that the many equal or better movies in various Indian languages like Hindi, Marati, Gujerati, Tamil, Malayalam et al cannot get the exposure that a few Bengali movies got. Sathyajit Ray was very fortunate.

PS
Some Hindi commercial movies got more than their share in Soviet Union in the 50s. Raj Kapoor and family are an all time favorite there in Russia even now, I hear.

...many Russians will recognize the Kapoor name... their movie culture is non-existent, about the best they can do is watching Russian crime series and plus some voice-over Western ones. A visit to their "Movies" forum can be painful experience in hopelessness.

This is very different from the vibrant culture that existed some 50 years ago. It is all gone now.
