Rani Mukerji defends Indian cinema; says 'Go watch 12th Fail'

Rani Mukerji defended Indian cinema and said that Indian films are the best and nothing can match our diversity, as director Prithvi Konanur opined that Indian movies are far behind Iranian cinema. In an interview with Galatta Plus, Prithvi commented that 'Iranian films are much better than Indian movies as far as ideas go and we must watch those.' Reacting to this, Rani shared that Indian cinema is the best in the world and if Prithvi wants to watch a film that has come from the roots, he should watch '12th Fail'. She added, 'I think it's a brilliant film made by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and it talks about India. It shows the struggle of youngsters in India in a brilliant way.' Rani further stated 'I don't think filmmaking is only about showing things in a certain way. I think when we talk about Indian cinema, it's an amalgamation of what we all do. In India, we make the most diverse films. Outside India, they don't have the diversity that India has.' Soon, netizens also took to their social media handles and expressed their views on India Vs Iranian cinema. One said, 'And yet, we have never heard of Indian movies winning international awards like the Oscars or the Palme d'Or despite making classic stuff like Pathaan, Jawaan and Animal', another wrote, 'I won’t necessarily say ‘best films in the World’, but I’ve to agree on the diversity part.'
