But, yea it seems like most people especially those fans of the so-called "superstars" seem to equate quality of a film with box office success. Though I didn't find "Daivanamathil" too deep enough. It had all the cliched art-house stuff in it. But that's not enough. Not much of filmmakers in India are thinking out side of the box. Take a look at Siddiq Barmak's "Osama" and one might understand what I mean. Most people in India churn out commercial crap for the sake of money and art-house cliche for just awards. No one does anything to bring out good cinema. P.S. Bhavana didn't have any scope of getting an award in that film because obviously her character doesn't do much. Hence, she doesn't have much to show off in terms of her acting skills. wow I guess I’m replying pretty late.

Indian audience as well as media are so partial about stars and they hardly gives credit as well as money to the other techinicians! In kerala I have seen that in all the problems where AMMA involved, people thought justice is on their part and technicians/producers have no right of opinion.! this is so mean..

People just look at the actors not the visual medium called cinema. Actors are overrated in India. That’s the problem with Indian cinema and the audience there.
