Mumbai, July 30 – Parallel cinema is still struggling to find a place in India and even multiplexes have not been able to create space for it, says veteran actor-director Amol Palekar.
‘Non-mainstream cinema is mostly forgotten when we talk about Indian cinema. Only masala Hindi films are not what Indian cinema consists of,’ Amol, 65, told Ians in an interview here.
‘There is no platform for smaller films. It is crowded and bombarded by mainstream films and their hype and hence there is no visibility for different films,’ said Amol, who helmed movies like ‘Thodasa Rumani Ho Jaye’, ‘Daayraa’ and ‘Kairee’.
