I have been a movie fan - and I do enjoy movies with craft and its direction - not forgeting the character roles that actors portray.

Not all actors can portray characters out of their persona. As an example, Shah Rukhu Khan is a very bad character actor - yet, he plays with admiration of himself as ‘SRK’.

To my point if you study his characterization of ‘Devdas’ you would wonder what did he enact (and I am saying this not being biased of the Guru Dutt characterization). He was too loft and did not pay attention to emotions - it did not come out - nor for his demeanour nor of the pitiness.

Movies in India is a hard yakkka - even as a critic I am just as perplexed how movies are made in India. True, Bollywood is one of the many other woods around the country.

Then there are independents and art movie directors who really do well with subjects that are ‘indianism’ ...
