I was just talking about this with someone last night, about how Indian film is still a mostly word of mouth world. Usually, when you read gossip articles, there is a big unspoken thing at the center of them, like Rekha and Amitabh’s affair, and they just keep dancing around it. You have to learn the big unspoken thing on the streets or through osmosis, and then all the written stuff will make a whole lot more sense.
Anyway, I don’t know what’s going on right now, but I just stumbled across a whole bunch of articles from the past few days that actually say the things no one is supposed to come right out and say!
