The Bengal Issue
For several months, I classed my DVDs from India as Hindi, as that is the main language spoken. I recently found, I have several from other regions, such as Bengal, Punjab, and Tamil.
Last year, I paid for a surprise pack of Bengal DVDs from a seller on eBay. Surprise is the word, on opening the package, I noticed a film from Spain, and one from Russia. The seller had no idea I'd been to Russia so I could spot Coptic writing.
The movie I am selling - Bibhas - is from Bengal.
I don't check to see which region a film comes from, that is not of interest to me; I've seen some lousy films from Mumbai, and some good ones from Chennai. The cast matters, and so does the story.
