I have been watching movies ever since I started identifying the faces. People say, Movies create destructive thoughts and where as Books create constructive thoughts in human brain. I don’t know how does it work with others, but for me both are sources of inspiration and knowledge.I don’t deny the entertainment part of it.But, it doesn’t come under top priority. If it is a movie worth watching, language is not a bar.

Here are some of those movies which I really wanted to mention for more than one reason. These are more than characters in Western Cinema. These are the inspirations. These personalities project their culture to the world.Most importantly, they have positive things to show to the world.

Homer Hickam in October Sky.
Howard Hughes in The Aviator.
John Forbes Nash, Jr in A Beautiful Mind.
Ray Charles in Ray.
Malcom X in Malcom X.
Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List.
Jake Lamotta in Raging Bull.
Frank Serpico in Serpico.
Che Guevara in Motorcycle Diaries.

Now, Lets look at our cinema. We have seen Bhagath Singh and Netaji Subhash Chandra bose on screen. Thanks to Mr.Richard Attenborough for the movie Gandhi. I don’t remember any other movie made on real life character. If at all made, it wouldn't been successful. Have we ever tried to ask why? Why art movies are made only for awards? Before the next generation wonder who is Dadabhai Naoroji somebody should at least make a documentary about'The grand old man of India'.Is our own Dhyan Chand is any lesser than Jake Lamotta?In 1936 summer Olympics, Impressed by his performance, Adolf Hitler supposedly offered to make Dhyan Chand a Field Marshal in the German army, but the latter refused. (From wiki) Don’t you think there should be a movie made on this person which may inspire coming generation?. Why not a motion picture on Bharat Ratna, India's Missile Man Dr.Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam

This is the time we should stop being hypocrites. Why can’t we get inspired by best things from the west? We hardly realize our own strength. We are still crying about our culture, ethnicity. Have we learned anything from it? What do we have today in Cinema? In the name of reality, creating more problems, controversies. In the name of comedy, badly ripped B grade cinema from west.Producers are out to make money and audiences are taken for granted.

I agree we have problems. But, Let the related people to solve it. Bring some positive energy in country. Inspire people to be good. Mr.Naseeruddin Shah says a line in a movie ‘A Wednesday’, “we are resilient by force but not by choice”. Now we have choice to make things right.May be this is a part of it too.This is the time we should proud about our own country.

"Bollywood" is one of those sarcastic words which is coined by westerns to anticipate Indian Cinema. But Bollywood is not a complete Indian Cinema and We hardly agree. Bollywood is one media which sells dreams in India. Bollywood is colorful, exciting and it fascinates!!

Indian Cinema which includes all the regional Languages has stopped making movies for Indian Audience. Especially, the Hindi Movie Industry. They shoot in abroad, they have World Premiere for the release in London and finally they make movies for foreign audience. You gotta actors in Bollywood they make any shit look good!! Kudos as they live with it. I agree, Bollywood is one of those major industries in India which pays huge amount of taxes towards the government which finally hogged by our own 'babus'. But how this is helping us?? Any idea??

Indian media seems to be more obsessive towards film personalities. Paparazzi mania is all the way to India??? Now every news channel has its dedicated hours for all these Entertainment news and We really cant complaint about it. More than 40 news channels and tough competition on board and we can understand.

Crores on Filmfare functions, Brutal bidding by channels and at the end of the day, Thanks to Directors,Producers,people sitting inside air conditioned auditorium and Family!! What about 'Vada Pav' gaadiwaala who chip in his half day income for success of this movie which is far far away from the term 'Logic'???.Obviously!! you will ask, if its illogical, then why did he watch the movie??..and I think you are right hmm.. that’s how we are!.Fools??Nah!!!pretty lamentable word..he he

Media Deliberately breaking India into two parts and we are just not bothered about it. Because we dont think so. We have North Indian News, News from South, Hindi Movies and South India Masala!!!. It got all the advertisement columns for Hindi movies in national news channels. But, why not for other movies??.Its just money matters!! For masala movie, producers may line up and at the same time a talented director will beg for his Art movie to come up, which talks about reality!!.

I agree, we are growing, One gigantic spider spreading its web all over the world. Hope we don’t kill ourselves in our own web. Just like a spider !!!
