Bhatt on Bollywood

Mahesh Bhatt to Karan Thapar in an India Today TV Interview: ‘We make two kinds of films; to comfort the jolted, and to jolt the comforted- for the jolted it is an ice pack and painkiller, and for the rich, pain is an aphrodisiac’ in response to a question on whether cinema is for changing the world.

And

‘We are not in the truth peddling business, we are in the illusion manufacturing business’

No one articulates it better than Mr Bhatt; the provocateur exemplar.
