Not only an unsophisticated, but also an ignorant immature audience. And unfortunately, that ignorance is nowhere near being diminished. Instead most of the directors in India have chosen to degrade the line of Indian cinema further, and further to the point where the mere thought of an Indian cinema flashes pictures of dancing women and men out of nowhere. The line of art films is broken. All originality has been lost into oblivion. Those who care enough have secluded themselves into a small collection of cinemas that were made decades before they were born.

Still so relevant when Animal is released and how people are defending it. Satyajit Sir, nothing has changed :(

[@karthikvadloori]

True that. We don't just have unsophisticated audience, we have a massive unsophisticated audience. What should've been just an another gore film like one of Anurag Kashyap's, has been a box office hit appeasing a larger section of audience because of glorification and masala. Now this is the trend directors are following, and Sandeep is known to have broken the conventional barrier of it by endorsing the Hollywood trends.

His films looks like he made a documentary, they are very logical and have simplicity. His films' actors are amazing despite having lack of experience, and there are other shits where even experienced actors can't give a sense of realism.

You mean Prestige?

[@angelrabby8354]

Actually the film Inception or Prestige(not watched yet but definitely will) are freaking geniuses tho. I might get carried away on commenting and reviewing about Inception because in my opinion, it's about dreams that are actually in parallel universes but ended up on cliffhanger. You're going to ask yourself if it deserved a sequel (critical thinking POV) or something to "spoon feed" you (your mind is saying "im watching movies for entertainment and escapism as defined by mainstream media) of what actually happened.

Well, when you live in backward country what do you expect the audience to be? First improve people's economy , financial state then talk philosophy. 250 rupees ticket for a common man is still a huge money. If 24/7 your life is hell, I don't think you have to pay money and experience more pain and hell and turn into depression. They want hope , hope to move forward which these commercial films give.

Such clear thought about our Indian audience is only mentioned by the greatest Film-maker Satyajit Ray. Still in these times when only Box office collections of first 4-5 days decides the fate of the fillm and then there's OTT which even more massy ( low on good content ) which doesn't give a good 'cinema' or good content. Still there a very small part of Indian audience who cares & craves for World Cinema. Hope we get to see more films like Mr. Ray made & Film-makers as him in India
