Every year the Indian film industry produces in excess of 2000 films between the nine different regional film industries: Hindustani cinema, Bengali cinema, Tamil cinema, Malayalam cinema, Kannada cinema, Marathi cinema, Assamese cinema, Oriya cinema and Telugu cinema. Each industry should have two lists, the first with a more detailed summary of the highest grossing and most critically acclaimed films, and the second with a more generalized film chronology of the particular industry in question:
Famous quotes containing the words lists of, lists, indian, film and/or industries:
“Behold the Atom—I preferred—
To all the lists of Clay!”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“Most of our platitudes notwithstanding, self-deception remains the most difficult deception. The tricks that work on others count for nothing in that very well-lit back alley where one keeps assignations with oneself: no winning smiles will do here, no prettily drawn lists of good intentions.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
“Ha ha! ha ha! This world doth pass
Most merrily I’ll be sworn,
For many an honest Indian ass
Goes for a unicorn.”
—Unknown. Fara Diddle Dyno (l. 1–4)
“You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
—Werner Herzog (b. 1942)
“All industries are brought under the control of such people [film producers] by Capitalism. If the capitalists let themselves be seduced from their pursuit of profits to the enchantments of art, they would be bankrupt before they knew where they were. You cannot combine the pursuit of money with the pursuit of art.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
