<span class=normal> Talking about the auction and Indian cinema, Founder Chairman, Neville Tuli says, After eleven years of hard work by Osians, India can proudly say it has the basis of an international standard market for its cinematic heritage, hereafter no one will dismiss these items as raddi (garbage). They are collectibles and they have significant financial value. Though there is still a significant distance to cover for an in-depth market to emerge and hundreds of galleries and dealers to surface in a legitimate manner. He added that the film fraternity now feels a sense of respect for its cinematic heritage and the growth will be exponential and hopefully the task of preserving our cinematic heritage will be somewhat easier. </span>
