To think that a film could be made in Rs. 180 and win a competition, is definitely something our entire industry can learn from. It’s the collaboration, content and technique that makes great cinema, not just heavy budgets, and this competition provided further evidence to this. It was a great experience for me to be part of the jury for this competition. We, surely, have a great future of filmmakers to come.”
