MYTH

Film fascinates me !!! true it recharge a new energy and life , in my veins……now you would ask me,…..whats a big deal in that ? film in Indian is a cult, people talk , breath , sleep , eat it !!!!! then to this, my answer would be………….for me its more than that creating a new caricature in my mind . It surge a world that mould in my imagination and heart , a dream nutured and recreated in the very way the movie move and sway. That’s why I decided to write something which is very close to my heart , FILM especfically Bollywood

Everytime I see it , I feel myself one among the story character….the way things move bound me to fell it , live it nay dazzling my soul with it , have you ever felt while watching a movie from at an edge of your seat……you reckoning hard how it feel being in place of the protagonist , going through its emotions as perfectly and closely as supposedly you playing the part in it ? humming the lyrics and music as though you still hear background score in the backdrop ? Silly !!!! I sound naa but truth lies in all your’s deep skin ………or after the end of the movie analyzing every pros and cons not just the director’s work but also the supposed acts and reacts of the characters by putting yourself in their shoes …….What would I have done ??? if was to be , in her/his place, all you might say that its just a another figment of my imagination then……answer still I feel lie in all our Indian heart…..

I donn’t believe that movies have any language.It wonders me more when , comprehensibilty of my capability is challenged rather crafted , its all in the way one see it through .

Being just a novice in the topic of the conversation , I know I might sound unjustified to lot of people there , but then I still choosed to act on the rajor’s edge of my vexed opinion.I always wonder why Indian cinema is made synonmon to typical BOLLYWOOD masala…….which is all about keeping your brain back home when you wish to watch a hit n successful bollywood masala…with due respect to all those biggies and intellectuals of the film fraternity I completely disagrees to all those who Agrees to it………How can one keep his mind and reasoning out ? when it evokes them most. Movies are the mirror of culture and region it belongs , accepted , but most to the people and society it caters to , I never like those movie which have nothing intense to grip with only those fake fight scenes and to that of pathetic fusion of everthing , from commic , drama , rommance , tragedy , action , not to forget erotica (desperate attempt to coerced in those errotic scene) still in perplexity NOTHING , minimum concrete in nutshell….. Yes , it is one part of the whole enterprise…not…. whole Bollywood itself.

This is Bollywood in which we all have born and brought up in……a Genre that is so typically Indian that willingly or unwillingly no one even dares to copy and cheat….coated in beauty of word ‘inspiration’

With these they say its all about Indian ‘ typical’ cinema . I would say no India had and have plenty of such example to nullify these belief of saying Indian movies especially old and classic cinema to be such….

Classic that is my all time favroriate , a pick out of countless collection , cannalized and illustrating to delve deep into the issue , Do Ankhen Barah Hath by V. Shantram , ultimate wizadry in his domain…the story was not masala as irrespective to what our industry is described in most international forums ,it is a short of parable that revolves around a man who dares to make a change , standing and acting against the wind , one who tries to reform the forbidden six , Prisionors , and eventually edifying Society …..and this is just the tip of an iceberg…..be it Bandini , Do bigha Zameen , Pather Panchali , Pyaasa , Sujata , Mother India …….. and the legendry list could go on and on on……

Because there are abundant example in Indian film cinema to prove that our is Cinema that is territorial venture of amalgamation of expressions that touches and counters across all nations , boundaries , time ,ages ,culture , tradition , religion , beliefs etc . Then why they still say its confined to its conservative style of only dance and music , ofcourse length that is long enough to test your patience……… Nevertheless , if we can appreciate Hollywood with their style syndrome e.g the culture portrayed that is times too raunchy ; captivating it is with script and technology ( but then the answer lies in the fact that Hollywood have backup from very rich economy and funding that opens a new vistas and platform to experiment with new idea ) ; and concepts little alien ; but Indians(especially youth ) love it…….the point that I want to make here is that if we can embrace west with all there imperfections why cann’t they…why this nagging still
exists ??

Time is changing so is movies in India and the League of new breed of Directors who too have braced themselfves for metamorphose and ushering of this change of Indian film industry with more contemporary context (following better say copying Hollywood style )……….BUT then this most popularly used adjective still date ‘Bollywood masala’ , inappropriate which I still feel , is a MYTH that continues to occupy and retain in people minds both in and out of Indian soil.
