Indian Movies - Not good enough for you?

Many might want to argue why one should create something, or copy something! Rather take time, acquire some money, good animation and make something good. But they forget that this is India.

With
- the rupee falling everyday against the dollar in the international market (1 Rs. = 63 Rs.),
- our animators and technicians working abroad (check out the credits for any hollywood movie),
- our animation companies going for hollywood movies instead of Indian movies (just because the value of dollar is more) thus, we are charged higher from a homegrown animation company
- Hollywood movies outsource most of their work to other companies for cheaper costs of high quality animation,

But, saying all this is just being unfair. Every country has it's fair share of economic problems to deal with.

Now, if Hollywood outsources their work, it also implies that things are really tough over there as well with regards to costing, pricing, and budgets, and hence, comparing both Hollywood and Indian film industry + their movies, would be truly unfair! The audiences are different, the conditions are different, status of countries (developing, under-developed, or developed) are different.

So, if you want a movie in India to be better in terms of animation, or CGI, or SFX as compared to those in the US or China or Japan, it is truly unfair! The US SFX and CGI are awesome, China's animation is breathtaking, and Japan's animation is simply superb and innovative! Indian movies are at par with all these giants, and many times they have proven to be better. Many countries even use Indian media for thei prurpose, make movies and stuff. It is only because you don't hear about it, doesn't mean it isn't happening!

Comparisons are absolutely not cool according to me, and under these circumstances, definitely not cool enough!
