Cinema with a purpose

The Hindu  

Although India is the largest producer of films in the world, quality films represent a minuscule minority of the films produced. Even in Bombay, the prime seat of commercial Indian cinema, there emerged a kind of cinema that was different from the popular variety, one which had great regional character. Around the same time India also had a kind of popular cinema with social themes - again, particularly in Hindi - made by film-makers like Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt and Raj Kapoor. Thus, the all-pervasive Bollywood variety of film, designed and executed for popular consumption and always trying to cater to an untrained kind of taste or logic, came to represent Indian cinema. Though commercial cinema was always popular, most of the offbeat films made, right from the 1960s, were also released through regular cinema houses, there was always an audience for such films.
