Maria Giovanna about Non-Desi Audience at Rediff

Have you read it? No? Then -read it - its interesting.

What Do you think? Are there many Non-Desi people watching Bollywood & Co.? And, one more important point of view: Is there cultural mix between desi ones and others? Or do both parts stay alone without connecting to each other by the same passion? For me, living in rural germany there is no chance to get many contacts to a desi audience - there is none. No indian store, the next indian restaurant far away (but worth the way) and so on. So no discussions about movies with insiders by origin.
Should Bollywood try to get non-desi audiences? Should they try to make movies interesting for non-desi audiences? In a world the movie income overseas become more and more important that looks interesting. But - will we love such movies made for us?
