i was browsing the net quite thoroughly for quite some time. i was amazed to find that there is absolutely no information on indian films. though recently quite a few indian films have created more than ripples in important festival circuit. namely, buddhadeb dasgupta's the wrestlers (uttara), which got rave reviews, reception and rewards in many recently concluded festvals including venice last year. similarly jayaraj's karunam and m f hussain's gaja-gamini were shown in berlin 2001. i want to know whether indian films have lost all relevance in the western world or the unavailability of these films in us and europe is the primary reason for absolutely no interest in indian films among many of the so called film buffs of the greater world! i am eager to receive any post on indian films.
