We all know Gajendra Chauhan does not want to abandon his post as the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) chairman. But everyone other than the chairman in question wants a different person to head the prestigious organisation. Even veteran actor Anupam Kher said so during a TV debate on Thursday night. Oh, Kher also asked Chauhan to shut up.
It all began with a simple question, 'What is a good movie?" Chauhan, in all sincerity gave one of those mediocre rote answers about how the movie which is liked by all is a good one, "Jo picture chal jaye, audience se accept ho jaye," (any picture that works and is accepted by the audience) is what Chauhan's definition of a good movie is. (By that logic, Happy New Year must be the best movie to have come out of Bollywood. Please wait while we go and kill ourselves).
Of course, Kher didn't buy any of that and declared without mincing any words, "I think that was a sad statement to make." He also added, "Picture woh achhe hoti hai jo aapke mann ko kahi na kahi chhooti hai. Aapke mann ke ehsaas ko jagati hai. Aapko kuch sochne par majboor karti hai..." (A good movie is one which touches your heart and soul, which forces you to think).
