In a conversation with ANI, Sunil Barve said, "Sanskar Bharati's attempt at Cine Talkies 2024 was originally because when we talk about cinema, we often talk about the release of films, and events about star-studded shows.
Or we talk about award ceremonies, but we never see discussions on cinema." "It must have been done on the street, but we have never seen it on such a large scale and keeping this in mind, Sanskar Bharati decided that it is very important to organize this program called Cine Talkies..
..this year's theme was Woods to Roots.
We have Tollywood, Bollywood Kollywood etc, however, our Indianness is more important," he added. Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar also shared his views in the program 'Cine Srishti: Bhartiya Drishti' organized by Sanskar Bharati. He emphasised the importance of women-centric films and urged that there should be more such movies made in Bollywood.
