BRAND RAHMAN

We got it at last. Yes it is Oscar. We had to wait for a long time (read for a foreign director's Indian film) to benchmark our film industry. But it is surprise for me, while the excellent films like Lagaan or Rang de basanti could not achieved the status of Oscar, the less attractive film like Slumdog ... won Oscar? I have a crazy logic, those films were worth more than the so called oscar standard.
No need to analyze why we could not achieved the status before in any Indian film. It is time to look forward. It is the time to capitalize what we have now in our hand. Hollywood had a long relation with our Mumbai film induatry. But they never shown any interest to evaluate the feasibility to strenghen this relationship further. In recent times Reliance Big Entertainment shown their interest to attract more holly directors to Indian soil. Now slumdog being a benchmark for Indian film industry, the top foreign studios like Sony, Disney & TWX are all set to come to Mumbai. Slumdog's Oscar-winning sound mixer, Resul Pookutty, is an FTII(Pune-based Film & Television Institute of India) alumnus. Not only our competence of film making capability is on holly radar but also our filmy telent making institutions are of the prime interest of holly directors & studios. We can deliver same or improved version of hollywood jobs at much lesser price what we have already shown in IT already. Yes it's time to become a global film hub for Mumbai. It is seemed that opportunity is knocking the door.
