Talaash director Reema Kagti feels that Indian films are rarely considered art and they are there to just provide entertainment.
"In India, films are rarely considered art, they are considered entertainment. Through film festivals we are breaking this reductionist view of filmmaking… and I am glad," she told IANS in an exclusive interview.
She says after making Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd in 2007, she never made a conscious effort to direct a commercial or an art film.
"I don't decide if I am going to be making this kind of film or that kind of film. For me, it’s about falling in love with the story and then writing a screenplay for that story. And the treatment I give to that story.
"I don't consciously try to make a commercial or a festival film. I just go with the story and wherever that leads me to," she said.
If her debut movie focused on shades of romance through six couples from different age groups, her next Talaash is a suspense thriller. Starring Aamir Khan in the lead role, it is coming out November 30.
