The 400 Blows
————————————————–

Times have changed and changed by a great deal. Today, whatever you may want to do, either you need a backing or jack to be in any part of any organization, cinema is no different.

Yes, there are few cases where will-power exceeds all such evils of new times but in major parts various evils hail. Expecting to get into a production house or a film company easily if he/she has a jack or any kind of support or getting a job of an assistant director or editor or any other aspect of filmmaking after getting a graduate diploma or a degree from a film school is justified but needing a degree or a …

Online Critics Society

The thought having an Online Critics Society came into my mind by looking at the present situation of the Indian Cinema.

Many people might be under the delusion that Indian Cinema has a good reputation outside India,sorry to say that the present Indian Cinema does not have that reputation.

When i was talking to my friend about the Indian Cinema who lives in US i came to know the downfall of standards of Indian Cinema.

Indian had produced some wonderful film makers like Satyajit Ray, Bimal Roy,Shaym Benegal,Guru Dutt,K.vishwanath etc… but do we have any hope of finding film makers mentioned above in the futre? answer is very simple and straight –NO

There are many reasons for this condition of Indian Cinema and one of the reasons is the awards.I feel …

Baazi: A revelation for me!

As I was buying my groceries for the week, I glanced through the DVD collection that the desi store had for rent. I wasn’t expecting to rent anything new and I wanted to get my mind off with some movie that made no sense. So, I picked up Kaafila, yes, the Sunny Deol one that deals with the issue of illegal immigration. Along with that DVD on the rack, I found another DVD which was cheaper to rent and it had two movies Baazi and Patita. I picked that up. I had seen Baazi a long time ago when all I knew was Dev Anand was the hero and I laughed at a few comic situations I could understand. Anyway, I had been wanting to watch this movie since …

MOVIES AND REAL LIFE

Some days back, I saw an interview of Sudhir Mishra on Sahara Filmy by Mayank Shekhar. Mishraji told “Today’s film makers watch movies, not life” They are engaged in watching movies, discussing movies but they do not devote their time to watching, analyzing life. 100% correct.

Some so called biggest filmmakers claim their film’s connectivity to real life. They give very stylish, larger than life films. Making is stylish, larger than life films is not a bad thing. But their films do not connect with common man. Why?

Because…..
- They do not research properly for their films. They do not know minor rules of Indian culture like in Hindus, women do not go to shamshan for Agnisanskar. I have seen in many films by so called biggest filmmakers that women were present in shamshaan in a white cotton sarees.

- Human behavior (physical, mental, biological) is not properly analyzed. …
