If you want to look for meaning in life, go to a meditation app.<\/p>\n<p> Why watch a film?<br \/>\nThe Fifth anniversary of the National Museum of Indian Cinema (NMIC) in Mumbai was graced by the presence of notable dignitaries, including the Consul General of the Republic of Belarus, Aliksandr Matsukou, and Consul of Belarus, Anton Pashkov. The day saw an array of events including a guided tour for visually impaired students from The Happy Home &#038; School for the Blind as well an enriching masterclass by acclaimed director R Balki, in conversation with D Ramakrishnan (GM NFDC).<\/p>\n<p>Following the insightful conversation, cinema enthusiasts enjoyed the screening of R Balki&#8217;s &#8216;Ghoomer\u2019.<br \/>\nThe highlight of the event was Balki\u2019s unabashed take on content clutter, not undermining one\u2019s talent and his penchant for addressing social issues without resorting to social messaging. Over the course of the two-hour session the Cheeni Kum director shared some wonderful insights, funny anecdotes and inspiring words for aspiring actors and filmmakers. Excerpts\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You can\u2019t learn the art of scripting\u2019<br \/>\nI don\u2019t think there is a better film school than going to the set and working with several filmmakers. You learn about life. I was fortunate that I was able to get these experiences, so I didn\u2019t feel the need to do a film school. It\u2019s not that I did it without knowledge, I gained the knowledge. If you can go to a film school, you might probably learn things faster than I did but what you can\u2019t learn is the art of scripting. Scripting doesn\u2019t happen by going to a scripting school because there are a hundredh ways in which you can communicate a story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD, MARCH 05 (ONLINE): R Balki: Terms like \u2018meaningful messaging\u2019 scare me.
