All such antics are done to get good moola.. our exotica tribal Nagas are also on show there.The west enjoys our cultural trivia like this...D. Goel

It is unfortunate because the reporters know cannes festivals these days because commercial movies of Shahrukh or Hrithik gets entry to Cannes these days..
Once upon a time there were masterpieces of Indian cinema that were screened in Cannes.To name some of those great directors: Satyajit Ray,A. Gopalakrishnan,Aravindan,Dr. Saikia,Jahnu Barua,Mrinal Sen,Ritwik Ghatak,Shyam Benegal,etc.
