The panel comprised Vinay Shukla, Saurabh Shukla, Abbas Tyrewala, Sagar Ballary, Dev Benegal and Atul Tiwari. The discussion was moderated by Atul Tiwari, who wrote dialogues for films like Droh Kaal and Mission Kashmir.
Vinay Shukla, writer-director who made Godmother (National Award for Best Feature Film 1999) blamed producers for the sorry state of screenwriting in India today. “Though every producer will tell you that script is the backbone of the film, they want something that is tried and tested.

Mumbai, Oct 19: Director Sagar Ballary has openly attacked film critics after the unflattering reviews of his latest venture 'Hum Tum Aur Shabana'. Some of the reviewers reacted strongly against his tongue lashing.
'I've heard most reviewers are bought over with money. How come no sting operation is done on them? Just because cinema is not a national issue,' Ballary asked.
'I think the current crop of reviewers don't know what they're talking about. Incidentally, nobody dares to talk against a Salman-starrer because he will probably land up at the critic's doorstep,' he lashed.
The filmmaker said none of the reviewers know the art of cinema.
'Most of them get personal and none of them has.
