Bollywood is a land of dreams. Many flock to the industry in the pursuit of fulfilling their dreams. The films churned out by the industry often have a direct or indirect effect on us. Sometimes they mirror our lives, sometimes they teach us a lesson or two. Good or bad; Bollywood films are here to stay.
Bollywood films are usually associated with the usual share of song and dance, melodrama, the colorful dresses, the jhatkas and matkas. But slowly, the filmakers are stepping outside their comfort zones. They are experimenting with the characters, script, treatment of the film, music, lyrics and various other aspects that arte eccentric for a film. And the credit goes to the New-Age audience as well. Today, people refuse to see trash. They want a re3alistic and meaningful film, in return for the money that they pay for the tickets.
Films like Rang De Basanti, Lakshya, Chak De India etc. not just entertain but influence also. India is a land of cimema; where cine-actors are not just awed but worshipped as well. Cimema is in our blood. So, naturally, what we see on screen is what we see around us.
Realistic Cinema does not imply non-glamorous actors, a hardliner story, slow dialogues and a drab cinematography. It is being redifined with films like DevD, Bheja Fry, My Brother Nikhil etc. The young film makers today have the guts to portray issues that were undwer the closet in the past on scrren. Thwere are filmson HIV AIDS,sexual abuse, dyslexia, the complexities of youth, feminine issues. And people can feel the connection with these issues as they might be either dabbling with or facing these situations.
Cinema is an extension of what we feel or think about . Thus, it should be as real as possible.
