DOTW *South Indian Films and Bollywood* - Page 2

 

I also feel that each movie speaks for itself, based on how the story and characters unfold!  I haven't watched too many movies as of late, but based on what I've seen:

 

Some of the Tamil movies I've watched are of low budget, but honestly loved the way the stories were portrayed, especially in a realistic manner.  On the other hand, some of the hindi movies I watched were taken overseas, but I once again loved them... so in other words, the way in which the story is told (along with the portrayal of the characters) speak volume of the movie, than any other elements...  so to me, both set of movies (south indian films and bollywood) hold special places in my heart for their own reasons  😳. 

 

 

 

As a kid I loved the typical Bollywood stuff and so I loved all the dishum dishum action sequences from South movies but as I grew older I really began to dislike that kind of stuff. I prefer to watch a movie that actually makes sense now and I find often Bollywood makes more movies that are more realistic than South. Someone mentioned low budget movies..even movies like A Wednesday, Dev D, Aamir, Mumbai Meri Jaan etc are low budget yet they manage to do well and attract an audience. Other movies like TZP and 3 Idiots which doesn't include the typical item number still manage to WOW audiences and it shows the way Hindi Cinema is progressing. I guess I'll always love a cheesy and no-sense comedy movie every now and then like golmaal, no entry, hera pheri etc and the rona-dhona big budget Karan Johar movies like KHNH, K3G etc too. 

However I do agree that south actors are more talented in general than bollywood actors. There are very few genuinely talented actors in bollywood. To name a few-aamir khan, irrfan khan and hrithik roshan. South actors are very talented but I really do get quite annoyed with the over-acting or the way they're required to be too bubbly and cheesy.

On a side note, I watched Guzaarish recently and it was set in Goa and I couldn't help but notice how much of the dialogues were in English.😲Of course they were playing Christian characters who in general do speak more english but it still surprised me.

they have their own flavor n i enjoy both...this is in general

but if i go in to deep, i prefer south movies minus the tid bits they add in the movie saying that 'fans need that' 

actors, to be specific , stars in south choose films by their image....than searching for a diff story, they go on search for the factors which would attract their fans n by doing that they end up doing the same re-cycled stuff again n again

now all this is giving scope to actors in south (not jus the stars), for those who want to experiment different stories

if u see closely, both in bolly n south, the low budget movies are more interesting than high budget

we  may enjoy watching high budget movies, but once u come out the theater n think what u have watched, all that u find is sets, graphics, stars with less story

n it's jus opposite with low budget ones...u can story, actors, more close to reality kind of scenes..... or a complete fiction, but still believable

n aftr saying all this, i still say that i prefer south over bolly, but i watch both
