Attack Them, When They Are Down

Manish Jha made his name after he got acclaim at Cannes for a short film called A very very silent film. It has a woman so poor she lives on the pavement. She covers herself with a gunni [sic] bag in which she collects garbage in the day. That whole night men keep coming inside the gunni [sic] bag seeing a lonely woman and keep raping her. Sometime in the morning one of the men discovers she is dead. He goes his own way, and a local constable seeing a lonely woman comes and rapes her not knowing she is dead.

Suparn Verma at Passion For Cinema uses the above analogy to demonstrate how the same filmmakers who are savagely trashed on all counts when they deliver a box office dud, are praised to high heavens when they deliver a hit. [Caution: Post contains profanity]
