On Why Indian Science fiction has little reception?



Sci-fi genre has not much of takings in people as per our film professionals assumption i guess, that's why very less no of movies had come out on it. Yet, there are lot of fantasy movies and mythology movies (earlier days people used to call this camera trick, pre graphics came into picture) which can be called as some what a sci-fi movies only, infact many of Hollywood movies are inspired from Indian mythology and philosophy(say for example Avatar and The Matrix).  The only director of India who handled this genre the most is Singeetham Srinivasa Rao. Communist propagandist director Velu Prabhakaran's Nalaya Manithan(1989) and Athisaya Manidhan(1990) is sort of sci-fi only with horror mixture i guess.
There are movies iconic like international film director Shekar Kapur's Mr.India(Hindi film). Some of the important films below:
1. Endhiran(In hindi it's Robot-film released on 2010, 289 crore earnings with budget of 132 crores)
2. PK(not pure yet joins the league highest grossing film in India All Time as of now)
3. Krish (Hrithik Roshan Starrer sequels).
4. Ra-One(SRK movie)
6. Little John (2002)
7.  Aditya 369 (1991-this inspired 2008 Hindi film Love Story 2050)
8. Vikram (1986) - actor kamal and Tamil writer Sujatha scripted Tamil film inspired from Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's rainbow. A film on rocket hijack.
9. E ( 2006 Tamil actor Jeeva's film. communist propagandist director S.P.Jananathan)
10. Tamil films - Suryas 7am Arivu and dasavatharam not pure sci fi ,still joins the league few components like Virus.

#home Malayalam movie review

Image
I got into this after tough day in my work and selected this as somewhere I saw some raving review in my facebook feed somewhere in my mobile. Irony that movie which downplays the mobile device got attention by mobile. It's very hard and unfair to write review on culture and language that am not into it. But first time ever I went really went tight on capturing images and reading sub titles due to the natural visual, realistic characters. when the movie started telling about a director and writers block, i thought it's going to be too artistic and would loose empathy as like the movies 71/2(french), marupadiyum, bommalatam, VTV. I don't like movies about movies, I was sleepy until the part came in about the guy who ran a video cassette shop who gone out of competition now. And also I thought this movie cannot be tagged as just a feel good family drama but has more hearty flavour to it. My take on a movie always would be story distorted and pick my favourite elem

Image
This is ON JK who lived during -Jiddu Krishnamurti- May 12, 1895 – February 17, 1986 ).He is many's spiritual guru and had not sharing about him to anyone as there are certain beauties which we cant share and also philosophy is a dry subject,where people wont like it. He cannot be labelled as the guru, anybody don't have any particular person who is their guru all life. Life is our guru,not particular person.But to push yourself to life and make the starting ceremony with first lesson in a big book of life you need a guru. A guru is only a starting point. The guru cant find you as you have to. To dig on life we should not willing to be satisfied with superficial,comfortable,painful life which we may be hiding at. Many will get inside the learning zone only when wanting to penetrate life more then what it is ,and become desperate to know on why pain and how to overcome it.First time in life we will be bothered to dig life,strain  and win it INTELLECTUALLY.

ON Tamil Writer Balakumaran - The man who knew too much on spirituality

Image
  This write-up on writer Balakumar, veteran of tamil fiction credited to have 200 plus book titles. Balakumaran writing got into me when i watched the Tamil movie Gentleman(1993) as a kid. Even though dialogue is small part of movie, managed to take away his name in the movie titles which we hardly care to see. Then i managed to see some of his works in movie and always been great fan like for a hero in the movie. Later i used to see his name was always there in tamil novel section in book shops which i often used to visit. I turned pages there and got into his novel writing a bit. One of my non conformist friend suggested couple of his novels which i tried and started liking his flavor of writing. He shines like a hero in a movie after reading through it. Amazing technique of domain exploration, philosophical musings on life and people, adulation of feminine side. The novel like "Irumbu kudhiraigal" flashes a bit of movie "Polladavan" and drives into a subject,
