What are some awesome movie facts & details?

 The Black hole in Interstellar wasn't just good CGI. The VFX team accidentally created real science that even physicists had never seen before.

We all know how obsessed Christopher Nolan is when it comes down to accuracy in his movies. For the Black hole scene in Interstellar, he brought in Kip Thorne a world renowned physicist who would go on to win the Nobel prize in 2017.

To make the scene as realistic as possible, Thorne got to work and sent the VFX team equations about how light bends around a spinning black hole. They created a new software called DNGR to run the simulation. The process was so complex that each single IMAX frame took over 100 hours to render.

When it was complete, Thorne revealed that even he was seeing a fast spinning black hole in ultra high definition for the very first time.

The VFX team had accidentally made a major contribution to astrophysics. Their simulation revealed spacetime warping into shapes nobody had ever seen before.Their findings were so significant that they were published in two peer reviewed scientific journals. They also won the Oscar for Best visual effects that year.

What is your review of the trailer of the Bollywood movie Marjaavaan?

 From the makers of the iconic film Gunda,

Comes their next film Marjaavan.

Wait! What?

Both movies aren’t related?

Sorry, those brilliant dialogues gave me the impression that it was from the makers of Gunda.

Let me restart it.

---

He’s our hero.

He’s too good, too strong, too angry and too Bhojpuri.

Wait! It’s not a Bhojpuri movie?

Sorry. Those fights made me think that it is a Bhojpuri movie.

The hero is so strong that the goons start flying even without him touching them.

Bhagawat ke liye ijaazat ki zarurat nahi......Rok sake sher ko utni toh kutton mein taqat nahi.

- Siddharth Malhotra, 2019

So he punches the goons while delivering punch dialogues. And then, he sees trouble, I meant the heroine.

And there’s instant love, just like that?

Oh! And a song too.

Jaan toh vo bhi leta ha, aur khud hi marham ban jata hai. Ishq hai main marjaavaan!

- Tara Sutaria, 2019

And every movie has villain, this too.

Enters Riteish Deshmukh. He’s a midget, with poor graphics.

Pata hai kameenepan ki height kya hai? Teen foot

- Riteish Deshmukh, 2019

It is 2019, and Bollywood is unable to get midgets right.

That should make you wonder how Kamal Haasan got it right 30 years ago.

Anyways, moving ahead.

Now the fight between the hero and the villain begins, while delivering dialogues.

Main badla nahi lunga sir, main inteqaam lunga

-Siddharth Malhotra, 2019

So they fight… while defying gravity.

Enters Abhishek Bachchan:

What? He’s not Abhishek?

Sorry again!

Enters Rakul Preet Singh:

Sher ke muh mein gardan dalega na, no nahi bach payega.

- Rakul Preet Singh, 2019

Main maaroonga mar jaayega dubaara janam lene se daar jaayega.

-Siddharth Malhotra, 2019

Aaand….that’s it. That is the end of the trailer.

Oh! And he kills the heroine too.

What is the best answer given by a person in a film when asked, "who are you"?

 

The film that answers the question - who are you ???

India is zero ! Beggar nation !

Who the hell are you ?? Stupid country ? Stupid Indians ? Backward , dirty poor !!! Who are you ?

A hungry tattered India could only give a reply by poetry and songs, when Pran spits the above hurtful words at Manoj Kumar at a club in London.

In the 60s and early 70s when India was living on wheat charity from USA , this ‘bhikari’ tag was the norm. There could have been no counter argument to what Pran had said, but a poor self respecting nation could only reply with lyrics with the reply given by Manoj Kumar. “Jab zero diya mare Bharat ne …… deta na dasmlav Bharat to , Chand pe jana muskshil tha “ Those days we had only civilisational memory to rebuttal disparaging remarks on being called a poor hungry beggar nation. Shiploads of American wheat used to reach our docks to feed the hungry millions eking out a living from their parched lands.

This was a scene from the 1970 film ‘Purab aur Paschim” : written , produced and directed by the great Harkrishan Giri Goswami , also known as Manoj Kumar.

One must doff a hat to Manoj Kumar on having the courage and conviction to boost our morale when national spirit was down in the dumps. Who could predict, other than Manoj Kumar, that one day this country would find its place in the geo-politico-economic space.

Apna Bharat woh Bharat hai

Jis ke peechhe sansaar chala

Sansaar chala aur aage badha

Yun aage badha badhta hi gaya

Bhagwan kare yeh aur badhe

Badhta hi rahe aur phoole phale

Writing these prophetic lines when the West used to say , “If you don’t toe the line, we will delay the free wheat” , required an injured pride that can only be dreamt by an artist. It required ballsy guts to say that when India progressed the world would follow her.

I suggest that the movie ‘Purab aur Pashim’ requires scholastic study to read the brilliant mind of Manoj Kumar to think of this screenplay at a time when the it was drilled into our genetic makeup of the older Indian generations that anything coming from the West was the word of God and India’s validation comes from the approval of those having fewer melanocytes in their epidermis living in dark, wet cold nations.

The audience in the 70s were overawed by the London fountains , gardens and infrastructure shown in the film. The present Indian generation will see this movie with different eyes.

In my younger days, I could not understand the political statement being made by the filmmaker. Early in the film, the ‘language war monster ‘, which is rearing its head again , was deftly handled by Manoj Kumar. In one song, the lyricist compares Indian to be a newly wedded bride who has crossed 20 years of age , wearing a tricoloured blouse ; and she requires to be nurtured and protected. During that time , when there were serious doubts on the fate of this country, writing these lines was sagacious, and full of confidence on the inherent strength of our countrymen to tide over the defeats and humiliations of the past.

The film, as a typical Manoj Kumar film, is endowed with brilliant camera angles. The half-mirror reflection scene in “Purva suhani aye re “ is an example. Another one is the hero framed by temple bells in the later half of the film. At a time when left secularists held the power, it was a path breaker concept to show our ancient culture replete with “raghupati raghava raja Ram “ and “Om jaye Jagdish hare “ in addition to taking the entire film unit to London to glorify a economically poor but a culturally rich nation of the 60s and early 70s.

I request every Indian to watch this film , and those who have seen it to watch it again, to discover gems that had been overlooked and analyse this film, especially in light of the emerging vibrant force , fuelled by 150 crore aspirations.

Can a single successful movie boost an actor's career even after several box office failures? How does that work?

 Amitabh Bachchan started his career with Saat Hindustani- National award but a major disaster. Anand became a cult hit but he had a supporting role. Followed by Bansi and Birju, Sanjog, Ek Nazar, Raaste ka Patthar, Parwana, Saudagar etc. All failed.

Then came Zanjeer. And everything changed. A flop hero with 11 flops ready to go back was given a new lease with a film which his own parents refused to watch because they felt it was a stunt film. Eventually Zanjeer resurected the career of Amitabh and paved the way of his stardom.

Mithun Chakraborty started his career with a National award winning Mrigya. But his next films failed and he was relegated to B grade. Mera Rakshak and Mera Sansar were average, Prem Vivaah and Tere Pyar me were disasters. He even acted as background artists or guest roles in films like Dp Anjaane, Mukti, Amardeep etc. Then a low budget spy movies Suraksha came out of nowhere and became a major hit. This film not only gave ample work to Mithun it made a popular pairing of Mithun and Ranjeeta who went on to do around 25 films.

Saif Ali Khan was utterly flop in the 90’s. He started with a flop Parampara, followed by another flop Pehchan and gave a below average Aashiq Awara to end the year. After giving two hits in 1994 with Akshay Kumar, he couldn't deliver a single hit between 1995–98. He was considered a poor actor till 2001 when his career turned with Dil Chahta Hai, a cult classic which showed his impeccable comic timing and suitability in urban roles. This success was followed by Kal Ho na Ho in 2003, Hum Tum in 2004 and Salaam Namanstey in 2005. They reinforced this image set up by Dil Chahta Hai and he finally found a footing in films.

What were the mistakes of Devasena in Baahubali?

 Devasena is, no doubt, an amazing character in the Bahubali franchise! She is a warrior princess. She is brave, strong, intelligent, powerful, kind, independent and generous.

She was just and powerful.

She never kept quiet when she knew something wrong was happening. She has lots of will power and patience!

However, Devasena too commits mistakes which lead to severe consequences. First of all, she was very rude to Shivagami.

She openly insulted Shivagami and Bhallaldeva in court. As a result, Bhallaldeva killed Amarendra Bahubali but didn't kill Devasena. Instead, he tortured Devasena for the next 25 years till Mahendra Bahubali rescued her. She didn't know what Shivagami had gone through in her life hence she challenged Shivagamis authority. This made Shivagami angry, and created friction between Shivagami and Devasena. This led to the death of Amarendra Bahubali and the sufferings of Devasena by Bhalla.

She challenged authority. She always called Mahishmati as an empire without hearts (because she didn't like the way she was treated). I'm not saying Devasena was wrong; I'm saying that she could've expressed her feelings without being so rude and without humiliating Shivagami. She could've soflty told Shivagami that she was wrong in deciding that Devasena should marry Bhalla without even considering whether Devasena was interested in marrying Bhalla. She could've soflty told Shivagami that Amarendra Bahubali and herself are in love and she doesnt want to marry anybody else other than Amarendra Bahubali. She could've soflty told Shivagami that Amarendra Bahubali was decided King of Mahishmati and he must be the King of Mahishmati. Instead, she chose to challenge Shivagami.

This lead to this....

But Devasena patiently waited for her son to rescue her.

Her patience, gave good results in the end.
