologies for disappointing you all but we believe that quality should not be compromised.
 
Love,
Sujoy
