When it comes to the coverage of the 66th Cannes Film Festival starting today, mainstream media outlets’ obsession with celebrities seems to be getting the better of them. Playboy Girl Sherlyn Chopra and Ameesha Patel and the likes are being written about with equal enthusiasm (quite often even higher) than the films and people who will actually represent India at Cannes 2013.

Cannes coverage of the Indian press is as ill-informed and misleading as it’s bizarre. Quite often the most talked about titles are those which don’t even feature in the selection while some have market screenings. It’s obvious that the festival coverage by the Indian mainstream media is driven by ignorance and publicists.

Here are some Cannes headlines from mainstream media:-

Rajinikanth takes Kochadaiyaan to Cannes Film Festival – Hindustran Times

Ameesha Patel’s all set for Cannes outing: The Times of India

Playboy girl Sherlyn Chopra on »
