Rani Mukerji hails Indian films best in world heaps praises on “12th Fail”
Notedly, Rani Mukerji lauds 12th Fail after being ‘offended’ by Prithvi Konanur asking people to watch Iranian cinema.
Recently Rani claimed that India ‘makes the best films in the world’ citing the example of Vikrant Massey-starrer 12th Fail, based on IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma’s life.
In the midst of a recent roundtable with Galatta Plus, Rani commented in response to filmmaker Prithvi Konanur saying that Iranian cinema was better than Indian films as far as ideas go.
Rani’s response was met with criticism on X (formerly Twitter), with some even saying ‘Rani’s take is as garbage as it gets’.
Before Rani Mukerji could come up, Prithvi Konanur had said, that he urged people to watch Iranian films. One can be a witness to a vast difference amidst our films and their films.
Rani was a bit offended when told that we should learn from other people’s cinema. She does believe that Indian cinema is the best in the world.
She added that It is a brilliant film made by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and it talks about India… everything is very brilliantly shown. She feels that we in India make the most diverse films. When you talk about films from outside India, they don’t have the diversity that India has. She believes Indian cinema has a lot to offer and actually are the best in the world and she wouldn’t want to compare Indian cinema with any other cinema in the world because we have the truest stories, most grounded stories.
