People from south be it commoners or celebrities often feel that North differentiates between them and insults them to the core. Long time back snaps of South languages ignored when PM Modi inaugurated Statue of Unity, Freedom Fighter Sardar Vallabhai Patel in Gujarat went viral. However later they were proved wrong.
Now, Tollywood is feeling insulted as many of its stalwarts went missing when PM Modi inaugurated the National Museum of Indian Cinema in Mumbai. This is India's first and only film museum.
While legends like NTR, ANR and Krishna are given due recognition, Chiranjeevi was not seen in the museum. Similarly classics like Mayabazar, Devadas, Shankarabharanam, Andala Ramudu and Prasthanam are represented but the blockbusters like Shiva and Baahubali went missing. What hurt the feelings of Tollywood is Ra.One and Robo were highlighted as the films which set benchmarks in VFX.
The National Museum Of Indian Cinema (NMIC) is open for all during 10AM to 5PM and ticket is priced Rs 50 per head. It is managed by Films Division and is established in two buildings (Glass, Vintage) is about the history and evolution of Indian Cinema.
