marketing and popular cinema
well.. do u really think no hollywood movie gets rejected …. think again my friend… i m not saying all movies should be made for masses.. but if somebody makes and people likes it.. we need to develop an attitude for appreciating them..sometimes i really wonder why so called intellectual people like you never appreciate popular cinema. as far as the marketing is concerned, my dear friend marketing oppurtunities in india and U.S. are totally different. here u need to do a bit of economic theories.. when ur budget is 30 cr ( which includes marketing as well)..if i go by venkat’s 60% theory u will have just 12 cr to make a movie.. now think wat will be the quality.. i kno u must be thinking we shld increase the budget..but how u gonna do it? this very attitude of neglecting popular cinema and sticking only to art movie will not help the cause… simple economics says until and unless there is some incentive( profit) nobody will be willing to invest in this industry..(bollywood).. when u dont have money to make quality movie( technically sound …)and u are not getting it from outside..how u gonna make it better… we all know popular cinema yields profit..so this will be the area where investors will be interested in and once u get the infrastructure you will have freedom to experiment more and more… this would be the betterment for both popular and art movies…. i m giving you one example.. u must have heard of a mmovie called ” rok sako to rok lo”. this movie was made by a so called mamagementt guru… he tried his best but movie failed and it failed big time.. so even if u spend 80% on the marketing.. this will not help the cause….hope this time i am not contradicting myself …

Film making in India
even though bollywood is the biggest film industry in the world, we still havent gotten film making and its various aspects as a carrer choice!
should we be more respectful to this mega industry! i mean how many of us actually think that someday we can be directors, or editor or something like that!

well its a complex situation really. indian films are made for the masses - that is why we have films with atrocious storylines…
So even if u make a good film, who is going to watch it really?
Ofcoruse now niche films are made for the so called urban audiences.
but if u see the recent trend, silly storylines dont really hit home any more, most hindi films flop, coz people dont like such stupid films, look at hum ko deewana kar gaya, or any such film,
people these days want some intelligence , and most importantly, WELL made films, heck rakesh roshan sold a alien to indian masses and we bought it! but some people cant even hold us for 2 hours with a lovers story angle!

Saawariya fever soaring in UK
The music CD’s of Saawariya hit the UK stores just last week on September 24 and look what’s happening? The music is creating quite a bit of buzz among the locals living in London. Chirag from Tip Top Entertainment in Wembley says, “This is a rare scenario and within a month, Saawariya has come as a blessing in disguise. We have started getting phone calls to book the CD’s in advance. Now just imagine; advance booking was only heard of in cinemas… Saawariya has changed that.”

Making a movie is associated with earning profits

Making a movie is associated with earning profits. And when you make a multi starrer movie (which is a must for giving justice to many characters of MBH) you need to have a big pocket. At the end where will you earn back that all?

I am not sure how much a movie on MBH will be sold with all the magic and super natural things associated with it. It will be tough to explain it to international audience.

Further consider that around 20% - 25% of Indian Population (on whom the movie will depend in absence of global viewers) are non - Hindus which may not prefer watching movies based on Hindu epics. Which again is a set back.

Lastly it is extremely difficult to catch entire MBH in one movie (Ramayana is possible). Other topics may not be so interesting fro anyone. So all in all it is a hardship to produce a movie based on Indian epics.

Even in troy they have taken many liberties. The movie is a way different to the epic.

Mahabharat and Indian Cinema

In fact many of the early movies in bolywood consisted stories from our epics. Epic stories were also responsible for growth of movie industry after independence.

Since it makes the stories from the epics more personal. Although Br Chopra did lot of mistakes in portraying mahabharat but the very fact that he produced mahabharat , made it more personal and lively rather than reading it like a story in books.

I agree with you. However , the impact of Ramayana and Mahabharata has been different in different film industry. I would say that , the impact has been more in case p
of South Indian cinema than in the case of Bollywood.
And telugu Industry produced highest number of films related ramayana/Mahabharata/puanas. And the credit goes to late Shri NTR, who is best suited to the role of Shri Krishna. When the NTR plays the role of SriKrishna, we feel that Sri Krishna himself is playing the role and not NTR !!

And from the story point of view, probably in most cases, the least importance is given to authenticity. And as we all know, the movies are made for attracting more people, they are influenced by the local culture and local version of the stories.

Walt Disney animated classics
Ok this thread is for those of us who are still children at heart (or maybe still underage!!). Anybody like Walt Disney classics like Jungle Book, Snow white and the seven dwarfs, Beauty and the beast, Pinnochio, etc?? My fav of all is Beauty and the beast bcoz the original story is so drab and Disney reinvented it so beautifully. Also, I want some feedback on Sleeping beauty…i have hrd some people say itz the best Walt Disney classic, but want some positive/negative critique bfor I ‘waste’ money on a CD.

behavior ,and more attrctive s ramya.. the songs , direction screenplay, dialogues … everything is good except his face.. i really hate his face…..

very good movie, but two bad points one is not needed character of small boy ( anu prabhakar’s house owner ) and his ugly way of calling elder girls darling and second is not good music, but sudeep acting is top class and natural
