  • Hollywood Films Have Inspiration for Hindi Film Industry
    PRLog - Global Press Release Distribution Hollywood Films Have Inspiration For Hindi Film Industry The Hollywood influence is evident in some of the forthcoming biggies like Paa, Action Replay, Agyaat and Pyaar Impossible. June 23, 2009 - PRLog -- Right from cult classics like Baazi (1951) to Sholay (1975) and Baazigar (1993) - and even Ghajini (2008) - all have some western movie as the stimulus. The Hollywood influence is evident in some of the forthcoming biggies like Paa, Action Replay, Agyaat and Pyaar Impossible. Guru Dutt's debut Baazi was inspired by the Rita Hayworth starrer Gilda (1946), while Sholay is widely called an 'Indian curry Western film', with inspiration from seven Hollywood films including - Once Upon A Time In The West (1968), Spaghetti Westerns, The Wild Bunch (1969), Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973) and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). Baazigar and Ghajini are said to be Indianised versions of A Kiss Before Dying (1991) Memento (2000) respectively. Paa supposedly draws its plot from the 1996 comedy-drama Jack, about a boy who ages faster than normal due to a disease, while Akshay Kumar-starrer Action Replay is an alleged take-off on the reverse-ageing drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Promos of Ram Gopal Varma's horror thriller Agyaat suggest sequences from sci-fi horror Predator (1987). Pyaar Impossible is apparently sketched around reality TV series Beauty and the Geek and 1999s Notting Hill - on a relationship between a film actress and her fan. David Dhawan, Karan Johar and Abbas-Mustan are working on remakes of The Wedding Crashers (2005), Stepmom (1998) and The Italian Job (1969 and 2003).

  • A Study on Visual Story Telling Techniques of Maniratnam Movies: Cinematography and Mise En Scene Analysis of Selected Movies
    Annals of R.S.C.B., ISSN:1583-6258, Vol. 25, Issue 6, 2021, Pages. 9599 - 9606 Received 25 April 2021; Accepted 08 May 2021. A Study on Visual Story Telling Techniques of Maniratnam Movies: Cinematography and Mise en scene Analysis of Selected Movies 1 2 Mena M, Varun Prabha T 1Post Graduate Student, MA JMC,Dept.of Visual Media and Communication,Amrita School of Arts and Sciences,Amrita VishwaVidyapeetham, Kochi, India 2Assistant Professor, Dept.of Visual Media and Communication,Amrita School of Arts and Sciences,Amrita VishwaVidyapeetham, Kochi, India Abstract Visually representing a story is an art. Mastering that art and capturing human minds into the soul of the characters of the film and mirroring the very own society was part of Mani Ratnam’s life for the past three decades. This research paper points towards some of the techniques employed and experiments conducted in visual storytellingin his various projects by using Miseen scene elements and cinematography in beautiful ways. In Roja what he Sasnthosh Sivan and Mani Ratnam experimented was painting the reflectors green, to look the grass greener than it actually is. In Thapalathy, Mani ratnam projected a yellowish light, like an aura into the protagonist which symbolizes his history and background. In Bombay, he throughout kept a blue tone in order to gives an element of mystery in the film. In Raavanan, he played with shades and light and that too in two different ways at the beginning and at the end of the films.
