Why Bollywood does it Spanish styledo we always rave and rant about not making it to the Oscars every year – when the fact is that Bollywood is going great guns, thank you very much! If the ‘global’ nod is so important, then here’s one more reason why the Hindi film industry should be feeling very good about itself. Madrid has just hosted a weeklong festival (organized by Renoir and Palafox cinemas and the Spanish Film Institute) showcasing the best of the world’s most prolific film industry – and six Indian films made their way to the official competition! Which ones? Well, there was Vishal Bharadwaj’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello, Omkara, while the rest of the line-up included Nagesh Kukunoor’s Dor (a story of two women who hail from vastly different worlds), Chitra Palekar’s Maati Maay (a movie about a female gravedigger), Gajendra Ahire’s Bayo, Anjan Das’ Faltu and Sashi Paravoor’s Nottam. Outside the competition, the festival also hosted Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Eklavya, Govindan Aravindan’s Malayalam film Vasthuhara (The Dispossessed) that deals with refugees struggling to survive post-Partition world, and Pamela Rooks’ Train to Pakistan.
