Insensible scripts or insensible we!!!

Younger generation is basically a group excited about cinema. Be it off-screen, onscreen or mere viewership. I am a viewer but not a mere one. I do have opinions and suggestions regarding the movies I watch. As far as I know, there are 3 kinds of movie lovers. One, who believes cinema, is just a time pass and entertainment. If a movie entertains, it’s a good one. No matter, if it’s full of masala mix, unrealism and superhuman kind. Two, who thinks cinema, is a great medium to showcase sensible social issues (an eye opener). Three, who feels films, have to be sensibly entertaining. I am the 2nd kind and sometimes the 3rd. A sensible movie, but entertaining enough deserves a pat on the shoulder.

Ok let me try to tell you what a sensible movie is. Sensible movies which have a good storyline that is simple, realistic and natural (may or may not have executed well), movies concentrating on burning social issues and leaves out a strong message, a real life story could make a sensible movie, stories with which an ordinary man can identify himself. These are few kinds of movies which I will call sensible. I hope I am clear now.

Good stories or movies do not necessarily need a super star to make it a great visual feast. Actors are just a medium/ mediators to convey messages to a mass audience. But, yes, all cannot be good mediators. It definitely needs talent.

When film industries in different languages are moving forward in quality, Mollywood is reversing. Sometimes we become nostalgic thinking about the Golden times of Malayalam cinema and today it remains as a cherished moment. As Stardom is much in the limelight than ever before, Malayalam cinema is losing its quality and image.

Malayalam cinema cannot afford big budgets. Even then call sheets are only for superstars, no matter what the budget is, no matter if the character suits them or not.

I have no intention to change anyone’s attitudes because different people have different interests. But for the attention of die hard fans of superstars, there are Malayalam movies which are sensible enough having lots to speak, but it lingers neither in the ears of the viewers nor in the DTS theatres. This is highly disappointing. Good films become commercial dumb, but get nominated for highly reputed awards and honours, state wise or nation wise. And absolutely dumb movies give the theatres housefulls and big turnovers to the producers. Where the country recognises, people don’t appreciate. Who is sensible here?

IPL; most glamorous, most rated: making the biggest fools out of its audience

Scheduled at the right time in March, IPL was the perfect distraction for students during their exam time. The much hyped IPL was full of irregularities and corruption when it was becoming an international victory. But the question remains. What was successful in IPL? That it became a Brand or that it brought in a huge monetary benefit to the country? Whatever it is, the whole system is going to roll in the same unfair way again. The rich becomes richer and the money that comes in is not going to be used for the benefit of the poor or it is not going to be a solution for any of the minor-major problems faced by the country. If a nation gets a monetary benefit; it is well used when the money goes in for the development of the nation.

Why is IPL so hyped when it’s just another cricket tournament? The answer must be simple. IPL has glamour, fashion, celebrity presence and most importantly affluence. Yes. Affluent is the word that the elite class is crazy about.

There has been a good cause when IPL started off. In 2007, IPL gave funds to NGO’s and provided scholarships for the education of the poor and underprivileged. That purpose has been shot out of the boundary. The only purpose remaining is digging up more money through dirty means.

Let me be frank. The only responsible part of all this ugly game is none other than WE, the audience who remains mere spectators and promotes the game. The reason: We want just entertainment and the other things are not a matter of our concern.

The Communism in India NOW!!!

Communism is the party of youth today. Communism used to be a party for the people. When it started in India, the believers of communism, the communists, had certain principles on which they led their lives. Communists lived for the betterment of people; they struggled and fought for the farmers. They never wanted money for themselves, they were never materialistic. As time passed and as the world changed, communism took a new approach which became quite contradictory and can never be a part of the real communism. When they call themselves communists, they are getting anti-communists. They look for financial benefits when their aim is to help others out in public. Communism and luxury never went along since its inception. But today when they say against luxury, westernization and technology, they own BMW and iphones.

Time changes everything and in this practical world, we accept the changes as it comes. So has communism changed according to the time? Communism in the real sense cannot survive in the world today. Reasons are many. People have changed, so are the attitudes and life styles. Value of money has changed, so is the need for it. Meaning of life has changed, so are the people’s interests. Relationships have changed and so is the value of relations.

Farmers and others dependent on agriculture are suffering due to the globalization. Multi National Companies have replaced the agricultural fields. As the world develops, India is also developing from its traditional and conservative way of lives and approaches. Here communism does not work. India needs to be powerful and non-dependent country and as the right time approaches, right steps have to be taken forward. People blame communism for the way it is now. If communism runs the way it actually has to be, will the whole country support them? Will the people be ready to go back to work in the fields under the hot sun? India is a democratic country. Here people decide what system should exist. When they have already decided that communism won’t work anymore, why do people blame communism for not traveling through the way Marx or Lenin showed?

Communism for youth has a different take. They are rebels. The historical rebellious figure Che Guevara is the inspiration for the youth. Youth wants revolution. They fight against injustices and for rights and freedom. Youth through communism or rather rebellion, are trying to prove that even they can change any existing system in the country. Youth are not taken seriously into the working of a system. When they rebel, they are blamed to be irresponsible and immature citizens of tomorrow. Today, youth come out of their homes and they voice out against the corrupted systems in the country.

Corruption is growing in every system in the country. People believe communism is the cause for every riot and other rebellious activities. Like any other party, communism also strives for certain issues. Every day people have different reasons to blame every politician or a political party. So communism is having a charge against it. If you don’t like the change, change it or else you change.

Moments that we shared

Moments that we shared are as sweet as u..........

Moments that we shared have joyful ones and sorrowful ones.........
But the thing is, they are memorable ones.................

For the joyful ones, we shared our happiness.....
For the sorrowful ones, we shared our tears.............

And the moments, when u wanted me,
I held your hand tight..........
The moments when i wanted u,
You too held me unloosened.........

But today, the moment when we want each other,
The distance kept us far apart.........
