New Delhi: His movies aren't about love at first sight or happy endings! The maker of films like "Black Friday", "Gangs Of Wasseypur" and "Ugly", Anurag Kashyap says he fails to fathom the discrimination between "mainstream" and "parallel" cinema.

“I don't understand the whole thing about parallel cinema," Kashyap said here.

The only way he divides films are those "that work" and those that "do not work".
