IQ's

I've always find the HAT KE stuff from Indian 35mm a pleasure to watch. This usually accounts for the movies from RGV, Mani Ratnam, Deepa Mehta, Shayam Bengal, and others like them.

I've seen some serious movie-buffs to be anti-Indian cine. I don't find it true to its core. I admit that Hindi Cinema is a lot more inspired by the Hollywood but still there are some names that have produced highly original and dangerously serious stuff on the screen. Bringing sensitive issues with a fineese on the screen knowing that the masses constantly need mirch masala and item numbers is not an easy task.

DIL SE is one of the Indian movies I've always loved. A Mani Ratnam flick, I find this movie highly captivating. As expected the movie didn't do any wonders on the box office but in UK it did reached the TOP 10 in movie charts. A good story line and a comparatively sensible handling of an issue like Terrorism is not what we are used to watch in Indies thesedays.
