Ship of Theseus - share this post!

Together, we have proven a point - that Indian audiences are not only ready for, but directly demanding insight, invention, beauty and meaning in their cinema. The need for a robust cultural environment has been vocalised at the box office. It's loud and clear, and has forced a valid response - an expansion of the film's release to more cities. The wall of presumption has been dented, now it needs to come down. Let's not accept anything lesser.

Thanks to you, the film will now release in seventeen new cities next Friday (Surat, Goa, Rajkot, Mangalore, Mysore, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Bhopal, Indore, Nagpur, Raipur, Vizag, Coimbatore, Patna, Jaipur, Trivandrum and Calicut, in addition to the existing nine cities). We need to put in our best to keep this dialogue alive. This is about the survival and growth of all that is relevant to us, culturally.

We are more than just a film now. We don't know if this is going to be seen, in retrospect, as a small step or a giant leap. We do know that this would be seen as an opportunity for a movement - either taken or missed.

We need to come together to evolve a new ecosystem for profound, complex, meaningful, relevant, rigorous, experimenting, inquiring and beautiful cinema to exist and be accessible to each one of us - a privilege we don’t have yet. We can't afford hoardings or TV spots (the ones we have, were offered for free). We will depend on you to carry this further.

If the film has resonated with you, or held any meaning for you, then we request you to volunteer (especially, if you live in any of the cities the film is releasing in).
