Pitiable condition…


Ever since my early teenage days, I have wondered many a times as to why heroines are treated merely as sex dolls and why they are not given strong roles like how the yester year heroines like savithri used to get. I have always wanted to see a movie that had heroine playing a strong, dignified role. That was because in most of the movies the women are projected as though they are the weaker sex and that they cannot do anything without the help of the hero. At the same time the hero will be able to beat twenty goondas at a time and yet emerge out of the whole without even getting a scratch on his body… according to me this is heights of rubbish and crap anyone can ever think of showing people!!! These have been sincerely and strictly followed in all the MGR movies. And the saddest part is that the Tamil audiences have never failed to appreciate these kind dumb formulas.. The irony is these things have been termed as ‘success formulas’ by the producers.

In the recent past I found answers to my questions.. There were few movies releasing which had the lady playing the lead role and they had received a lukewarm response from the public.

Take the case of Kovilpatti veeralakshmi… it had simran playing the lead role and the movie had extremely good story line. This story was actually inspired from a life of a lady named so. But still the movie failed to click at the box office. Why are these things happening? What kind of a movie the audience expects? Is it jus the same old mother-son sentiment? Or lovers running away from the house? Or brother-sister relationship? Or is it just the same old stuff of the so-called success formula and six songs where the hero and heroines have about three duet songs?

I think the audience at large prefers the masala movies.

Leave alone kollywood, the same is the condition with bollywood.. Movies which are good don get any recognition whereas movies with no stuff still manages to win the race. The tastes and preferences of the people are pitiable. With more and more westernization coming into the India, Indian culture is suffering very badly. Considering the number of kissing scenes in the movie, each and every movie competing with each other to increase the number of kissing scenes so that the movie is well received and that it becomes a box office hit.

At the end of the day, the producers just want their movies to click at the box office. That’s it! They are not bothered about the public welfare. These kind of movies misguide the teenagers, both the girls and the boys who will be attracted to get into all unscrupulous acts. First of all, why should the audience force the producers to produce such movies? Its high time the audience starts appreciating nice subjects which projects human beings as human beings and not as dolls!
