Few days back I was reading the main theme of Brunch( it is a supplement we get with Hindustan Times every Sunday). The main theme last Sunday was Indie cinema or short movie world in our Bollywood. Nevertheless as the name says it is truly a very short world engrossed in itself. In this whole gigantic world of Bollywood , Indie cinema it is yet to make a mark. It is still cuddled like a small child taking a very small place and no notice at all.But if we look at some of the good movies this year..also the Oscar nominated ones, one can see that its not those 200 cr. club group that got noticed but the short,sensible and realistic cinema that fetched all praises.Yes,its absolutely true that in the wake of entertainment and commercialization we have forgotten the true meaning of theatre…which is to deliver a message through entertainment. As the 100 cr. club nominees are losing true motive its these Indie ones that are serving the purpose. Few examples like The Lunchbox, The good Road , Kush etc. deserve all the kudos.Besides being entertaining they were realistic and thought provoking.They displayed the true sense of creativity.Hats off to directors and whole of the team of such movies to bring to us a different genre of Indian Cinema and raising its bar.
