Continue readingDiscussion Question: If You Could Show One American Movie to All of India, What Would it Be?
Opposite! I already asked the reverse question on the morning post, Indian movie for America. Easier in some ways for this crowd I think, not because we know more about India than Hollywood but just because we are used to introducing people to Indian films more.
