BERLIN: The pure misconception in the global circuit that Indian films are mostly a song-and-dance routine hinders their growth internationally according to filmmaker and director Karan Johar. Citing examples of acclaimed movies such as Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, PadMan and Bareilly Ki Barfi, the 45-year-old filmmaker said that Indian films have much more to offer than the “cliched sequences”. “I feel very sad when I still see people across the globe having this misconception about Indian cinema that it is all about song and dance. Karan, who is currently in Berlin to attend Berlinale 2018, further said, “India cinema is a victim of misconceptions on global stage. All I am doing as a producer is looking at films which have world language.
