Discussion on Odia Culture and Cinema

I'm surprised at what's happened to Odia people.

I'm not saying you shouldn't do things from outside. But you

follow outsiders a little too much, don't you?

Caught up in trends, holding two sticks, Odia

people are doing dandiya. Even Gujaratis don't do it this much,

even though dandiya and garba are their culture.

In Odisha, it's Puja, sir, not Pujo. In Odisha,

it's not Navratri, it's Shola Puja, sir. Odisha's

people take pride in not speaking Odia.

Saying, "I don't watch Odia films," becomes their trend.

Odia people should be a little ashamed. Their own

culture and their own language should be loved a little more.

You'll see Bengalis wearing white-and-red saris. Odia

people see them and wear white-and-red saris and have started applying sindoor.

We don't like our own things, but other

neighboring people's whatever
