Indian Cinema has come a long way from what it was like back in the 70's and the 80's. I don't follow much of the regional films in our country, so I would stick to the Hindi Film Industry.
Today i see a lot of quality in Hindi Films. I see meaning, freshness, goodwill and everything that I longed for whenever I used to see any hindi movie almost a decade back. To start naming, It would take a lot many years to name all the good movies in Hindi that have come in the recent past. But I'll name a few ( the ones that are on my mind right now.Not necessarily the most favorites.) - Swades, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, 3 Idiots, Luck By Chance, Rock On, etc. What really appeals is the freshness that comes out of these films. There's a sense of postivity. Technically, they are near perfection. One thing that connects all these films is a 'strong' screenplay. (Does not mean a realistic one). The script and the screenplay is very powerful and the most important factor to have made the film a very big success. If you believe it was getting superstars to make it good- JTYJN proved you wrong. If you thought it was realism to have made it good- 3 Idiots proved you wrong. All you need is a strong script and it's equivalent screenplay. Given the dedication and the effort- the film's on it's way to become a very good one.
For all those who believe watching hindi movies is not 'cool' or , speaking about world cinema leaving out your own cinema make you a very good movie buff. Think again, your own country's film scenario has improved substantially (yeah- we still do lack from Hollywood, but that's not something to be sad about). Watching hindi movies has not made you any less cooler. Only neglecting it has.
I sometimes really don't understand when people say -" the film was boring because it was predictable" e.g- Wake up sid. One question-What were you expecting? a thriller?
Sometimes, films are supposed to be taken at face value, not because they don't go deep...but because they make you feel pleasant, and that's why it's so good. Wake up Sid was one of those feel-good films, and that's how you take it. Same goes for 3 Idiots. No point trying to prove your stance right by saying -'how can a dead infant be brought back by saying aal iz well. All you need to have is an open mind and not get confined to think- a movie works only if showcases realism. Sorry. I am not buying that.
Stop being an idiot, and start acknowledging what's right. It's more cool that way! =p
Thanks.
