Yet the thrill of watching movies on the big screen remains unmatched,& he said in a video message at the closing ceremony of the 25th
Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF).Amitabh continued, "We need to find ways to protect these traditions
I like the idea of pictures first showing in cinema halls, and then, perhaps, going to streaming and other devices
I am a loyalist to that degree.&The Brahmastra actor also talked about the role of cinema in the digital age
&It would be most worthwhile to draw attention to the core fact that films are primarily made for entertainment, drawing large audiences to
the big screen.&He pointed out that digital platforms like Netflix and Amazon are revolutionising the way one watches films, while several
other streaming services are also now available in India.&So what happens next? Can classics like Gone with the Wind or Mughal-e-Azam be
watched on the small screen with the same excitement that had originally made them blockbusters? Can the magic of Satyajit Ray trilogy or
his classic Jalshaghar be captured with the same amount of sensitivity on a small laptop or on a mobile phone?", he
