It’s time to shatter the myth that present age movie-makers are providing new heights to Indian cinema. The harsh truth is that it has been catering to elitist section of the society , who constitute very small portion of the Indian society. It’s amazing that our movie-makers are hell –bent on imposing taste and aspirations of this class on masses guided by altogether different set of perceptions. Precisely, this is the reason why creations of hi-tech directors fail to strike chord with commoners. Although our industry boasts of churning out maximum movies in a year, there is nothing for the conscious viewers to identify himself with, being devoid of both substance and elegance. Unless the directors stop taking into consideration global market as the supreme guiding element, the situation won’t improve. Yesteryear saw plethora of directors like Guru Dutt,Raj Kapoor,Bimal roy,Subodh Mukherji and etc. who were in sync with psyche of Indian people.They reflected the minds and hearts of ‘aam aadmi’(common people) across the silver screen with rare sensitivity.Today they are bogged down by ’star appeal’ weaving trash one after another with Shahrukh or Aishwarya instead of coming out with quality production with Tabu or Naseeruddin Shah.True, it’s market which is determining the process of movie making instead of issues hovering the mass. Interestingly, regional movie-makers are still down –to-earth when it comes to selection of themes although they lack better equipments. In nutshell, for actual transformation of Indian cinema we need more people like Mani Ratnam or else the so-called Bollywood take-offs would keep on weaving illusions in the name of exploring reality.
