Hi,
In India, blindly following your dream will not help. There are thousands of people struggling in film industry. Many of them are working as assistant directors for 5 to 6 years but still didn't get any break. The problem with film industry is there is no one right way to succeed. You can find 50 people going in 50 different routes. Before taking any risk, first write 2 or 3 full length scripts, again not high-fi ideas like some inception or something. Scripts which actually work well in Indian scenario.It is good if it can be a low budget film. Then take your decision.
Many new cameras are coming to market like GoPro. Keep a note of them. It is possible to produce the movie yourself.
Above all, try to have influential contacts. Otherwise even if you make a movie no one will distribute. Again hundreds of movies are in studios, since no one are interested in releasing them. So good contact is as important as good script. Facebook and Twitter can actually help in finding those contacts. All these things can be done by doing a job also.
After having all right things then you take risk. Risk depends on the confidence you have in your script.
