PRABHAKAR Founder and Managing Trustee, NDSO D/4, Varasidhi Vinayagar Apartments, 10, 5th Cross Street, Trustpuram, Chennai - 600 024. Mobile: +91- 96001 99110 Email: [email protected] ; [email protected] Website: www.ndsoindia.org Vaazhga valamudan, Greetings from the Networking and Development center for Social Organisations (NDSO). On the 10th year of its inception ndso feels happy and proud to place this informative and motivating guide book in your hands. Today more than 1000 social organisations have been linked to be of some help to them in our own humble way. NDSO considers every social organisation as people’s solution for national problems. Problems are created by the people;therefore the solutions also have to come from them, rather than from the government.It is with this view in mind we look for the most effective and well run social organisations and link them to make social service a people’s movement. In a vast country like ours , every sector offers enormous challenges to make it nation oriented and promoting peoples welfare. Education, orphans care,senior citizen care, medical facilities, agriculture, environmental issues, sharing of water and natural resources, rural welfare, the welfare of the physically and mentally challenged children, prohibition, poverty, violence against women, drugs are some of the sectors that need our immediate attention. Every one of us have the role to play to make the above sectors national growth oriented and effectively helping everyone of us to play our role in a most effective way so that our country becomes livable for all of us and lovable for all people of the world. NDSO rededicates itself, through social organisations to make our country both strong and ethical in all possible ways. With regards DR.Alagar ramanujam Chairman, ndso, chennai Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharishi’s abode at Thiruvannamalai Let us stand tall, strong and steadfast by the sacred influence of this holy mountain in all our endeavors.

    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 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. In Alaipayuthe he presented the story more through the movements of camera and through micro expressions and symbolizations.Theglobalization and evolution of Indian Cinematography can be traced out through the works of Mani Ratnam.

Her constant support, encouragement, advice and wisdom have been absolutely indispensable. To that master of words, puns and keeping his hat on during the toughest times of semester, Roger Hillman, I extend profound gratitude. Roger‟s generosity with opportunities for co-publishing, lecturing and tutoring, and enthusiasm for all things Turkish German, musical and filmic has been invaluable.
