Most of my awards come from foreign festivals!
Personally, I've always felt that I've enjoyed my work. But there have been times where I've have waited for interesting work to come my way.
Rituparno Ghosh was one of the finest filmmakers of India; I had seen his films 'Raincoat' and 'Chokher Bali' and I had always admired his body of work.
OTT platforms have opened up a whole new area to explore in terms of content, writing, acting, everything. But I'm not really very comfortable with the four-letter cuss words in all languages, which are now used liberally; I'm a bit old school.
I loved the cinema of Basu Chatterjee, Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Bhattacharya. Their movies were close to life, yet heart-warming.
First of all, I never make a movie for awards consideration.
Speaking from personal experience, I watch zero shows when they air. The only shows I watch live are awards shows or sports. Shows like 'True Detective' and 'Game Of Thrones,' I watch every episode, but I don't watch them as they air, and I think that's becoming the case for people more.
It's sort of a meat market, the whole awards thing, and I don't think you can predict it anymore - who's going to like what you've done, if it's worthy or not. And hopefully, that's not why you make a film, because if you're distracted by that, or only striving for that, you don't do it justice.
On a personal level, I love the idea of hosting an awards show. I think that sounds like kind of a fun thing to do.
