You know, yaar, I was watching *Umrao Jaan* again last night on Doordarshan — the old one, not that new-fangled version — and I caught myself arguing with the television like a madman. Here they talk about French films and art et essai, but I say a story of loss and dignity doesn't need subtitles; it just needs a woman who can sing a thumri and make you forget your own daughter's college fees for three hours. Bas, that's the real cinema.
