A Quote by Raghava Lawrence

'MSKS' is a commercial film with all the usual formula. But, as with my earlier films, there will be a strong social message.

Realistic non-commercial films offer you a lot more liberty as a director than a usual film.

Priyadarshan

I have a problem with the present definition of commercial films. To me, 'Ghare and Baire' is an absolute mainstream film. There are also many films I have worked in that have been called art films by many. But I consider commercial.

Koel Mallick

I think films are about having a good time, so I don't know that there's a message. The message of a film is always what a critic writes, and the fun of a film or the emotion of a film is what the audience feels.

Steve Martin

In the beginning, it wasn't even a question of deciding I'm going to do independent film and not commercial films - I wasn't being offered any commercial films, and there wasn't an independent scene.

Steve Buscemi

Our films are changing so people across the world can see them - when 'Highway' premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, a Polish lady said to me, 'It has a strong message for women.' So it's good to know our films are connecting universally.

Alia Bhatt

I think we have the wrong notion of commercial and intellectual or artistic film. Because all films are commercial.

Luc Besson

I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.

Juliette Binoche

The State Film Authority will be there for film as industry only, as is the case in all the other states, except Victoria. Victoria is moving more now into supporting non-commercial films.

Ann Macbeth

It is said that anyone who does commercial cinema is not acting, and anyone who does an art film is acting. I don't believe it. I feel whenever you are doing a film, you are acting. So you need to be applauded for that. I won't do art house cinemas. I want to make commercial films. I want my films to make money.

Bipasha Basu

People talk about making art films - experimental films. I can make an art film every day of the week. Nothing to it. What's difficult is to combine a commercial film with art.

Carlo Ponti

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.

Neha Dhupia

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.

Mani Ratnam

The message films that try to be message films always fail. Likewise with documentaries. The documentaries that work best are the ones that eschew a simple message for an odd angle. I found that one of the most spectacular films about the Middle East was 'Waltz With Bashir,' or 'The Gatekeepers,' or '5 Broken Cameras.'

Alex Gibney

When it comes to films, people often don't differentiate between the message of a bad central character and the message of the film itself. They are two separate things.

Christian Bale

If a film has a social message, it is very important for me to know what the message is and how it's going to be delivered, but it's not something I look for all the time.
