A, I'm glad to help out with Indian films. But, I must warn you that I don't get to see enough of regional cinema (in languages other than Hindi, and my mother tongue Bengali), to have a fuller sense of what's happening. The problem with India is that each state is like a different country with its own language and culture, and the films (subtitled DVDs) emerging out of those contexts are as difficult to access as films from other parts of the world!
