A Quote by Dev Anand

No film should be meaningless. — © Dev Anand
No film should be meaningless.
Your writers write these pieces about meaningless startups, meaningless apps and meaningless companies.
I have always believed that if a film has only two characters, but they do not make any sense, then the film's meaningless.
If the universe were just electrons and selfish genes, meaningless tragedies ... are exactly what we should expect, along with equally meaningless good fortune. Such a universe would be neither evil nor good in intention ... The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind pitiless indifference.
On a certain level, the film retains a cultural memory. It may be meaningless to some kids, but it doesn't matter. A lot of the '90s references will be meaningless, but do some of these kids really understand what they're wearing when they wear a Led Zeppelin shirt? No. But, it looks cool and it seems to have some sort of cultural cache.
One of the things that gets confused often is the difference between marriage and good marriage. Marriage is a theoretical concept of the institution, and 'you should be married,' is actually meaningless. Marriage is pretty meaningless without the notion of having a specific person to whom you are married.
If it's a good work of adaptation, the book should remain a book and the film should remain a film, and you should not necessarily read the book to see the film. If you do need that, then that means that it's a failure. That is what I think.
Publishing should be a collaboration between authors and their smartest readers - and at some point the distinction should become meaningless.
Football is the love of my life. I would never say I don't want to play. Somebody could say that this game is meaningless. Who is it meaningless to? I guess people who are watching the game? Or the people who are playing it? It's definitely not meaningless to us.
If a film is suitable for family viewing, it should remain so, and if a film has some adult content, it should remain so, and these genres should never be mixed and spoil the vision of the story teller.
I shall go on shining as a brilliantly meaningless figure in a meaningless world.
A meaningless statement remains meaningless no matter how often it's heard.
Life is meaningless, but worth living, provided you recognize it's meaningless.
Early on everyone should do, every time they do a big film, they should do a little film. It really does keep you grounded.
Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go its pretty damn good.
I'm the kind of person that, as a listener, will go the extra mile to interpret something that's fairly meaningless, or that might be meaningless.
A film is its own thing and in an ideal world I think a film should be discovered knowing nothing and nothing should be added to it and nothing should be subtracted from it.
