Has patriotism been diluted in the films being made nowadays?Bollywood filmmakers admit high-voltage patriotic movies like "Purab Aur Paschim" are no longer being made, but insist they haven't stopped visiting the theme even though the numbers have come down.

"I don't think filmmakers are not interested...at least after what 'Rang De Basanti' did. It created a kind of revolution in portraying anger and love, and proved that young India could love a patriotic film," Madhur Bhandarkar said.
