The growth of multiplexes and online marketing strategies have improved the movie-going experience for world audiences. Both in the rural and urban areas, viewers go crazy when their favorite stars’ films are released. In India, heroes are deified and temples are constructed for actors and actresses. We hear stories of fans committing suicide when the films flop or their favorite actors die. Children and adults admire the style and dressing sense of their heroes and heroines and always tend to imitate their mannerisms. In some of the states in India, as cine actors and actresses are always in limelight, they could easily enter politics and lord over the people. Corporate associates and business firms make use of topmost film celebrities to endorse their products through advertisements and increase sales. Political leaders utilize these celebrities to campaign for their parties during elections. When the film industry is business-oriented, films are considered commodities and the viewers as consumers. In the world of business, the prime motive behind marketers is to sell the product in any situation. Even before buying any product, we have a tendency to check the price, quality, quantity, company’s authenticity, seller’s credibility, expiry date, the primary ingredients Film Appreciation 1 Jenith Sekar etc. But in the case of films, we blindly believe and consume films without questions and take the actors’ words as sacred as the words of gods and goddesses. We can easily arrive at a syllogism saying the Indian film industry is actors and commerce-centered. Vulgarities, obscene visuals, hate politics, male chauvinistic principles, double meaning wits, visuals of drinking and smoking habits, concepts of religious intolerance, superstitious ideas, cooked-up figures, and distorted facts constitute most of the Indian cinema today. As a consequence, few kids, young and even elders try to exercise the screen principles in their daily life and thus get into trouble. Some people would say that when money is involved we cannot talk or think about values, principles, and ethics in cinema. A common person goes with his family to watch a film in a multiplex theatre by spending an average of 250 rupees (Appx USD 4/-) per head excluding transport, parking, and snacks expenses. It’s too much for a middle-class family to afford. In spite of facing the economic risks and knowing the investment of at least three hours of time, people do watch movies and ‘consume’ them the way they are presented. Today people think that the investment of time and money on film has to be beneficial and sustainable. They too feel that when cinema as a business model directly targets society especially children and youth at large, the film should not be received as it is, but rather it has to be closely analyzed and critically appreciated. Film Appreciation 2 Jenith Sekar Social media journalists and YouTubers continuously post their views on the recently released films and try to appreciate them. Thousands of people respond to those feeds and do develop a habit of watching those films after listening to the reviews. Since a few of the reviews are from visual media illiterates and paid social media channels, we are not able to rely completely on their reviews and views.

    Anna Ball 1 ‘Looking the Beast in the Eye’: Screening Trauma in Waltz With Bashir and Lebanon Published in The Ethics of Representation in Literature, Art and Journalism: Transnational Responses to the Siege of Beirut, ed. Caroline Rooney and Rita Sakr (London: Routledge, 2013), pp.71-85. PRE-PRINT PROOF: PLEASE REFER TO PRINTED VERSION FOR CITATION Anna Ball, [email protected] Having looked the beast of the past in the eye, having asked and received forgiveness and made amends, let us shut the door on the past – not in order to forget it but in order not to allow it to imprison us. - Archbishop Desmond Tutu, South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report.i [Figure 1: Image from Waltz With Bashir, dir. Ari Folman (London: Artificial Eye, 2008).] It is the kind of place that we have all visited in our dreams: somewhere that at first seems drearily familiar, a nocturnal cityscape perhaps, streets littered and rain-sodden. Until you see the sky. Not black but a lurid yellow: a sickly light, the colour of phosphorous, an unnatural illumination of the darkness. Then, as you knew they would, they come, all twenty-six of them, snarling and slathering, sleek black coats gleaming in the rain, eyes bright as flares. All Anna Ball 2 night, they circle beneath your window, howl at you through your restless sleep, and though in the morning they will be gone, as dreams always are, you know that they will return – for this is what it is to be hunted by this particular kind of beast.

  • Yash Chopra the Legend
    YASH CHOPRA THE LEGEND Visionary. Director. Producer. Legendary Dream Merchant of Indian Cinema. And a trailblazer who paved the way for the Indian entertainment industry. 1932 - 2012 Genre defining director, star-maker and a studio mogul, Yash Chopra has been instrumental in shaping the symbolism of mainstream Hindi cinema across the globe. Popularly known as the ‘King of Romance’ for his string of hit romantic films spanning over a five-decade career, he redefined drama and romance onscreen. Born on 27 September 1932, Yash Chopra's journey began from the lush green fields of Punjab, which kept reappearing in his films in all their splendour. © Yash Raj Films Pvt. Ltd. 1 www.yashrajfilms.com Yash Chopra started out as an assistant to his brother, B. R. Chopra, and went on to direct 5 very successful films for his brother’s banner - B. R. Films, each of which proved to be a significant milestone in his development as a world class director of blockbusters. These were DHOOL KA PHOOL (1959), DHARMPUTRA (1961), WAQT (1965) - India’s first true multi-starrer generational family drama, ITTEFAQ (1969) & AADMI AUR INSAAN (1969). He has wielded the baton additionally for 4 films made by other film companies - JOSHILA (1973), DEEWAAR (1975), TRISHUL (1978) & PARAMPARA (1993). But his greatest repertoire of work were the 50 plus films made under the banner that he launched - the banner that stands for the best of Hindi cinema - YRF. Out of these films, he directed 13 himself and these films have defined much of the language of Hindi films as we know them today.
