OF TOM CRUISE, M:I - GHOST PROTOCOL & FILMS TO WATCH OUT FOR IN 2012

Hey Everybody,

How are you doing? Welcome to the New Year!! How did the celebrations go? Had some fun? Do tell us...I'd definitely like to know from all of you on what 'celebration' means to you and how each one of you defines it. Spare a thought for a moment, if we begin this new year on a spiritual note and believe that each day of our life is a gift from God and a moment of celebration, love and gratitude...then probably we wouldn't have the onuses of certain days of the year to remind us of it all!



Mission India...Mission Accomplished!



Anyway...let's get on with some more updates from our end. Remember in our last month's posting we mentioned of Tom Cruise's visit to India for the promotions of his film Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol and a special fan screening that took place in Mumbai,India and how it might have been a missed chance for his fans (including us!) when they weren't among the lucky few to be invited for the red carpet premiere...Anyway...Tom Cruise made it up for us..nope not in person but on twitter! But we sure hope to meet him though! :-)

COPY THAT...HOWZZZAT!

What’s original these days? Nothing really...take Bollywood for that matter! LIFTING, COPYING, INSPIRATION,REMAKE,PLAGIARISM or IMITATION (Yes in ALL CAPS) are all the same as far as Hindi films are concerned and yet we feel offended and find it derogatory if our industry is referred to as Bollywood, but we don’t give a damn or even seem to care the least if we are constantly lifting content for films from our Western counterparts...now that’s the limit! Where’s the quality and what’s original these days?? Take our shoddily edited and produced animation films,in terms of quality, storyboard and treatment....can we confidently compare it to an Avatar or a Toy Story? We talk of stars remuneration running into 15-20 crores per film (surely the budget of the film has to be even more!) and yet we we don’t have the budget to think out of the box in terms of originality be it in terms of our story, scripting, treatment and even our production values! Pity! And about the casting the less said the better! I will discuss more about it later in this article. By now you must be wondering where is my rambling in this month’s posting ultimately leading you too....Well let’s get back to the start of start.
