ARISE,YE PEOPLE TAKE YOUR STAND!

Hi Folks,

How have you been? All buzzing up?! Certainly,if you're not...the world definitely is! This time again, I have some interesting observations to share...which I'm sure many of you would also have noticed and given a thought or two about it...and possibly even prayed about the situation the world is engulfed in at the moment.

The recent exposures of the Scams,Corruption,Political upheavals and Investigative revelations and the subsequent outcry consequent to it; echo a unified voice of the people, which is CHANGE, ACCOUNTABILITY & ORDER OF THE LAND.

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.
