Filmmaker Kiran Rao, who made her directorial debut with off-beat film Dhobi Ghat, feels there may be wish to create space for such films. However, she admits it's risky to make non-commercial films and that she would think before creating a film like her debut vehicle. "Today, should you question me if
I would wish to make film like Dhobi Ghat, I'D re-evaluate about it," she said stressing at the point that the rustic needs right infrastructure to showcase off beat movies.
"There's must have arthouse cinema (theatres) to turn films that aren't necessarily popular in content because I FEEL venues like this will likely help remember the fact that language of such more or less cinema," said Rao, who was on the 12th Osian's-Cinefan Film Festival Monday for a panel discussion of her film 2010 film Dhobi Ghat.
"I think the India is getting opening as much as such films and slowly the audience may be increasing," she added.
She was accompanied by the forged and crew of the film. Rao considers herself lucky that her offbeat film got a colossal release, but agrees that sometimes such films struggle to search out a spot in multiplexes.
"Multiplexes is not the way it's made out to be. On the end of the day, they suspect in profit sharing. If I as a filmmaker take an overly radical subject, which would not get an audience within the first week, multiplexes wouldn't conform to let it play on their screens. They might throw me out within the first actual week," said Rao.
"They wouldn't keep me until they get a minimum of 40 percent of the audience. So the movies that take risks is not the right choice for multiplexes. But I'M fortunate that I make a movie the way in which I NEED it to be and that i even got the discharge that I WISHED it to be," she added.
