FTII PUNE :Preaching & listening get replaced by reasoning and questioning at higher education 

Down with brutal beating of Students of Film & Television Institute of India, Pune. 

The same logic of RSS Pracharak and Hindu Religious Guru about Radhey Maa does not work on FTII'S Chairman Gajendra Singh who is not the face of Indian Cinema. Mr.Gajendra Singh must be asked about the film of great film maker Satyajeet Ray, Adoor Gopal Krishanan, Bimal Da etc  and famous literatures of this country. As he confessed that he is known to Indian Cinema. So obvious it is that he is oblivious of world Cienma, Art and Literature. 
Many a cine phil has doubt about his understanding with Indian Cinema.

Radhey Maa and Mr.Gajendra Singh have been seen in a photograph too, justifies that their understanding about film and religion respectively are the same. So  one is loveable and other is hatred.

 They proclaim that Radhey MAA  does not know the depth of religious books. She can not become Mahamandleshwar and she was sacked down from the designate of Mahamandleshwar by Niranjan Akhada. If she is not up to mark,how Mr. Gajendra Singh can be ? This is the double faces of Government and RSS who take side of Mr.Gajendra to the extent of brutal beating of FTII students and oppose Radhey Maa because she dances in modern aprons, she is lifted in the lap of men and she infringes the line of being goddess. What are the criteria of being Goddess and Godman ? RSS keeps caressing these Guru and Gura mata through the various religion outfits.

 Few of cine artists like Mr.Anupam Kher who has taken U-TURN as far as support of FTII student's demand of replacing the director is concerned. Anumpam Kher alleges that it is now political, being supported by various political parties and leaders from various political formations flock to them. 

Is the appointment of BJP member and RSS supporter Mr.Gajendra Singh to the designation of director of Film &Telivision Institute of international repute is not political ? 

Why does not Government  apply the same yardstick for both Mr.Gajendra Singh and Radhey Maa ?  

Another baseless point  has been raised from the beginning of agitation of the students of institute that students have to study in the institute whosoever the director or principal is posted in there.

If so it is , do incompetent teachers and principal  run the India's famous school like DPS, Reliance School, Ryan School, Poddar School of Mumbai etc, the parents will put their children with heavy investment in the same school ? Many rich parents send their sons and daughters to foreign educational institutes with the investment of thosands of dollars but if the reputation is dented, what happens ? Answer is so obvious in negation. FTII is an institute where graduate , art-lover students take admission with their parent's investment that is higher than other technical institutes of country. 

The students of FTII are more sensitive.They are so exposed to various societies of world, their social, historical, economical and political churning and that's why, their world view is tremendous, chiselled, intervening and beautiful.  They create an aesthetic bridge that connect them to the art, cinema and literature of world. In the world of higher education, the students of art and cinema can not be administered by the primary school's mandatory ethics.The gospeling and listening get replaced by reasoning and questioning that is not being appreciated by the present saffron regime.   

The picketing of Director implies that the students want to interact with the concerned persons of Institute and the Government at New Delhi. Instead of creation of communication bridge, the government orders the police to thrash the democratic demonstrators of FTII. All the art-lovers, cine-lovers, students from all corners and democratic-loving persons of this country must  go ahead to support the demand of students who have been fighting for more than sixty days to beautify the institute with theoretical, empirical and democratic knowledge that will take the Indian Cinema to a stage of churning at world cine-platform.

This long and consistent protest of FTII students have infinite strong fission power that may create the agitation of students and youths against Modi Government in India ?

Satya Prakash’s POV

Film “ MASAAN” is a brilliant piece of art.

Film “MASAAN” hovers two love stories simultaneously in parallel to each other in an Indian City Banaras. The two love stories are not connected at all. Each story has its own characters and they play with progression. Parallel converges to infinite horizon but these two love stories of young boys and girls meet at the Bank of SANGAM ( ALLAHABAD) when they lose their counterparts in untimely accident.

The Screen play of the film is logically and brilliantly written. The progression of both the stories have been caressed and crafted with emotions of love, affection, anger, fear, aesthetics etc.

The film “MASAAN” is showcase of catharsis of collective  deprived public of Indian Society.

One of the love story is devastating because of cruel moral policing of  Feudal city of Banaras that has several impediments among the normal lives of citizens. The moral policing of SHO has compelled the lover boy to commit suicide and mms of one the love-lady makes her life hell along with her father who is now retired teacher, earning money from religious worshipping at death funeral. Richa Chaddha has enlivened the character who feels entrapped from one job to another.Police has almost paralysed the life of Mr.Pathak ( father of Richa Chaddha) who keeps earning his prestige from Lumpen SHO .

The second love story ends with the end up of life girl whose bus meets a horrendous accident. The upper caste girl and a outcaste engineering student love to each other. When girl comes to know of her love-boy’s belonging to the heinous outcaste whose men involve burning the corpse. It’s a bizarre  in  contemporary social and political structure of India. The boy manifests the reality and moves away with brooding. The boy’s faded life  gets bloomed when he gets encouraging call from the girl. She suggests him to get the job and further adds that may be, she may flee with him. The boy starts jumping in joy.He gets handsome job in Allahabad but his lovy-dovy is no more. He gets awe-stunned to see Shalu ( beloved girl) as corpse at his funeral bank of Ganga river in Banaras.

The protagonist of first love story takes admission in Allahabad for further education. She goes to the bank of Sangam( it’s a myth that three rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Sarswati meet here) where the male protagonist of second story is sitting. The girl is crying in a state of gloom, seeing the flowing waves of river.The boy extends a bottle of water. She feels solaced. Both step into a boat that ferry  by taking money.

The girl of first love-story and boy of second love-story converge at Sangam where three rivers converge and moves a head as Ganga.

The both the stories have grey area of feudo-capitalist society where high-tech digital world and heinous political arrangement with caste system  go ahead simultaneously that keeps putting big stones on the path of social development.

The film “ MASAAN” is a allegory of heinous social and political order of country  that has made human life as burning life till the death.

The film travels from pessimism to optimism at the fade-out of the film.

Director Neeraj Ghaywan is an intelligent writer-director who portrays Indian society in two ways that India is still a crude feudal society where Police acts as landlord or powerful person and secondly that India is caste-ridden society that creates ferocious situation before two love-birds.

The metro audiences are  also watching the movie “ MASAAN” amidst two mega budgeted films “BAHUBALI: A Beginning “ and “BAJARANGI BHAIJAAN” . Another big budgeted film “DRISHAYAM” has pounded this film too but audiences have begun walking theatre for this film. The distributers must increase the number of theatres across Globe.

Richa Chaddha , Sweta Tripathi Sanjay Mishra and Vicky Kaushal  have stunned the audiences with their performance.

Indian Ocean’s music is awesome.

I salute the director Mr. Neeraj Ghaywan for his excellence movie “Massan”

Film makers must make such  films like MASAAN that stir the dormant thoughts into fire.

Sulemani Keeda: An awesome “OUT OF BOX” film & a must-

watch-film

The film “ SULEMANI KEEDA” is a very striking and intervening film in year 2014 that has amazed the Cine-lovers who keep seeking good cinema to see. The Film is made with hopping amount like Rupees Ten Crores to Hundred Crores but Audiences eftertain themselves with star actions, kisses and songs.

This movie does not have stars, scintillating erotic scenes and dances because there is no money for these all producer has. These shows, film can be made with good story. This film is , of course, an out of box film that is being sought by a Gonzo Kapoor who wants to be hero but his well established producer-father Sweety Kapoor has tracked him down the commercial formula film of Bollywood.

The film is a great satire on the scripts of the commercial films.
The director has cast all the new faces but as real characters as writer Mahesh Bhat, as director Anil Sharma, as a heroine Amrita Rao will stun the audiences. The great director Shekhar Kapoor has praised of this film a lot.

Publicity seeks a lot of money ( Crores) so this film does not have promo on TV, on Hoardings, on walls and even Radio does not say anything of this Film and this film does not get theatres in all India. PVR-Cinemax chain has released this film “ONE SHOW / A DAY” and it seems that this very releasing house has shown its sympathy to this film. Despite, Audiences admires the film and mouth publicity has tremendously worked .
The film does not have story but film progresses from fade-in to fade-out with experienced moments of two aspiring writers in Bollywood. The writer-director Amit Masurkar has summed the grey part of Film making in an intelligent way. Screenplay, dialogue and Back ground music are really placed in the film as an”OUT OF BOX” that is the USP of the film.

This film “SULEMANI Keeda” warns Bollywood producers who create brouhaha after the defeat of the film at BOX OFFICE. The film is an art-formation created technically with huge amount of investment.

This film will encourage the young film makers, writers, artists and other cine-professionals to make such low-budgeted film with extraordinary contents that will scintillate audiences with healthy entertainment.

The film “Sulemani Keeda” is a film for those who aspire to be the part of Cinema profession, creating a great hope for dying struggle in the field of Cinema.Phoenix rises from ashes. A-must-watch film !

Who is the Bajarangi Bhaijaan for Indian Geeta, living in Pakistan. ?

ART IMITATES LIFE & LIFE IMITATES ART TOO.

The great philosopher Pluto , once, said that Art is an imitation. Of course, art is an imitation of life that beautifies the world. Art plays the vital role to influence the humankind across the border of nations.

The film “ Bajarangi Bhai Jaan” is a great example of art that has given a great hope to a girl named Geeta who crossed the Indian and Pakistan border twelve years back . She is dumb  and that stuns the people across the border , who have seen the movie “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” in which a six year old dumb girl Munni( Shahida) gets lost in India while returning to Pakistan. But a sensitive youngman  Bajrangi Bhaijaan takes the girl to Pakistan. Surprisingly with bizarre awe , Bajarangi has been brought up in a typical bigot Hindu conservative family that follows the ideology of Hindu Rashtra led by RSS ( RAASHTRYA SWAYAMSEVAK SANGH).However, innocence of the girl and meekness determination of Bajrangi work together that transcends the border and all religious fanaticism that has built the persona of Bajarangi. Bajarangi crushes all hurdles and reach Pakistan with six year old girl. .

Just after the release of the film Bajarangi Bhaijaan”, the lost “ Indian Dumb Geeta” has come to light of the human world that has stirred the intelgisia and Government of India to take this girl to India for her parental affection. Geeta is now grown up and she wants to meet her parent In India. She is being caressed by a Muslim lady who takes her to Pakistani Hindu family on the occasion of various festivals like Diwali, Holi and others.The lady and a journalist have raised Geeta’s case with Indian Consulate in Pakistan in many times but all efforts have, so far, gone in vain.

Who will be Bajarangi Bhaijaan for this lost and dumb Indian girl Geeta ? Art indicates  and inspires the people , organisations and the head of the nations. Therefore, we will see how two nations work good for Geeta. Her parent must approach PAK Consulate in New Delhi through Government of India.

In case of Geeta, we can say that life imitates art. Therefore, Film  is a powerful art to communicate the musing, make human chord sensitive to do good for human society. Therefore, Cinema should not be muzzled because it opens the various paths for lives.
