With its newfound global recognition, the Indian films industry is a front runner in international business interest. Says renowned Bollywood screenwriter Kamlesh Pandey, who will also be speaking at Frames this year, "Like any other cultural export i.e. literature, heritage, even our films can be the ambassadors of our country. The power of Indian cinema is more than any other power in this country."
Citing the example of Slumdog Millionaire, Pandey adds, "Though Slumdog Millionaire was not completely an Indian film, it exposed India to the whole world. We have all the capabilities including the right talent, stories and expertise which can take the industry to the top. All that we need is the right sensibility and a global perspective of film making."
