The 3d effects were good , maybe they did shoot it in 3d and
not generate it artificialy afterwards. As the Indian owner has said
in print , Hollywood makes spectacular movies but not entertaining
ones, for eg here why not have a hula hoop welcome tribal dance
lasting 3 minutes and not the ten seconds , after all it was filmed in
Hawaii.
DDD was quite good , a bit slow in the first hour till
Anushka appears and does the nightclub dance, wonderful.

New lessons in movie marketing
 
By G. Krishnakumar
The Hindu
Saturday, June 13, 2015
 
A simple behind-the-scenes video was used to popularise
award-winning film Crime No. 89
 
Award-winning filmmaker Sudevan seems to be offering
innovative lessons on marketing movies made on a shoe-
string budget. He explored the potential of releasing a
simple behind-the-scenes video on YouTube to popularize
his film, Crime No. 89, before it reached the theatres of
the Kerala State Film Development Corporation. The video
shows Sudevan and friends chalking out their marketing
plans on a paper, sitting in a dimly-lit room. They draw
up several plans to create interest about the movie but
finally end up deciding that mouth-to-mouth publicity is
the best option, as they do not have much to invest in
posters or advertising in print and visual media.
 
THE 'NEW GEN' MADNESS
 
Even seasoned filmmakers who publicly lambast the so-
called 'new gen' themes seem to be running behind it on
the sly.
 
No wonder, a wannabe screenplay writer had the shock of
his life when one such filmmaker recently asked him to
write 'new generation' dialogues for his forthcoming
movie. The director, who had began his career as a
scriptwriter, had no doubt that the storyline would
appeal to the new generation, but needed the support of a
youngster to churn out fitting dialogues.
 
Forget the stances they take in public, but more and more
filmmakers seem to be rummaging for scripts, which they
believe could instantaneously connect with the young
audience.

How movies embraced Hinduism (without you even noticing)
 
From Interstellar to Batman and Star Wars the venerable
religion has been the driving philosophy behind many hit
movies. Why?
 
[Caption] Alec Guinness as Obi Wan Kenobi in Star Wars...
is he really a Hindu?
 
By Nirpal Dhaliwal
The Guardian
Thursday, December 25, 2014
Last modified on Friday, December 26, 2014
 
Interstellar's box office total is $622,932,412 and
counting. It is the eighth highest-grossing film of the
year and has spawned an endless raft of thinkpieces
testing the validity of its science and applauding the
innovation of its philosophy. But it is not so new. The
idea that propels the plot - there is a universal super-
consciousness that transcends time and space, and in
which all human life is connected - has been around for
about 3,000 years. It is Vedic.
 
When the film's astronaut hero (Matthew McConaughey),
declares that the mysterious and all-knowing "they" who
created a wormhole near Saturn through which he travels
to save mankind - dissolving his sense of material
reality in the process - are in fact "us", he is simply
repeating the central notion of the Upanishads, India's
oldest philosophical texts. These hold that individual
human minds are merely brief reflections within a cosmic
one.
 
McConaughey's character doesn't just talk the talk. He
walks the walk. So, the multidimensional tesseract - that
endlessly reflective prism he finds himself in as he
comes to this realisation, and in which he views life
from every perspective - is the film's expression of
Indra's net, the Hindu metaphor which depicts the
universe as an eternal web of existence spun by the king
of the gods, each of its intersections adorned with an
infinitely sided jewel, every one continually reflecting
the others.
 
[Video]
 
Of course, Hollywood's eager embrace of Buddhism, yoga
and other esoteric Indian systems is not new. David Lynch
is an outspoken exponent of transcendental meditation,
Richard Gere follows the Dalai Lama and Julia Roberts
affirmed her Hinduism in the wake of Eat, Pray, Love - a
movie that tells the tale of a modern American woman's
journey towards peace through Indian spiritual practises
that grossed over $200m (£128.6m). Hinduism can get the
tills ringing even when it urges parsimony.
 
Nolan has long been a devout subscriber to the cause. A
director famed for being able to get a multimillion
dollar project off the ground with only his own name as
collateral, he clearly knows the value of pre-existing
brands such as Hinduism. His breakthrough hit, Memento,
had Guy Pearce as an amnesiac whose unreliable
consciousness is the faulty lens through which we see the
story of a murder, told both in chronological and reverse
order. This notion of distrusting individual reality and
looking beyond it for truth was extended in Nolan's
Inception, in which Leonardo DiCaprio leads a team of
"psychonauts" on a heist deep within the recesses of a
billionaire's mind - a spiralling adventure of dreams
within dreams in which the laws of nature increasingly
bend and warp - before finding its purest expression in
Interstellar.

"Look at the first Matrix movie," says producer Peter
Rader. "It's a yogic movie. It says that this world is an
illusion. It's about maya - that if we can cut through
the illusions and connect with something larger we can do
all sorts of things. Neo achieves the abilities of the
advanced yogis [Paramahansa] Yogananda described, who can
defy the laws of normal reality."
 
Rader's latest movie, a documentary about Yogananda, who
was among the first gurus to bring Indian mysticism to
North America in the 1920s, has been a sleeper hit in the
US. The film documents how influential Hindu philosophy
is in American culture, with contributions from the likes
of the yoga-devoted hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons.
"There's a big pent-up demand," thinks Rader. "There are
a lot of closet spiritualists who are meditating, doing
yoga, reading books and thinking about a bigger reality.
And now they can come out and say, 'Yes, I'm into this.'
Steve Jobs read Yogananda's book once a year. He
bequeathed a copy of it to everyone who attended his
memorial. It helped inspire him to develop products like
the iPad."
 
But before Nolan, before the Matrix, before, even, the
iPad, there was Star Wars. It was the film, with its
cosmic scale and theme of a transcendental "force" that
confers superhuman powers on those who can align with it,
which opened up mainstream American culture to Indian
esotericism more than anything else. George Lucas was
influenced by the mythologist Joseph Campbell, whose work
A Hero With a Thousand Faces traced the narrative arc
common to all mythic heroes that Luke Skywalker would
embark upon. Campbell himself lived by his Upanishadic
mantra "follow your bliss", which he derived from the
Sanskrit term sat-chit-ananda.

Bros - Sportsphoto - Allstar
 
"The word sat means being," said Campbell. "Chit means
consciousness. Ananda means bliss or rapture. I thought,
'I don't know whether my consciousness is proper
consciousness or not. I don't know whether what I know of
my being is my proper being or not, but I do know where
my rapture is. So let me hang on to rapture, and that
will bring me both my consciousness and my being'." His
mantra was the paradigm for Skywalker's own realisation
of the force, the sense of peace, purpose and power
gained once he allowed himself to accept and unify with
it. "If you follow your bliss," thought Campbell, "you
put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all
the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought
to be living is the one you are living."
 
As his mastery of the force neared its peak, Skywalker
comes perilously close to taking Vader's sinister path.
With this, Star Wars established the principle in
Hollywood of superheroes having to overcome an inner
darkness while battling an external enemy, and finding an
enlightenment in the process. Nolan's trilogy of Batman
movies - in which a tortured protagonist struggles as
much not to become his nemesis as to defeat it - have
introduced a whole new generation to the Indian god-myths
and the teachings of yoga that emphasise the priority of
one's internal journey while facing the challenges of the
outside world. Next year, even younger recruits to the
cause will feel the force of the new JJ Abrams' Star Wars
movie.
 
[Video]
 
"Spirituality is the open-secret," says Rader. "A lot of
people know that if we quieten down we can tap into a
deeper power. And the movies that tap into that, like
Star Wars and Interstellar, are hugely popular. Audiences
know what the film is telling them, they have a sense
that this story is working on a deeper level. It's
telling them that there's more to life than just the
ordinary. That there's something much bigger, and they're
a part of it."
 
A philosophy to which many are keen to subscribe is what
makes religions successful. Movies, too.

Bollywood is the best form of entertainment on the planet ,far

Aamir Khan's 'PK' grosses record 100 million yuan in China
 
 
Aamir Khan's "PK" has set a new record grossing 100 million yuan (USD
16.70 million) in China, becoming the first Indian film to touch the
three figure mark in the largely restrictive Chinese movie market.
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan's "PK" has set a new record grossing
100 million yuan (USD 16.70 million) in China, becoming the first
Indian film to touch the three figure mark in the largely restrictive
Chinese movie market.
 
"PK", which is having a dream run in China since its Chinese version
was released in on May 22, has hit the hundred million yuan mark
today," Prasad Shetty, partner in Chinese firm Strategic Alliance,
which promotes Indian films in China, told PTI.
 
While it is a record for an Indian film, PK's China revenue has
surpassed USD 10.6 million earnings in US-Canada, the traditional
overseas market for Indian films, he said.
 
Also "PK" has done better than George Clooney's Hollywood movie
"Tomorrowland", which was released around the same time in China,
Shetty said.
 
This means "PK" has crossed a threshold in Chinese market making it
even bigger than US-Canada market, which could make the Indian film
media take the Chinese market seriously, he said.
 
There is euphoria about the movie's success both in Indian film and
diplomatic circles as its success came when the two countries reached
agreements for joint productions giving them the status of locally
produced movies.
 
This would provide filmmakers

Adopt song-and-dance routine, Irrfan to Hollywood
 
Irrfan Khan at a press conference
 
Movie star Irrfan Khan, lauded for his roles in The Lunchbox and Life
of Pi, has urged Hollywood directors to adopt Bollywood's love of
flamboyant song-and-dance routines.
 
The ubiquitous actor, whose credits also include The Amazing
Spider-Man and The Darjeeling Limited, said that US blockbusters would
benefit from an injection of musical hoopla, Indian style.
 
Khan, 48, is one of Bollywood's most internationally recognised
exports, carving a stellar career at home and in Hollywood where he
has worked with Oscar-winning directors Danny Boyle and Ang Lee.
 
Ahead of the US release on June 12 of Jurassic World, Khan's latest
Hollywood film, the Rajasthan-born actor said the American movie
industry could learn a lot from its Indian counterpart.
 
"The informality and personal connections in Bollywood are nice," Khan
said during an interview in Mumbai. "Things are too compartmentalised
in Hollywood, and the system can be rigid.
 
"Also they should imbibe our song-and-dance culture. I think Hollywood
could do wonders with it," added the father-of-two.
 
Khan, who charmed global audiences as a lonely accountant who
exchanges hidden letters with a neglected housewife in The Lunchbox,
is currently hot property in both major film industries.
 
Piku, in which he has a supporting role as a taxi driver, has
dominated Indian box offices since early May.
 
He will also star in action-drama Jazbaa (Passion), which is scheduled
for release in October. Khan has been involved in almost 90 films
throughout his career, including The Namesake, and is presently
shooting with Tom Hanks in Ron Howard's adaptation of Dan Brown's
novel Inferno, due for release next year.
 
He thinks there are big differences between Bollywood and Hollywood,
suggesting that one so-so movie in America can hamper an actor's
career, while in Mumbai you can still get by. "In India an actor with
one hit in the bag can survive with PR and continue working in another
four films, until he delivers his next hit," says Khan.
 
"Social media activity and perception works more over here, but in
Hollywood, you have to perform and deliver. The irony is that while it
is a heavily marketing-based industry, you cannot survive there on the
basis of marketing (alone)," he added.
 
While Khan — often referred to as simply "Irrfan" by his fans — is now
feted the world over, it hasn't always been plain sailing for the
drama graduate. He worked in the Mumbai television industry for
several years before landing a small part in filmmaker Mira Nair's
Salaam Bombay (1988), but his joy was short lived when the role was
later cut.
 
Television and a few Hindi film roles followed but Khan was unable to
land the romantic hero roles symptomatic of Bollywood movies because
directors viewed him as not good-looking enough.
 
He has been often cast as the villain or a cop, and also played the
Indian Macbeth in Maqbool and the ghost in the Hindi Hamlet, Haider.
 
Khan was almost ready to quit acting out of frustration with the way
his career was progressing, but in 2001 he landed a part in British
director Asif Kapadia's awarding-winning film The Warrior.
 
He hasn't looked back and now revels in the attention he receives. "I
get a lot of importance and affection in the West," he says. "They
appreciate the elements and layers you bring to the character. Even in
India critics notice what you bring to a role," Khan adds. He rues the
fact that Indian films no longer always include songs as they did in
the 1960s and '70s. "Music was (our) originality," Khan says.
 
However, he appreciates that recent hits such as Boyle's Slumdog
Millionaire and Lee's Life of Pi have helped change the perception of
Indian movies internationally.
 
"Although Slumdog and Pi are not Indian films, they are perceived to
be, and they are films that are engaging with audiences abroad," says
Khan.

All he did was buy a gun to defend his family , in fact every
Hindu should be fully trained to use a gun, Imagine if in Ramadi every
family had been given a gun , the few hundred ISIS would have never
dared take over the town facing 100,000 armed men and women
The govt should recommend that Sanjay should be pardoned.
