We want box office success, critical acclaim, awards and everything else. But I think when the audience likes a film, that appreciation is far more fulfilling, far more satisfying than any award.

It took me a good two-and-a-half to three years to write 'Dhobi Ghat' and more importantly be satisfied with it.

After my 12th, my parents moved to Bangalore while I moved to Mumbai to study Economics at Sophia College. Much unlike other girls who managed to evade the curfew and organised the slips to get out of college, we would attend college and were interested in academics.

I go to watch the so-called mainstream films for different reasons. I certainly like those films if they are giving me something new to look out for.

Dhobi Ghat' is the only script I actually completed and that I was convinced about wanting to direct.

If I as a filmmaker take a very radical subject, which might not get an audience in the first week, multiplexes wouldn't agree to let it play on their screens.

I was born in Bangalore but grew up in Kolkata and I read, write and speak Bengali.

I was this classic film school snob who thought mainstream cinema was synonymous with bad cinema.

I watch certain kinds of masala films.

Though I adored Delhi, Mumbai was in my veins and I felt connected to this city and had to come back.
