I am a total movie freak...specially Bollywood...agreed there are loads of pathetic movies being made...agreed its nowhere compared to Hollywood...agreed it copies stories...Still I love it....coz I can easily relate to it...and if I relate to any character in any god damn movie...I love it...no matter how big flop it is...
I love this medium..it has the strong potential to convince people that there are good things...there are dreams which do come true...there are things...which can only happen in your dreams...It has the power to create a virtual world one can always imagine...always want to live in...so what if mummies have nothing else to do than doing pooja, welcoming with aarti and cooking gajar ka halwa....
What excites me rather attracts me to these movies is those characters they create...one I can always relate to is 'karan shergill' from 'Lakshya'. What a character Javed Akhtar has created...Though the lifestyle is different, professions are different...friends and family mannerisms are different...still that character so real...the way that character reacts...u can always feel...u too would have done it the same way...or similar incident might have had happened with you in the past....I don't know about others...but I do feel being the same person at times...of course no comparison to my favorite Duggu....(hats of to him for this role..)..but yeah..I do look up to being the same person...who is careless at times...total chilled out...loves his friends like anything...loves a girl...but is not aware of his potential...just coz he isn't focused enough...then his transition form that innocent guy to a responsible man...who still has the same feelings..in fact more strong...but now he knows how and when to express them...and now he knows what is Lakshya is....
Coming back to movies..All these characters that are portrayed...they do express the real person of actors, directors at times...I have this strong belief...every actor puts some of his/her real self into the character to extract it out from the paper...to make it real..convincing...live...and if audience can identify with them...its their success...a proper justice to the character....
I have always seen this medium as a way of my inspiration...of course in a positive way....This may sound funny or strange...but yeah its true..may be thats why I have always been referred to as 'total filmy'..and I love it...I have always loved this process of film making...so much of excitement and uncertainty...but yet once the product is out..u get amazed...coz what u have written on paper; is now in reality...one can play with all the emotions possible...can make you feel good, laugh,cry, think and predict at the same time...only 3 hours of time..and it takes you to an entirely different world...like a ride in an amusement park....
And today I m listening to this from a very dear friend..."bhot badal gaye ho tum".....and how I wished to continue...."Tum nai badali ho kya?".........
Hmmm truly ameya I would say..;)
