HEROISM in Movies... Still, how looooong ?

How can you watch Movies with the same old heroism for so many years? With Different Hero’s playing the same role? How can one Hero speak the truth and bash up 100 men or more? How long can we watch ageing heroes dancing with 20 0r 30 group dancers and wooing teenage heroines. How long can we watch the same old roles by heroes? Don’t we want to see new innovative scripts, screen plays, different performances like Mozhi, Paruthiveeran, Chennai-28, Kattradhu Tamizh, Veyil, Kaaka Kaaka, Unnaale Unnaale, Autograph, Thavamai Thavamirundhu, Vetayadu Vilayadu.

I agree Cinema is an entertainment medium and it has different faces. Every human has some colorful dreams and fantasies and when some are successful in bringing those dreams & fantasies in screen for people to enjoy, looses the reality & Repeating that in several movies, spoils the total commercial movies trend. Yeah! You can make movies with realities, fantasies, social awareness etc. People in different parts of the world have different taste; practices, choices and you will be an idiot if you say only my taste is THE BEST. I enjoy the masala movies of KS Ravikumar, Rajinikanth, Ajit, and Vijay and at the same time I watch and enjoy the movies of Cheran, Adoor Gobalakrishnan too. You do not have the right to criticize the taste of others. You can criticize the Barathanatyam in terms of Barathanatyam logistics but you can’t criticize Barathanatyam comparing to Kuchupodi. Watch Masala movies as Masala movies and Art films as art films. What matters is the Enjoyment... Entertainment!


I like to clarify that I am not a Tamil movie basher or any other language movies; I do respect all languages & their culture. In fact, I would like to know different kinds of cultures, traditions and practices…. which can only be watched in Movies, That’s the reason why I have started watching all languages & kinds of movies. I just don’t like heroism in all Indian/Hollywood movies without the reality. People call heroism as entertainment and I beg to differ here. What is an entertainment? 1 hero bashing up 100 people coming in trucks with swords? Good movies are Masala movies and Art movies are not entertaining movies. Many good movies have come in Bollywood movies like Chak De, Rang De Basanti, Life in a metro, Guru, Gandhi my father etc. But now a day’s lots of Hindi movies just exploit sex & women, most of the movies releases with 1 or 2 item songs… They just give importance to Glamour, than to the story. Different producers & Directors end up in making cheap sensual movies that tickle audience and fleece their pockets. Many movies are made with the label of art films but actually the producers, as George Orwell comments, ‘exploit white women's legs'. Actors also accepts the weird movie offers to favor the quick source of money. The value of true acting has ebbed out, now what remains is the exposure of flesh.

Thanks to the Directors who has made good enough movies & I... we Still expect more from you Brains !!
