Realism On Screen | Editor's Pen

Hi Friends,

Recently two films released – Jobs and Madras Café. This weekend Satyagraha saw the screen. Indian collections of these three films won’t be able to match comedy extravaganza by Rohit Shetty – Chennai Express. However, in pieces, they will leave impact. Tragedy is that none of these three would remain in public memory. Regarding Madras Café, I might be wrong because of the political connection it has and point of view portrayed. These films have a problem – something you won’t feel in Mississippi Burning or The Social Network.

Realistic films are tricky romances. You overdo it and before you can realize, novelty is ruined. One need to balance between what people know and what people want to know. One need to realize that too many things can confuse people especially when plot has references to real world. One can add score of subplots in like of Golmaal and Chennai Express, no one will notice but you cannot do the same with Satyagraha. Remember what happened to Rajneeti?

Anyways, this edition has an exclusive interview with Raanjhanaa fame Swara Bhaskar. Show love.

Wishes
Sujoy Ghosh
