I meant exactly the same.....it is pompous, posh, extravagant affair....

does it really enhance the viewers taste of quality of good films ?.....I doubt

I was highlighting the above cause of Indian film festival, not because of I am INDIAN, but anyone who does sincere efforts / better knowledgeable groups should be congratulated.

but they are downtrodden, "poor cousins" of rich relatives, who never get any sponsorship or aid....but still offer good films FREE OF COST ....

Is it not to be congratulated ?
