‘In Hindi they can only remake such ideas’
Anurag seemed sad at the state of affairs in Bollywood when he left a review for Manjummel Boys on Letterboxd. He wrote, “Simply extraordinary piece of confident mainstream filmmaking. So much better than all the big budget filmmaking in india. Such confidence, such impossible storytelling. I was wondering how does one even sell this idea to a producer. In Hindi they can only do remakes of such ideas. Hindi cinema really is so far left behind with three back to back brilliant Malayalam films. (sic)”
