...more than a little ironic that the UC is surviving on the ill-gotten gains of its past fiscal mismanagement while fighting—with much fanfare—the College’s demands that it better audit its finances.

To try to assure profits, underworld backers insisted on tried-and-tested formulas. But with liberalization of the economy, producers now have legitimate means of raising film finance; big production houses such as UTV and Adlabs have recently raised money by listing on the stock exchange and some producers...
