Most big-ticket films these days either end with a cliffhanger, depriving audiences of the satisfaction of a complete product, or add a surprise climactic cameo to end on a high note and make way for a sequel. A deeper issue plaguing big-star filmmaking in India — ironically popularised by #PushpaTheRise — is the trend of splitting the story of one film into two, to justify a sequel The issues with this trend also point to a lack of know-how among commercial southern Indian filmmakers in building their Intellectual Properties into long-term assets — a major reason for insincere attempts at cashing in on established IPs Read my take on this trend: https://lnkd.in/g_VpuEg4 #Cinema #IndianCinema #FilmJournalism #FilmCriticism #Pushpa2 #Pushpa2TheRule #Movies

Breaking Age Stereotypes: My Journey as a Young Filmmaker "Your film got selected?" "You made this film?" These were the questions that echoed around me as I walked through the Film Festival in Lucknow. Being the youngest filmmaker whose film was selected, I saw the amazement and shock in their eyes. The expressions on their faces were a mix of disbelief and admiration, a reaction that highlighted the preconceived notions many hold about age and capability. This experience was a profound reminder that people often judge you by your age, overlooking the fact that everyone works in their own unique timezone. Age is just a number, but passion and dedication are timeless. The festival was a testament to this, showcasing a diverse array of films from creators of all ages, each bringing their unique perspectives to the screen. Each of us has our own journey and pace. It's not about how old you are, but about the stories you have to tell and the dreams you strive to achieve. The path to creativity and innovation is not linear, and success can come at any age. What matters most is the heart and effort you put into your work. At the festival, I was surrounded by seasoned filmmakers and newcomers alike, each with their own narrative to share. The diversity in age and experience created a rich tapestry of storytelling, proving that creativity knows no age limits. It was inspiring to see how different generations could come together, learn from one another, and celebrate the art of filmmaking. As I reflected on my journey, I realized that the disbelief I encountered was not a barrier, but a challenge to continue pushing forward. It was an affirmation that breaking through age-related stereotypes can inspire others to pursue their passions regardless of how young or old they might be. So, to all the dreamers and creators out there: let your work speak louder than the numbers that define you. Embrace your unique timeline, and never let age be a barrier to your ambitions. Every story matters, every dream is worth chasing, and every voice deserves to be heard. Keep pushing boundaries, challenging expectations, and sharing your vision with the world. The future is bright for those who dare to dream big and work passionately towards their goals. #YoungFilmmaker #DefyLimits #PassionOverAge #CreativeMinds #FilmFest #Storyteller #InspireAction #AgeIsNothing #BreakStereotypes #DreamChaser

#Kalki is an important movie for Indian film industry. There is going to be a huge debate on weather or not the hype was worth it. Irrespective of the box-office success or critical view or public opinion, this movie is an attention seeker. It's a gateway to attract more foreign investments. It's going to build hope in audience to expect better content. This is not a review though. This is more like a longing from an enthusiast who is eager for Indian cinemas to set new international standard with it's own style of filmmaking. The debate that might rise between perspectives is going to settle with the birth of new opinion. Just as a new idea is born when you brainstorm multiple contrasting ideas. This is a very crucial film for the growth of Indian cinema. Wish the team a success they deserve. ❤️ #cinema #business #india
