Guneet Monga Urges Hindi Cinema To Embrace More Rooted Films
MUMBAI-The Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga Kapoor, who recently attended the 56th edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, feels that Indian cinema needs to come up with more rooted stories.
The producer feels the more rooted a story is, the greater is the possibility of it clicking with a global audience. She also praised India’s official Oscar entry ‘Homebound.’
She further mentioned, “I do think that a film like ‘Kantara’, a film like ‘Manjummel Boys’, these are all very good films that could also do well. They are actually super rooted and can work internationally. I think they will do exceptionally well outside of India and break barriers. But I do feel like in Hindi, we need to do more rooted stuff”. (IANS)

Recently saw the movie called “HomeBond.” This movie reminded me of ‘Dosti” without songs by Laxmikant Pyatelall. The movie was very gritty and sad., But it was well produced and acted. The movie reiterates the huge divide between the Rich and the Poor.
