Smile Pinki, a nice documentary which won the Oscar Award in 2009. It's about a small girl who faced a bad time because of lip-cleft... Its a documentary which was shot at Mirzapur & Varanasi cities of Uttar Pradesh, India.
It's been made very realistic, no drama anywhere at all.. But, the sad part here is that a foreigner "Megan Mylan" got the Oscar Award for this.. The story was Indian, actors were Indian, shooting also happened in India, but what did India get out of it...?? Some name and fame which that girl got out of it; is that enough, is that all ??
This time Oscars was a great event, reason being Indian presence was felt there (by Slumdog Millionaire & Smile Pinki). But, it was all superficial. Just think how many Oscars actually came to India, out of all which were won. Thanks to AR Rehman & the other fellow from Kerala for his job that something came to India...
Now the point to think is --- "When we have all the resources and talents which can fetch Oscar(s), why is it happening that people from outside only get it always ..?? "
I will be more happy if some Indian fellow would have got that OSCAR for Smile Pinki. Infact, while watching it, I was expecting to see the Indian names in the cast; but I got disappointed when i didn't see my people there ..
