For Me, Important Films Are Not Tamasha, Rockstar, Highway But...: Imtiaz Ali
ABP NewsJaipur: Films that you make are like houses that you live in on rent but the ones that you grew up watching are your own, says filmmaker Imtiaz Ali who would defend "Sholay" over his movies "Rockstar" or "Tamasha" any day. Ali, whose films have a fandom of their own, particularly "Rockstar" and "Tamasha", said these films may not have done well during their release weekend but over the years, they have acquired a certain power and fans get mad at any kind of criticism against them. The films that you make are just like houses that you live in on rent," the filmmaker said during a session hosted by film critic Anupama Chopra. "Tamasha" is often cited by fans for being a life changing movie with its inherent message of choosing one's dream over societal expectations but Ali said it would be "too much" to take that kind of responsibility" as a filmmaker.
