As desis who are often made fun of around the world for our Bollywood song-and-dance movies, we take this moment as our proudest ever. Because guess what, Christopher Nolan just said he watched the goddamn amazing Satyajit Ray’s Pather Panchali and thought it was the most ‘extraordinary’ piece of work!
The director, virtually a god for so many youngsters in the country, and is in India on a three-day trip, also added that wants to meet “Indian filmmakers and get the better understanding of cinema culture here.”
We sincerely hope our contemporary films don’t disappoint you, sir!
Meanwhile, let the desi dancing begin.
