While I appreciate the glamour, I wish more contemporary Indian actors got this platform too. Our new generation filmmakers are doing brilliant work - hope they get similar recognition at international festivals.

Karle Fashion is a great choice! Indian designers are finally getting their due on international red carpets. Though I must say, I would have loved to see her in a traditional sari - nothing beats that elegance for representing our culture.

This news made me so nostalgic! 'Aranyer Din Ratri' was my introduction to Bengali cinema. Simi Garewal, Sharmila Tagore, Soumitra Chatterjee - what a dream cast! Hope this restoration introduces Ray's genius to a new generation of film lovers.

While I'm happy for Simi Garewal, I can't help but think - why aren't we doing more to preserve and restore our cinematic heritage ourselves? We should have Indian institutions leading such projects rather than relying on Western filmmakers.
