WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MOVIE SUBJECT SELECTION PROCESS

These days the movie making has taken a route of mental bankruptcy,the latest being Brad Pitt's movie BENJAMIN where a a old man transforms into achild with the passage of time.This gives an indication that either we have reached asaturation point of subject selection or we have simply exhausted our power to think and use cinema as apowerful tool of social change.Or we do not wish to look for subjects which we can confidently say will make into a good cinematic material.Otherwise we need to dwell into all time classics such as "BOOK OF WISHES" which brings together oldage home occupants in contact with childrens of a school building of which has been destroyed. This simple story has been told by the director of the film in such absorbing manner that it has considered to be an alltime great movie.We need to find better value for the money, time. resources and technology we have at our disposal in the present times.

AAMIR CREATES ANOTHER HISTORY AFTER TZP

Aamir's date with Chrismas was greeted with thumping success and unending applauses.The Aamir factor and the deft changes brought in the scripting made it into a complete cinmatic drama which looked plausible and down to earth.The music of A.R.Rehman only added to lusture of the film and made it an eminently watchable picture.The music by Rehman has always had an melliflous quality about the songs and particularly about the background score which has remained a very strong point of his music. While we cannot stop praising Aamir's performance there is no denying that Asin as his ladylove has created a very, very endearing impression on the audiences.And mind you this has been achieved inspite of this movie having been made in Tamil & Telugu and the Hindi version had to meet the success benchmark set by them without altering the basic storyline and flow of the script which it did with remarkable ingenuity.So more strength to Aamir to continue to make "successful escapist cinema" for the masses and also continue his meaningful and socially relevant cinema in an commercial ambit i.e."TARE ZAMEEN PAR" which we hope will wipe out the disappointment of " LAGAN" at the OSCARS'.
