Conceding that he was not a regular movie-goer, he did say that wherever in the world he has gone, he has seen the Indian film industry making its presence felt. “From the islands of th e Pacific to those of the Atlantic, from the southernmost tip of Africa to icy deserts of Siberia, from the towns of West Africa to the cities of East Asia, from the suburbs of North America to villages across Asia — around the world, across the globe, the sun never sets on Indian films.
