This quote by Marco Tempest the magician and illusionist:
We willingly enter fictional worlds where we cheer our heroes and cry for friends we never had.” sums up the passion of Indians for films doesn't it? Jai and Veeru of Sholay are as real to us as our friends. Maybe Veeru still lives somewhere in Rampur with Basanti? Surely there must be a memorial dedicated to Bhuvan in Champaner? Kabir Khan of Chak de India and Silk Smitha of Dirty Picture are better known then their real-life counterparts.
Do we Indians cheer and cry more for our fictional heroes than our real life ones?

This are deeply personal musings. If these resonate within you say so.
