Bollywood's showman lives it up at IFFI

Bollywood's showman Subhash Ghai addresses reporters at the IFFI in Goa

Trade pundits may have given a thumbs down to Subash Ghai. But the showman, who is busy promoting his new film 'Yuuvraaj' at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa certainly thinks he's got a hit in his bag.

Unperturbed by his latest flop the showman of Bollywood Subhash Ghai made his presence felt at the ongoing IFFI festival. He said, "The IFFI is a great thing to happen to India. The 39th one is much better than the previous seasons. The state government is taking keen interest in the festival and ensuring that every year promises a new experience."

Critics may have given a thumbs down to his magnum opus 'Yuvvraaj', but Ghai still has his hopes pinned to it. He said, "All my earlier films have been flops for the first couple of weeks. And then they pick up later on. I am not disturbed by the verdict because eventually what matters is the audience. If they feel that there is truth behind the emotions displayed in the movie, they will like and accept the same."

With a string of flops in the recent past Ghai seems to have lost the plot. The next couple of weeks though will prove an acid test for the filmmaker and his his latest offering.
