Art Films are Boring , Idiotic and Time Consuming

On a good old sunday afternoon , after a heavy lunch brunch bought up a good DVD and thought of spending my lovely afternoon by watching it... Suddenly after a few minutes of the movie started i was surrounded with a gallons of criticism and comments that i am watching something unrealistic , unauthentic and useless chunk. It was not any typical bollywood movie but it was an Art Film which i was glaring into with full attention.

I am not here to debate or prove some point that only because i have a flair for the Art Films everyone should have , but as said by one of my colleague last week its really unfair to call it Art Films . The real term should be the " Real Film" coz Art films are more routed to our culture and they are depicted to the real life today. In other words " REAL CINEMA" .

But my article doesn't break here . Art Films are boring.. Everyone today knows about the typical bollywood cinema. Hero dancing along with heroine in a fascinating gardens , killing 25 goons in one shot , singing songs and in the end lives happily ever after. Nobody is to be blamed for enjoying this fantasy coz a common man anyways have a lots of problem , he is running everyday and travelling in a claustrophobic compartments and is definetly busy with upholding his day to day responsiblities and when he is given a virtual tour to the alps of Switzerland in just few bucks he wont be bored. But when we talk about Real Cinema.. I would define it , Art Films they give us a message about whats happening in our daliy life its a reflection of ours what we see through it . But still Real Cinema is BORING coz it does't give you a scenic tour of Amsterdam.

When we talk about Real Cinema , it is the cinema where there is an existence of talented , gifted and genius filmmakers...Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen, Bimal Roy, V. Shantaram, Chetan Anand, Khwaja Ahmad Abbas, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Shyam Benegal, Jahnu Barua, Ismail Merchant.These filmmakers tried to promote realism in their own different styles, though many of them often accepted certain conventions of popular cinema.Real cinema of this time gave careers to a whole new breed of young actors, including Shabana Azmi, Smita Patil, Amol Palekar, Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Pankaj Kapoor. Many movies from a real cinema has given a great value to the Indian Film Industry. NFDC one of the producers of the Real Cinematic movies like Pestonjee , Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro , Ek Doctor Ki Maut , Mirch Masala , Party , Dharavi , Massey saheb and many more.

Expressions and acting from the bottom of the heart , seriousness and conscience kept by all the actors of the Real Cinema are all idiotic , funny and are Oppressive..Why??? only because it depicts to the real life struggle. I still remember one of the authentic movie made on the struggle of a common man against a builder who try's to grab his house for making his business shine "Mohan Joshi Haazir ho" . Movies like "Junoon" potraying on 1857 revolutionary period. " Ardh Satya" fight of a cop against the corruption. " In Custody - Muhafiz" death of a Urdu language. The subjects what we had here were on real reel of life . Again here there is no criticism for other movies. Real cinemas you cannot fault them for stories. So when i term, its called as an Idiotic only because its not like movies like " Dil Chahta Hai" where the story is of three rich brats with no tensions in their life and only concern about doing lovydovy...like we call straight from Archies comics.

1980's were the time where Parallel cinema (Real Cinema) took a peak .. "Jaane bhi do Yaaron"one of the best made sarcastic film in the history of Indian Cinema very popular with cinegoers and also with masses and elites.

I remember a movie called " A Journey" , one of the movie by Harish Saluja ... "Ohhh man this movie is time consuming" this was one of the comment which i heard from the backseat from a gentlemen. The movie was only of 2 hrs with a 10 mins of Intermission.. Only because there was no item song , absence of chicks dancing in bikini's made it time consuming..Afterall its a Real Cinema..who wants to apply his brains and see the depth afterall!!!.. But parallely when we talk about movies like " Jodha Akbar " , " Salaam-e-Ishq " which runs for 4 hrs and only because it has chocolate cute hero's and stars its not a Time consuming , coz again a virtual tour of fantasy for 4 hrs who would mind.. In other lines its called Escapist cinema...

At the end of the day to each his own one can be intoxicated on Desi Boose (Tharra) and also on drinking scotch.. Real Cinema (Art Films) are acquired taste.. Any Tom , dick or Harry can see or enjoy commercial films , but all you need is a mind and more important to appreciated the beauty of "REAL CINEMA"... A beautiful lines to say " Sachai Chhup Nahi Sakti Banawat Ke Ausolon Say Ke Khushbo Aa Nahi Sakti Kahbi Kaghaz Ke Pholon Say "..
