Indie Rise And Ever-lasting Impact | Editor's Pen

Not many Indie movies make a good impression on people. Thanks to some good reviews and word of mouth, Love, Wrinkle-free is set to break the tradition. Why this happened? Over years, people have started watching ‘small’ budget movies. They drop their reservations and try to share popcorn over a movie with no known name. The only USP of such movies is their story. Remember Pyar Ka Punchnama. If the movie clicks with the audience, they want the tickets. Finally people can forget about stars and focus on what cinema is all about.

Last few years have been really disappointing. We have not seen many good works by superstars. Best of the lot were anchored by likes of Naseeruddin Shah, Vinay Pathak and Irrfan Khan. The trio Khans and the Kumar failed to deliver anything worth mentioning. Aamir got a 3 Idiots but was that really awesome. It was fun movie resting on shoulders of a superstar but cinema? I liked Swades more than Ra.One. I liked Phir Milengey more than Dabangg. I liked Raakh and Sarfarosh more than 3 Idiots.

Its not that I don’t like fun filled 3 hours in cinema hall. Comedies will rank high on my list of movies. Still, the comedies like what being served over big names is more crass than value. I wonder if SRK saw the final of Ra.One or not? I am not sure how Aamir missed all sms jokes we used to share in school and college? They were shamelessly used in 3 Idiots. Over all this, any day I would prefer a light movie like Chashme Baddoor. I guess I am not alone. Box Office reports of LWF cements my faith in people.

Thanks
