'Talvar' changed perspectives but don't believe it influenced court decision: Meghna Gulzar
Her film "Talvar" on the 2008 Aarushi-Hemraj twin murder case may have changed perspectives "to some extent" but it will be wrong to say it had any influence on the Allahabad High Court acquitting dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, asserts director Meghna Gulzar. The Talwars acquittal, in the sensational murder case of their teen daughter and domestic help, has been challenged by the CBI in the Supreme Court. "... our judiciary operates free from all biases. They also looked at the facts of the case, like we did and processed them with more objectivity, Meghna said at the Times Literature Festival Sunday when asked whether the film had any impact on the 2017 verdict. "....I would indeed like to believe that the film has, to some extent changed the perspective of the people," she said. Gulzar's 2015 film, starring Konkona Sensharma, Neeraj Kabi and Irrfan in lead roles, deconstructed the double murder from three different perspectives. Though the film presented all versions, some .

Audiences letting filmmakers down, says Paul Schrader
"Taxi Driver" writer Paul Schrader says current lack of quality films in Hollywood is because audiences no longer take films seriously. Schrader, who most recently wrote and directed "First Reformed", starring Eathan Hawke, says there are talented filmmakers keen to explore social issues through cinema but they are being let down by the viewers, reported Deadline. "There are people who talk about the American cinema of the 70s as some halcyon period. It was to a degree but not because there were any more talented filmmakers. There's probably, in fact, more talented filmmakers today than there was in the 70s. What there was in the 70s was better audiences, he said. When people take movies seriously it's very easy to make a serious movie, he continued. When they don't take it seriously, it's very, very hard. We now have audiences that don't take movies seriously so it's hard to make a serious movie for them. It's not that us filmmakers are letting you down, it's you audiences are ...

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who has produced both Janhvi Kapoor's debut "Dhadak" and Sara Ali Khan's second feature "Simmba", says it is "unfair" to compare the two young actors.
