In one way, I’m proud of Hindi films because of the importance of the mother in almost every flick. Without Cine’maa’ in the Bollywood film, we always felt something missing. Just like in the world of reality, they love you unconditionally, they fight for you and make you cry, teach you lessons of life, and support you same happens in movies whether it is the classics “Mother India” and “Deewar” or our generation movies such as “Taare Zameen Par” and “Rang De Basanti”.
