Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani delivered a memorable line at IFFI Goa, drawing applause from film lovers and filmmakers alike.

Speaking about the balance between art and commerce in cinema, he remarked, “Feel-good films are good for the heart. Commercial films are good for the pocket.”

His witty yet insightful statement perfectly captured the dual nature of the industry, where emotional storytelling and box-office success often walk hand in hand.

Keeravani, known for his versatility is busy with his new film Varanasi that is being directed by his cousin and star director SS Rajamouli.
