Don’t kill that small budget entertainer !New Delhi, June 14 : Beautifully told tales touching upon various human emotions hit the silver screen this year with movies like “I AM”, “Chalo Dill” and “Stanley Ka Dabba”. But only a few did well as the audiences were either not aware or were hesitant about watching an unfamiliar cast or theme. Ironically, these tales are often more engrossing compared to big-buck movies, mainly because the emphasis is more on content, storytelling technique and performances.Such films deserve a chance. “If small-budget films succeed, people will make more experimental cinema and have content-based scripts,” says filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. One such film with good performances was “Chalo Dill” that brought out an interesting contrast between the affluent and the middle class. Lara Dutta, as hoity-toity investment banker Mihika Mukherjee, and Vinay Pathak, as unpolished small-time sari seller Manu Pathak, created the desired effect on screen. But “Chalo Dill”, directed by Shashant Shah, couldn’t attract enough footfalls to make it a hit.
