Jo meri kahaani hai, woh Slow Poison in Progress hai pata. toh cinema hai Log hi nahi hain, toh kuch bhi nahi.” As filmmakers and actors, it is our responsibility to present a true picture, the reality and the way people live.” (It is very important. People need to understand what they are eating and what they are not. My story is about ‘slow poisoning.’ What is this slow poison – people only realize after watching the film. Cinema exists only because of the audience; without an audience, there is nothing. That’s why this is important.

So, it depends on the type of film being made. It’s not like something is missing. If a film is made for commercial purposes, then it is a commercial film. You can’t have reality in the middle of a commercial film. I mean, you can have real feelings – that’s all you have, and that’s all there is. So, I don’t agree with the fact that everything is missing. They are different genres, and different films are made for different reasons. Our film, this one, is a true film, but it’s also fun, and it’s a courtroom drama. So, there are several components to this. But different movies have different appeals. “About ‘The Story of India’The film is produced by Swati Vinayak Saindane, Anita Jadhav, Vinayak Saindane, Kalpesh Shah, Devyani Khorate, and Prem Joshi.
