Excerpts:
The Indian showing at Cannes, the world's most prestigious film festival, hit rock bottom this year with copycat films like "Jism" representing Bollywood in the market section.
Films like Pooja Bhatt's "Jism" and "Paap", both ripped off from Hollywood films, and Karan Razdan's "Hawas", a faithful adaptation of "Unfaithful" represented Bollywood in the market section at Cannes.
And Indian cinema's sole triumph at Cannes this year -- the screening of Mehboob Khan's "Mother India" in the prestigious classic films section -- was completely ignored by the Indian media.
Media consultant and cineaste Sunil Doshi, who attended this historic screening of "Mother India" at Cannes, was impressed by the rapturous response.
"People from all over Europe saw the film, and they were ecstatic."
Commercial screenings of a few select films released in France have been getting a good response.
"Mother India" was released on June 6 in France with French subtitles. Earlier, on May 26, Karan Johar's "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" was released with French subtitles. His "Kal Ho Na Ho" is also slated for release in France during Christmas this year.
