I don't mind it. But the fact that annoys me is that they don't know/show that there is a whole another side to India. They adhere to their stereotypes too much and want to feel the satisfaction of their stereotypes being "true". I hate it.

' tics, movies is art, not meant for image. We would be too small to think that some images can depict the whole country, everyone knows about India out there and more importantly we know about ourselves so these images shouldnt disturb us P.S - Whatever they are showing is REAL, isn't it so isme sharam kya hain

I wouldn't be so sure. A good chunk of the audience in the US is still oblivious to most things outside their own borders, totally uninformed on most things going on in the outside world (heck I've had plenty of people I met thinking Hong Kong - where I lived for 4 yrs - is part of Japan and people don't speak English there) and in some cases their own state. Don't underestimate the depths that stupidity can hit.

are you that insecure about your country? what do you want to make a movie about -- an ISRO scientist who falls in love with an alien on mars, which finally leads to the first manned mission to mars? Plot twist: ISRO scientist's family object to marrying the alien because she is from a different caste...and so they run away to Venus where they will never be found.

Don't take it wrong way. I want to see these directors show the better side of India too rather then just seeing the same caste system scenes being shown and the scenes of poverty.
