Amitabh Bachchan is quoted as saying<\/a> in the Times of India<\/i>:<\/p>\n India’s economic progress is largely responsible for the Indian films getting recognised abroad. When the economy is doing well, everything connected with the country, its food, culture, colour, art and films get noticed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I have a question: Are<\/i> Indian films getting “recognised abroad?” To the best of my admittedly minuscule knowledge, only the diaspora really cares much for it, and as the diaspora has grown, overseas markets have become prominent. But non-Indians don’t really notice it, and the stories that the international press occasionally does on Bollywood treat it as exotica.<\/p>\n I have another question: Why do Bollywood people crave recognition abroad? Are the millions of Indian who watch their films not validation enough?<\/p>\n\n
