What should one expect from the writers of 2001?

I see almost every film in my private theatre at home. And I am sorry to say that these young filmmakers are going in for all kinds of modern day technique and equipment and concentrating more on body then soul. If they continue even like this in the year 2001 I feel sad to see a very bleak future for the industry.
Dr. B.R. Chopra, Filmmaker

We have to find good stories. How did we have good, neat and tidy stories in our times. Only great stories written by genuine writers, even if they are young can come up with great ideas which can make great films, great actors, great music directors. The young directors to come I am sorry have no idea that anything purely Indian, then how can they make good films with good Indian stories. Bad stories are certainly going to be the death-knell of the industry. I firmly believe that it is only the good writers who can save this sick industry.

How can you think of a film without a story? How can you create good films without good stories, the very back-bone of every film?
Gulzar, Writer, Poet

I see great hope in young filmmakers like Aditya, Sooraj, Farhan Akhtar, Tanuja Chandra and Meghna Gulzar. I hope they fulfil the need of the our which is good stories with good films.
Prem Sagar, Filmmaker

Story, stories and only stories can help the industry in the time to come nothing else can. We will have to have good writers with genuine ideas if we have to make good films not only in 2001 but also in the future.
