i am missing saawariya hype and craze and ws bored this afternoon so i ws just writing down something and it is dedicated to my most fav director SLB!
WEN WE THINK OF SAAWARIYA, the first thing that comes to my mind is SLB! I knw we r sona-bir fans bt if it this movie was not directed by SLB i bet yu all we wud hav noticed our two cuties!!!and wudnt hav gone nuts abt them! it is all becoz of the todays finest filmmaker SLB that we got our sona-bir!!!and saawairya!
nw why i am writing this all of sudden? well i am bored!!
wat is cinema? wat r movies ? is cinema only the means of entertainment?? if entertainemnt was the soul motive then we hav daily sopas , sports and outings to entertain us!!
for me movies hav got completely diffent meaning for me movies are the source through which we land up into some diffent world!!
now different world can hav many interpretations!movies r not only about making ppl laugh or cry or fall in love!! movies r the source through wich we exchange our culture we see literature and we spread our messages!
now what do i mean by seeing literature/>?we how the visual medium came up!! earlier it was al writing and ppl started enacting the stories written and thats how the wholw visual medium came up!! ppl wanted to interpretate wats written through their own body language! so movies r the medium through which we see literature!
i am bengali girl and being bengali i read so many gr88 literature works by rabindranath tagore , sharath chandra chattapadhyay , bankim chandra . etc .. and i know even in hindi , urdu , tamil telugu , malayalam , kannada , marathi , gujrati punjabi sanskrit we hav brilliant works!! and since english is our global language we hav so much literature all around!! we need to explore them , we need to understand those timeless works, we need to interpretate them in our own ways and we need to potray then , then only we can feel , we can know the depth of culture around us!!
it ws during 1950s and 1960s when we used to find some gr88 piece of work by directors like hrithik ghatak , satyajit ray and they used to explore the outstading work in literature and made landmarks in movie world!!
from 1970s the scenario changed a lot and till 1990s we got gr88 movies bt they were just to make us laugh , cry or fall in love!! they never contributed to the cinemas culture...1990s and til dat we got to see gr88 movies bt literature is missing!!
where is the exchange of thoughts? where si the inspiration.. all these years we hav got may b 5-6 work on literature!!
movies r the way by which yu earch ur entity , ur soul , it enriches society with new thots and brings new dawn !!!
wat sort of contribution does these masala flicks do ? do they enrich culture ? do they provide new values??? new thoughts and new inputs??
nooo!!
and the only director at present who dares to make litreature based movies is SLB!!
he is all class, he is the one who brought new dimensions in hindi movie!!
his movies r open to any kind of interpretation , and wat literature is all abt!!
i know many ppl do not like his movies! why? becoz his movies are much " AHEAD OF TIME"
his khamoshi ws a masterpiece and it shud hav been releaased now!!ppl then cudnt reach the point of intellectuality he had , and i think now audience wud hav appreciated!!
eg: RD BURMAN , used to compose music and used to come up with various type of experimental work , and no body used to like it then soo much(i am not talkin abt pure melody)ppl were confused wat he is upto?? where as today his music is chersihed andhe is known to b the most versatile music director! yes his music was " AHEAD OF TIME"
THE GR88 MOVIE " DO BIGHA ZAMEEN " was flop , bt now considered to b landmark movie .. and that movie ws also much ahead of time!!
movies made by satyajit roy r all ahead of time movies
my father was telling me few days back that wen he was in college he went to see a movie , i dnt remember wat movie he ws talking abt ! he was unable to get any head or tail of the movei then!!! bt wen he sees the movie now he undertsands the intellectuality of the movie!!
these were all ahead of time work!!!
another thing when some1 tries to break convetional norm, and cum up with something different , it is never accepted . ppl criticise for not undertsanding or for not liking it!! they cannot stretch their brain or intellectuality to that extent!!
anything that hs new ideas and ahead of time movies r never appreciated!!wat is felt to b crap rite now becums a legendary piece of work 20 yrs aftr!!
so why i wrote the whole thng?? i think saawariya is a movie much ahead of time! may b it wil find its acceptance 10 yrs aftr ... saawariya now might luk unconvincing for some ppl , and gr88 for some others , bt saawariya is beyond that!!!it is ahead of time , apath breaking , unconventional movie, a new horizon , to hindi movies, a new try , a new way of story telling ................
and may b the flaws that we r finding today aftr 10 yrs may b the biggest assets in the movie!!
saawariya is kinda movie hich wil never be accepted worldwide , that too so ahead of time!!
bt in future , i feel this movie wil b there , named among classics of hindi movie , and wil b considered a path breaking movie!!!
and i seriously thank SLB , not to fear the world , not to fear politics , or criticism .. he shud explore new things , nd make movies which needs soul searching!!
and i want him to work on the gr888 novels and short stories of hindi , bengali , etc etc and also english and he is the only person who has the vision to do so!!!!so has the power to interpretate the evergreen writings and make movies out of it!!!
if a movie cannot enrich soul , inspire lide and bring new things , then it si not a movie!!!it shud hav contribution to our culture and society!!
SLB yu rock! god bless yu!!
