Guneet Monga Kapoor Advocates for Rooted Indian Films
Guneet Monga Kapoor, a famous movie producer, thinks Indian movies should tell more stories about real life and culture.
She says these kinds of movies can do well all over the world.
She also talked about a movie called 'Homebound,' which is India's official entry for the Oscars.
This movie has been shown at big film festivals like Cannes and Toronto, and a very famous director, Martin Scorsese, is presenting it.
Guneet believes 'Homebound' and other movies like 'Kantara' and 'Manjummel Boys' can do really well outside India because they are deeply connected to their roots.
The 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) is happening in Goa, where many movies from different countries are being shown.
Guneet Monga Kapoor advocates for more rooted Indian films to appeal globally.
She praises 'Homebound,' India's official Oscar entry, which has been featured at Cannes and Toronto.
