Gulzar and Rajeev Masand celebrate success of Bhavani Iyer's debut novel 'Anon', in Mumbai

From the archive record

Gulzar was in conversation with film critic Rajeev Masand at the success event of Bhavani Iyer's debut novel Anon on October 9 in Mumbai. "Cinema has spared you for not putting that mirror in front of you where an 8-year-old girl is gang raped. Thank God. But beware, cinema has started reflecting every part of your life today. They are no more narrating bedtime stories," Gulzar said. The writer said it is wrong to look at films as something which is going to teach morals to the audiences. "Cinema is not Bible writing. It doesn't teach you morals, good values to live. Cinema is not meant for that. If you're looking at cinema that it'll tell you good values then you're mistaken. It's not Bible" he added.
