But, when it comes to cinema, it is the treatment that is the king. I believe, with the right treatment you could even raise mediocre content to brilliant cinema. With 'Eeb Allay Ooo', the story and concept were already good; the treatment just took this film to another level. I hope to garner the same love at Berlin Film festival as we have so far."
