No matter how great the movie or story, Indians adopt to make their own, they can never pull it off. And I am worried that they will make a mess out of Othello. They made a historic movie of Ashoka, one of the greatest emperors of all times, and turned it into a song dance, pathetically plotted regular saga. Recently I watched a Saif Ali Khan's movie called "Being Cyprus." Even though the movie was in english with a completely different theme than a regular Bollywood movie, it failed to deliver what it had promised, and that it to revolutionize the movie industry. Just the fact that many of the actors and actress in Bollywood are sons and daughters of other actors and directors should be an indication that they are not picked merely for acting skills. Well unless acting is hereditary. And the directors are not creative, imaginative enough to come up with a master piece. Hollywood aside, even the European, and other Asian movie industries with lesser budget come up with better movies. And the Indians wonder, how come they never win Oscar.
