“I think it’s really nice that it will open doors for people to understand that there is a lot of visual appeal to India. I hear a lot of people saying that India has been shown in bad light.

“Milk deserves best picture on it’s own, but the fact that it’s “owed” to some extent only helps its case! I think penn will take actor too…. (and he deserves it!) Go Milk!
