Baghbaan' is a totally commercial film.
What is a commercial film? I think every film is commercial, as every film makes money.
As I've indicated, most books go out of print within one year. The same is true of music and film. Commercial culture is sharklike. It must keep moving. And when a creative work falls out of favor with the commercial distributors, the commercial life ends.
I think we have the wrong notion of commercial and intellectual or artistic film. Because all films are commercial.
Every few years when it's been another five years that have passed and I haven't made a film and the depression starts taking over totally, I allow myself to do a commercial. And then I feel really dirty and get to work promptly.
It has nothing to do with commercial success. You cannot calculate in your head how to put the mosaic together to make a commercial film: that's out of the question.
When I get saturated by commercial films, I'll probably do another film like 'Siskiyaan.' But yes, as a viewer, I really enjoy commercial cinema; so obviously, as an actor, I would love to be a part of one.
I did New York, I Love You which is a very personal film for me. My most personal film, but it's not like a film I've ever made. I would never do that film as a feature, for instance, because it's not very commercial of an idea.
Tampon commercial, detergent commercial, maxi pad commercial, windex commercial - you'd think all women do is clean and bleed.
I grew up on the commercial film format. I have grown up all my life watching films and they have all been mainstream commercial cinema.
I have done a Hamburger Helper commercial, a Hardees commercial, a McDonalds commercial. American Express commercial.
Even during my short film days, I approached theatres with the idea of playing them during the interval. They thought it was problematic to screen an offbeat short film in between a commercial film.
Every time I decide not to do a commercial film, a masala film, I'm closer to myself.
At the time I left film school there wasn't a lot of hope for young film-makers. It was a calling card of film school to be quite slick and commercial, which might lead to getting some stuff on telly.
Commercial film is a film that makes a lot of money, and I have very high hopes from 'Sonchiriya.'
If the film succeeds at the box office it is a commercial film. Otherwise it isn't.
Regardless of what film you make, you want people to watch your film, and you ultimately need commercial success.
