Celebratory Cinema Viewing in India

According to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, cinema is no longer art in India. People do not watch art anymore. Cinema viewing is celebratory here. It is just like celebrating a festival. You go to a  film that gives you all the joy, laughter, fun, action, romance, whistles and claps. It is a tradition here to see all this. This is where people belong. Even while making a serious film, the melodrama must be balanced. Though good experimental movies work, the dominant mood is entertainment.
