INDIANS' APPROACH TOWARDS CINEMA

INDIANS' APPROACH TOWARDS CINEMA

MOTHER CINEMA!!

India has about 35 language based cinemas. About 17% of the films are produced in each of the top four languages – Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Malayalam. Yet the highest grossing films are produced only in hindi cinema aka bollywood. It's not strange that the bollywood has the most number of movies made, highest gross earnings and the biggest audience due to he fact that the hindi speaking population in india is the highest.  

INDIAN'S APPROACH TOWARDS CINEMA:

What’s questionably strange is the attitude of Indians towards the film industry. In some parts of india the filmstars are even worshiped as gods. The impression of cinema on Indians is highly substantial, which can be seen even in the crimes they commit! Stalking, eve teasing, following women, cutting ones wrists to confess love etc became so common that these acts are not even recognized as an acute crime. You will hear incidents form “a kid jumping off the terrace to act like a superhero krish” to “ bank robbery inspired by the movie Dhoom, and used the same trick of making a hole on the ground floor of the bank during a New Year's event” etc being quite considerate. 

WHERE WE WRONG, FAM?

Funnily, the intolerance is taken on the mainstream stigmas of the society like homosexuality, menstruation, politics, religion, tradition, drugs and many taboos which are in a dying need for change but cannot due to the perception of Indians. While the orthodox and conserved mentality of Indians like the sensitive topics which are a taboo in our country. is significantly embraced. What gets my nerves is that fact that it is the politics oriented set of actions which decides whether the movie will be a hit or a flop .

FORGET GOTHAM! INDIAN CINEMA NEEDS YOU!

It is disappointing how it depends on the big actors working in movie rather than the beauty of its story and perfection of director's work, which decided the future and ranking of the film. For example: movies like “Happy new year” is among the top 5 highest grossing films in india while many people don’t even know the name of “Masaan”.
