      Once a film involves satire or attack on Hollywood's production system or star system, it is easy to be praised by Goddard and others, or be rated as one of the top ten films of the year by Bazin.

    • Hrundi V. Bakshi: [referring the elephant Molly brought to The Party] You should be ashamed of yourself.

      Molly Clutterbuck: Why?

      Hrundi V. Bakshi: This is a symbol of my country.

      Molly Clutterbuck: Don't you paint them in India?

      Hrundi V. Bakshi: Yes, but we don't paint slogans all over them. Look, he has got "The World is Flat" on his forehead. "Socrates Eats Hemlock" on the side... And "Go naked" all over his bum.

    • Hrundi V. Bakshi: How would you like it if an Indian person, such as myself, came along and drew a mustache and a beard on your Lady Bird?
