Meaningful Cinema...

Hi frnds.... Its just in trepidation of the boring holidays which forced me to return so early to the bloggin world again... I m pretty bad at regularity u see... but newayz... being at home means watching a lot of bullshit channels... but poor me there seems to be no other way to pass time... Newayz I was just peeping thru the mornin newspaper ( which is infact not mornin for me coz I wake up at 12 in the noon these days... ) nd just saw sm snapshot of the 07 movies ... well we do had some meaningful cinema this year... Chak de India.. left a milestone for sure which was not only a masala movie.. but it was a bull's eye hit in percolating the message of diminishing hockey standards... male chauvinism as well as more nd more attention towards cricket... The only people earning money in TV commercials are either Filmstars or cricketers... what a shit!... I hope the team do well in the upcomin australian tour post their ramp walks nd TV shows.... Whereas Shootout at Lokhandwaala .. peeped deeper into the real happenings of the Mumbai police and their operations ... it also exposed the more vexed part of Bombay's underworld.... Recently released Goal... tried to repeat the success of CDI on box boffice... I have no idea how that movie fared but it also left a message regarding the sports other than cricket which are becomin... bhooli bisre khel.. under the strong presence of cricket in India... And here comes Taare Zameen par... now hats off to Aamir for his directorial debut with movie based on auch a subject... he could also have gone for a full fledged masala movie in likes of Farha khan... Farhan Akhtar or Kunal Kohli.... the movie prompted with a message that " Every child is special"... nd indeed thts true to its core... Well masala movies will alwayz have their place in indian cinema coz at the end of the day or perhaps a week ... wat we really want is a rib tickling comedy which can enthrall us for sometime... which can wipe out all the lines of hypertension from our face and bring the million dollar smile back to our face... but still meaningful cinema is needed... coz I thnk tht indian audience hav come a long way thru nd the success of movies like CDI clearly indiactes the same.... Now tht reminds me of Lage raho munnabhai... a great comedy with a great message... Its high time boss... grow up indian film-makers.. its crct tht u r in the buzz to make money... but takin into account the limelight and the hullabaloo of media .. the responsibility increases manifold.... Rmbr the spidey msg
"With great powers comes great responsibility"
