Hi friends in this article let us discuss about one of the interesting topics and that too it is related to cinema. Ya , we will see the development of the Indian cinema, and what made Indian cinema as one of the best in the world. People outside India really have a wrong conception that whenever someone says about Indian cinema, it is Bolywood.
But the thing is different here, because compared with the Hindi film industry the South Indian film industry that includes Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada, are doing exceptionally well and compared with that of Bolwood, many people outside the country watch these films, because there are lots of South Indians in various parts of the world.
But still the Hindi film Industry, unofficially called as Bolywood, does a great job and contribute well for the Indian cinema, because Hindi is the national language and naturally many people used to watch Hindi films. But many experts believe that the naming of the industry must not be copied form Holywood, like Kolywood (Tamil), Bolywood (Hindi), Tolywood (Telugu).
Because Indian cinema has its own tradition and culture and moreover as a country India is unique and so we need to maintain our culture and unique nature and we must name the industry according to our tradition and culture, rather than using the name which other country follows. Even using the name like Telugu Film Industry, Tamil Film Industry, Malayalam Film Industry, Hindi Film Industry, Kannada Film Industry is also good rather than using the foreign names.
It is not the correct word, when we used to say our films are not like International standard. I recently heard the interview of a great legend of Indian cinema, where he said it is wrong to use the word international standard; because this may make the early film makers that they didn’t produce good films. There is no such thing called International Standard, because every country have their own culture and tradition and that is what people except.
It will be very interesting when we compare the cinema style with that of our food habits. When we consider foreign people, they have different food habits and they used to have a simple food like burger, Pizza and most importantly they usually have a single item. But when we consider Indians, we have a complex food system, where we will start with Sambhar rice and finish with curd, with number of side dish.
Now comparing the Indian food to our cinema, like we have a variety of item for our lunch, our film also contains emotions, sentiment, action, comedy and most importantly the trade mark of Indian cinema Songs, whereas the foreign films mostly don’t have songs and follow a single concept like that of their food. Actually I heard this example I a TV show and was very much impressed. But this doesn’t mean that we should not adapt their method, because knowing the culture of world is very important.
So let us promote and encourage our cinema and also the world cinema and make the best of the entertainment available for us.
