    This is why I love FC so much. They truly appreciate cinema and the craft that goes behind making a film.
    Also, the popular CZcams channel CineFix made a video where they discussed the 10 most revolutionary cinematographers which includes the likes of Roger Deakins, Sven Nykvist & Vittorio Stottaro and there they made a special mention for Santosh Sivan. I was so happy to see that his talent was recognized internationally even to some extent ❤😊

At the same time I will still respect somebody like Santhosh Sivan giving an interview here, I am not going to type something irrelevant to poke fun on somebody else. That is the job of you people. You all think that you are intellectually superior to us but the truth is you all are so deluded and attracted to these people that you can't accept any criticism thrown towards them.
