Hi Ramu,
if selfish means Caring supremely or unduly for one’s self; regarding one’s own comfort, advantage, etc. How does altruism exist.
what i mean to say is human being, to be specific all the altruists will do all their social work or whaetver because they get ’self’ satisfaction or to gain ’self’ happiness, which is again should mean selfish, but this is termed as selfless. why is this ?
you said some days back “I am most selfish person I have known”.
but the truth is every living being is utterly selfish which is accepted by very few.
Santhosh
Sholay: An accidental success.
RGV”s AAG: An intended failure…
I have always believed that had there been no SHOLAY, people would have had different opinions for AAG, and most likely the reverse one than what they hold now!.
(however, aag is an inspiration so no sholay = no aag, what a paradox!)
Hehhee RGV…………..

Ramu – Recently I met a girl and nicely, decently and respectfully expressed my honest and raw feelings towards her… She also very nicely said NOOOOOO and also respectfully gave me a honest comment saying – I was a “pervert” …. what to do Ramubhai ???? Please suggest me a good pick-up line which worked for you ???
RAMU – THIS IS REGARDING WATCHING A MONITOR AFTER A SHOT
I observed that in one of the Making of RANN photos, you and AB sr. looking at the monitor after a shot.
I assume that in early 90s till mid 90’s this system or technology of watching the shot in a monitor was not there in Indian cinema. I find the expressions made by the actors were by sheer instinct or reflecxive -action than method acting. Even if they make errors in expression or body language, it does not look delibrate.
Dont you think these monitors bring a sense of artificiality than improving the quality of the scene??
@Arun,
Your gal friend doesnt have any work ? :P
A girl says that I am your chamcha. What to do?
Ans: You tell her that I am your vessel.
Hats off to your sense of humor. Why dont you write an article on woman ? I would be the most interested guy to read.
namaste ramanna,
i was 1 year 17 days old when your first movie shiva released.it is a well known fact that the movie went on to become a big hit and u even won the nandi award for that film.i know your dislike towards awards.my question is were u like that even in 1990.did u not attend the nandi awards function???if so,how did u tell this(that u will not attend the function) to the guy who invited you to the award function.did u tell him bluntly that u will not attend the function or did u reject him politely???i am asking this because,six or seven years from now when a FILM BY BHANU TEJA releases and when i win an award as the best director for that movie even i want to emulate u and tell the guy who invites me that ‘i will not attend the function’.i just wanted to know the way u refuse these kinda invitations.
p.s:i’ve called u ‘anna’ just as a mark of respect to you.even i like u,dont want to get into any sort of relation with anybody in this world and i really loved calling u anna and will continue calling u so.
ika selav anna……
Ramu gaaru…
I am eagerly waiting see your reply about OSHO……….
I have already asked this two times……
And I am asking you again…..”HAVE YOU EVER INSPIRED FROM OSHO BOOKS?? WHAT KIND OF IMPRESSION THEY HAD LEFT ON YOU..?? DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING FROM HIM??
I have been asking these questions because many of your statements and replies remind me of OSHO…
A girl says that I am your chamcha. What to do?
Ans: You tell her that I am your vessel.
LOL!!!!!!! yes…..I shall do that…!
ramanna,
i consider that u designed director’s character in the movie rangeela based on your real life experiences.i have few questions regarding this
1)did u ever look into the camera when its lens were closed??
2)did u ever screamed CUT when there was no shooting goin on
3)did u ever had the kind of experience the director’s character had with heroine’s mom??
4)did u behave in the same way the director in that movie behaved with the producer
5)were your expressions the same(a kinda of ‘i know already expression’)the director’s character in the movie had when his first movie released and was declared a hit
6)i think u dont consider the indian directors as your competitors.r u a fan of spielberg and consider him as your competitor??
ippatiki inne anna questions, malli gurtu vaste appudu aduguta….
unta anna
@RGV
ANR told you to thank telugu audience for making SHIVA a big hit.
You told him that the audience should thank him for giving them a good movie.
What was ANR’s reaction for this?I don’t think anyone dared to speak against him.
@RGV
What was the role of Sadhashiv Amrapurkar in COMPANY? though his role was choppedoff in final version.

I think no one can copy HITCHCOK better than you do… i donno if i am right or wrong ,i feel that your camera movements,focus on particular objects,etc.. are copied from HITCHCOCK
Ramu,
i want to tell you something about your collectistic approach. You wrote that ‘west is superior than east”.
How can you say this stuff if you are into ayn rand’s philosophy. The biggest positive side of ayn rand is her denial of ‘collectivism’.
In the essay ‘racism’ [ the virtue of selfishness], she says that ‘collectivism’ is the most crudest ethics of all time.
How can you say west is superior and we are late imitators if you are the biggest fan of ayn rand on earth..?
There is million of morons in asia and west. There is millions of brilliant people are also there on both sides. If you want to categorise things [ as means of 'collectivism'], you can categorise them as brilliant and dumb people. not like est and west.
I don’t know whether you know or not, the world’s greatest filmmakers Francis ford coppola,george lucas,sergio leone and quentin tarantino are the biggest fan of Akira kurosawa who is from japan; in your language he is an easterner.
Coppola once said ” Every filmmaker may have one or two masterpiece but kurosawa has minimum seven or eight.”
Geroge lucas’s “Star wars” plot is taken from Kurosawa’s “hidden fortress” which lucas himself admitted.
Sergio leone’s first and ground breaking western ” a fistfull of dollars” was a poor remake of Kurosawa’s Classic “Yojimbo”. [ kurosawa wrote a letter to leone saying " I saw 'fistfull of dollar, it s a good film but its my film". Kurosawa later filed a case againt leone and won]‘
If you want to compare the quality of it yourself, just watch “Fistfull of dollars’ and “yojimbo” back to back.
Quentin tarantino says he is much inspired by the ultra violent films of ‘Takashi mike’ to make his own films.
“It all started with one japanese filmmakers named Takashi Miike”. – tarantino, a kill bill interview
Hollywood studio system is a heaven for morons. All the much talented directors like Coppola, Lucas, Tarantino, Rodrigues, Spielberg, Martin Scorsese are really against studio’s approach of filmmaking and they all have started their own production houses to make the films in the way they want it to make.
The trillions of western film flooded from Hollywood Studios are the biggest crap you can ever see on screen.
After the movie brat generation and tarantino cultl, where are the new cult in Hollywood. Nobody is there to make a change. Coppola still make a revolutionary film “Youth without Youth” but what these youngsters in west are doing..?”
I can tell you the new cult of directors in india are far more than this age hollywood filmmakers.
By the way, tamil films “Subramanyapuram” and “naan kadavul”[ i don't think much about his movie] are selected for rome film festival of this year.
When it comes to manirathnam, Just check how many international film festival hounoured him . A man who makes ‘Die hard 4″ is far inferior than manirathnam in easthetics.
Do you still embrace the crude collectivism and say west is the best…?
There are only intelligent and dumb people out there, No west and east.
You wrote that you didn’t watch Satyajit ray’s films.
You never have told ay of these bullshit if you watch the first movie of him “pather panjaali”.
What do you think of Govind nihlani’s “Ardh saty” and “Drohkaal”
“Drohkall” was far more earlier than “Infernal affairs’ and “The departed”. When kamal haasan remade this movie in tamil as “kuruthipunal” it just became another masterpiece. Just watch it before you say these kind fo stupid comments.
By the way, the only film which got martin scorsese an oscar is a remake of a Hongkok film “infernal affairs” [ in your language, an eastern film].
Plase don’t think anymore like east is inferior and west is superior kind of nasty crap if you are into your own Swamini ayn rand’s philosophy.
you have born and brought up in india but you love america. Can i explore the psychology of it..?
“Indian were slaves for centuries. but even after they got the freedom, they are slaves mentally and think anything which belong to west is superior. Indians insulted me first but now they are coming to me just because western people begun to join my commune and these guys are merely imitating ” – OSHO, Dhammapadha, the way of Buddha.,
P.S : Tell me the secret how you can beleive in Ayn rand and stll say that you are a schizophrenic mix of peter keating and elseworth toohey. Will it not hurt your thinking..? Will it not hurt your self esteem as a man..? Will it not affect even the meaning of youe existence..?
How can you live happily with a feeling that you are a second hander..?
….You are a difficult puzzle to me…when i think i am unlocking it, it gets more complex…..Nietzche was far more than this, i think…..
….Regards, Vaishak…….
a few words missed in typing :
You are a difficult puzzle to me…when i think i am unlocking it, it gets more complex…..Nietzche was far more better than this, i think…..

6. Have you ever donated your blood?
Ans: I won’t even donate my sweat.
Thank u RGV…. I thought of asking about your sperm donation??
Bit rich donation na.. ha ha ha
@Vaishak Nambiar
Hi bhayya
what a hammer stroke on RGV… will see his reply
Dear ramu,
World’s greatest novelist who wrote “Brothers Kamarazov” is an asian, Fydor dosteovsky.
“If i have to study anything in psychology, it is only from Dosteovsky” – Fredreik nietzche.
The greatest philospher Nietzche said this and you still count asian people with your own less informed state.
and its a fact that one can only see other people’s brilliance if his brain is already equipped with that degree of intelligence.
There is a lot of great novelists i malayalam whose works are selected as ‘greatest reference of the art, NOVEL by british and american libraries. MT Vasudevan Nair and Vaikkom muhammed basheer were those writers. They wrote great novels from their own experience of life not from copying anything and mixing it [ as you do for a living].
Please don’t asses everybody with you own information level.
Please try to widen your information borders, then you will not stumble into these kind of stupid statements.
P.S : I know i am making an effort which won’t hit it tagets but still in felt like to write it you…Thanks…
again typing mistakes :
P.S : I know i am making an effort which won’t hit it tagets but still I felt like to write it to you…Thanks…
@surap
thank you sir….but whatever i say, those words will not make any changes in ramu’s approach. he don’t want to throw his ‘Peter Pan” status..what to do…?
Regards, vaishak…
QUESTION : who is the director whose face and stare always are in opposite direction
ANSWER : rgv
How can a person like you bring out such beautiful emotions of a woman in such a tender way in the song “Alupannadi undha” in ‘Gaayam’?
Ans: Hello! For your info I never met anyone who is more tender than me towards women.
What is a woman according to you?
Ans: She is the greatest creation of God as long as she does not nag, does not tell you what to do and does not expect you to talk after sex.
So is this the tender feeling u have towards women??
I think two questions are kinda similar…but your answers seem contradictory
RGV,
27. What is a woman according to you?
Ans: She is the greatest creation of God as long as she does not nag, does not tell you what to do and does not expect you to talk after sex.
hahahahhah…you are killing me man. hahahhaah….I can’t stop laughing. hahahaha please stop it. hahahahaha ….I already told you to stop it. I can’t take any more could you please stop.
I am With You vaishak!
8. What would have happened if Ayn Rand and Nietzsche fell in love with each other?
Ans: For sure they would not have had children.
because she is butt ugly…. thats a fact, no “hard” feelings, anyone.
25. Do you think filmmaking is an art?
Ans: The finest.
film making is not an art in itself.. it is a combination of many arts – acting, make up, cinmatography, choreography, writing etc etc – RGV in lakshmi talk show
but combining all of them is in itself an art and a very fine art as you corrected yourself in the above answer.
19. What do you say about Jesus Christ?
Ans: I am not into Gods without muscles and weapons.
who said Jesus does not have weapons? he has two really long nails in his two hands and one in his legs….. plus a crown of thorns on his head..now those are serious weapons dude. thats why he is called the savior : hahahahahaha
11. What are your thoughts on Satyajit Ray’s films?
Ans: Never seen any.
good since once you see the you will seriously feel inadequate.
1. You will be very sexy if you were a woman.
Ans: I don’t know about being sexy but surely I will know better than a woman on how to please a man.
BUT I WONT SINCE I AM A WOMAN AND HENCE WILL JUST KEEP ON YAPPING.
6. Have you ever donated your blood?
Ans: I won’t even donate my sweat.
But i donated one sperm and got a daughter created. Btw,that donation was not by intent but by accident.
6. Have you ever donated your blood?
Ans: I won’t even donate my sweat.
But i donated a sper*m and got a daughte*r created.. but it was not by intent but by accident.
10. What if my talent is not useful in any field?
Ans: Invent your own field
but even if you dont have talent for inventing your own field, then become a film producer and finance my films…
“My quest is to understand the core of that instinct so that I can ride on it instead of it riding me.”…….also the movie POKIRI sports a dialogue like dis…… “naakedaithe bhayamo mundhu adi cheseyatam alavatu”
“How can you live happily with a feeling that you are a second hander..?” – Vaishak.
Brilliant.
Of all the shit that RGV has churned out so far (from him head and mouth), this whole east vs west thing kinda got to me too. But reading all his posts so far, he seemed too much of a lost cause. I have mentioned this earlier too – reading his blog feels like watching a grown man (who once had a chance at humanity) falling apart in front of a huge audience and yet believes the delusion that he’’s glorious. :-(
@Vaishak Nambiar,
Jai Ho. You just did your job now wait for the accident. Ramu will come back and say to you I just said that for EFFECT and take it easy.
RGV,
What is the Craziest thing you have ever done in your life? Not related to movies and obviously not related to ‘AAG’. I mean in your personal life.
Ramu Garu,
Now that i’ve told my girlfriend that you are very tender towards women and you believe that woman is the finest creature she asked me to meet you as soon as possible for which she denied previously and also asked me to get her your phone number….WHAT TO DO????????????
@Vaishak
the way u have written goes to show the analysis skills u have …..that was brilliant mate
on 16th june 2008
40. What happened to Shabari?
Ans: – It is ready and would be released by September
what the hell has happened to shabari….or is it released and didnt even get noticed by us?
@ Vaishak..
I think your off..for some days.in this blog..but u r back with bang!!!
I think once RGV in his MRR said “Vaishak, Why r u thinking so much take a beer or pepsi and just chill”(not exact frame..I dont remember the exact words)…
i think u took this to heart, utilized these days and prepared well to hit RGV very hard with your words…. :)
@ bloggers and vaishak
people ….rgv is just a person…not god …dont expect him to be perfect…
he says most things for effect….cmmon ….hes the guy who made sarkar…and hes the guy who made aag…
so chill…at the end everything is paradoxical…

You have reached a position wherein you can talk anything paradoxically contradicting about whatever you perceive think feel.
Compared to the refinement of thought process you attained in twenty or so years becoming a filmmaker the guys who are straining their mental circuitry here in understanding your flux might be trivial for you to play with
Some are attempting to become like you but poor guys they are not able to grasp that you are telling truth when you are lying and you are lying in telling the truth in the name of EFFECT
I remember you saying that at one stage you were afraid of getting slapped by your grandfather in expressing your viewpoint to him but know you are free to bitch-about anything and you are playing with the minds in transition here…and as you I am also enjoying the revelry

good one vaishak… you wrote exceptionally well….
especially the end..”I know i am making an effort which won’t hit it tagets but still I felt like to write it to you…”…. i dont know and i am not sure about the other points of yours but this one is BANG ON… you are definately not going to hit the target. because i read rgv’s answer to question the other day..
Q. You live in a fools paradise.
A. Yes. And that is better than your intellectual hell.
so you decide where you are vaishak…
btw, its not a comment.. i am just trying to understand people and their insights here..
VAISHAK,
oh my goddd ,What are u ? a man or encyclopedia ? i salute u r knowledge but…
RGV is correct ..because what u r saying is regarding “individuals” and what RGV is talking about is regarding “SYSTEM”
U may pick a lot of successful individuals of east who are imitated by west,but RGV is talking more abt EAST SYSTEM imitating late from WEST SYSTEM and following blindly….
RGV is talking abt SYSTEM/ INDUSTRY not INDIVIDUALS…
So its he is correct..u dint understand him properly…east always imitate west…
EXAMPLE 1
if yoga is invented by ancient indian , latest west will discover its miracles and practice it and then east will imitate west and practice its own invention…
EXAMPLE 2
We call our own industry with WOOD suffix..BOLLYWOOD,TOLLYWOOD , KOLLYWOOD etc..see AR Rahman …everyone calls him great a lot after he achieved oscar..we realize based on WEST CERTIFICATES….Even AR Rahman himself changed his opinion a lot on himself and got emotionally shaken with permanant hangover….Can west ever understand the greatness of hardcore indian traditional creativity…only when they feel great abt what they can understand abt east only then we believe that we are great… “we” is again not individual …the max lot..
EXAMPLE 3
Whites are extremly high standard in appearance and so they get fashion ideas such as TORN JEANS which wud suit their appearance making a balance of overall appearance ..but many east blindly follow and they too wear TORN JEANS etc and look like beggars
EXAMPLE 3

When was the last time you have been to Temple or place of worship?
note this scenario..
10 people are having tea at a tea-cafe… after they finish the tea, those 10 people will have 10 different opinions on it.. depending on their individual levels of intelligence which they will use to assess the taste, ambience and all…so finally we have 10 different opinions..so no matter what the other 9 think… the “1″ will always have an opinion which may sound intelligent, normal, foolish, dumb atc., to others.. but the point is… is that so called “1″ going to care of the “OTHER 9″..?? NO. “1″ will always have an opinion.
Now what am I doing here..??? I am trying to learn the way the minds of “10″ are working.. again its my pichchi.. cant help guyz.
Ramu,
I think that scene in Satya” where bhiku and satya kill Gurunarayan is one of the best scenes ever filmed. Everything from the mood to the location to the background score to the acting is perfect. I am very curious to know where you find actors like Manoj Bajpai or Kaykay menon or KK Raina or Zakir Hussain and bring them into films.
I fell in love with the movie “Satya”, I’m watching it twice a day. Especially, these scenes
1)Near the sea where Bhiku and satya decide to kill guru narayan
2)The killing of gurunarayan
3)The threat to the music director
I have also observed that the person who is captured and killed by the Mhatre gang during the shootout at Malhotra;splace wears a cross in the scene after he is caught. Obviously, it might be your way of telling that God didnot help him….
@crazy_kiran,
After reading your comments on Vaishak’s comments. I realized your user/login name suites you well.
Just take is easy.
For ‘Rakta Charitra’ What frame of mind are you?
Most of the acknowledged masterpieces of cinema are adoptions of novels – Godfather, Jaws, Exorcist etc. Why not adopt novels? Or remake Yandamoori Veerendranath’s Vennelalo Aadapilla where chess grandmaster hero (and audience) never see the heroine?
@Vaishak

Bhai, it was indeed a very thoughtful and planned outfit that you wrote…3 cheers!!!
———————————————————————————————————————————————
You have given the names of so many successful directors of ‘west’ who said they got inspired by the work of Akira Kurasowa.
Can you tell me few names if possible of the ‘easteners’ who admit that their work is actually inspired or copied from west? i can give you one: Ram Gopal Varma…
———————————————————————————————————————————————
Everyone on Earth who know music knows Michael Jackson and there are billions of them who die for his music and his dance. But he’s hated by many others for all the accusations that involve him. So? if it comes to me to decide which cup of tea i want, then it’s up to “me” to decide…i go with MJ as a performer. similarly, i go with RGV, the director…not the person.
Cheers!!!
Vaishak….
You are talking about Akira Kurasowa as a director, right? you don’t know him and am sorry there’s no chance of knowing him as a person. i don’t know about him either.
But, the point is, there is a chance that you or anyone could contradict with Akira if he had a blog like Ramu, given he expresses his opinions bluntly.
So what’s the point???
Both him and Ramu are successful directors in their own ways…..
Both can be not so successful persons…
It all comes down to what cup you want???
@Vaishak
Your whole point of argument (or debate) is about ramu saying that we are imitators..
Lets explore a little truth that earth is round.. and in a way.. even Japan will be a western country for us. I am definitely sure when ramu said.. west is best.. he meant.. that INDIANS specially do not consider themselves as better thinkers and try to copy others(east or west) and make it our best outcome because our community (most of it) is not technologically advanced to know the origin.
be it Mani rathnam or vamshi or satyjit ray, or pahlaj or rgv or bapu or karan johan.. or tarintino for that matter.. have always been inspired from someone..
one place we (indians) lag behind is, we missed every opportunity to make others (east or west) our imitators.. coz our thought process is that.. pickup the bestest and make it our best.
Thats why we still see.. in MNCs.. when a white skin pass by .. we go silent.. our managers alerts… we suddenly become formal.. and people still die out in the us embassy line..
hope a day comes when an american stands in the indian embassy line and gets rejected..
so i agree.. we are cheap imitators.. (we include the world)
@ Jonah bhai…..I was about to write what you wrote…but anyways I will continue where you left

@ Vaishak (also called as Vishal by RGV)
As Jonah said, it is not the question east vs west. It is the question of
1) Indians vs outsiders (includes east, west, north, south, central) in general
2) Indian film makers vs outside film makers (includes hollywood, tokyowood, beijingwood, koreawood, germanwood, sandalwood etc)
I need not explain point number one as crazy_kiran and Jonah have explained pretty much. I would like to add certain points
You have mentioned that Drohkaal was made earlier than Departed (or The internal affairs). I agree. In addition also strongly believe that neither Hong Kong Directors nor Martin Scorcesse might have watched the movie. But what about movies like “Where Eagles Dare” which deals with a similar subject set in second world war. Do you mean Govind Nihalani copied it? (I strongly believe that he might have watched “where eagles dare’)
You have mentioned that Manirathnam has more aesthetics than the director of Die Hard 4. But you need to remember that it was the same Manirathnam who copied Godfather and made it to Indian senses using Varadarajan Mudaliar as the backdrop. Believe, if there was no Godfather, there would have been no Nayagan. and the evidence of this is so many scenes which are :inspired” from Godfather.
It was the same Manirathnam who made Yuva using the concept of Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction where several unrelated stories converge at one common point and take off from there.
You have mentioned that Manirathnam was awarded in several international film festivals. I did not understand why you wrote this statement. If you think Indian film makers are equal to or superior to outside filmmakers where is the need to showcase why he received so many international awards. Deep in your heart even you have some inferiority feeling compared to outsiders.
There are so many international film festivals and a country like Zimbabwe also has “Zimbabwe international film festival” in which Manirathnam’s “Kannathil Muttamittal” received an award. Now it does mean that Zimbabwe might have better quality directors that Manirathnam had to receive an award from them and add to his resume.
As compared to several international film festivals, why does India has no famous film festival to its name (I am interested to see Delhi international film festival, Mumbai FF, ChennaiFF, Banglore FF, Hyderabad FF….where are these). Even now we (including vaishak) talk about international film festivals such as Berlin, Cannes, Toronto etc etc. In future if there is a film festival in Dhaka or Karachi, our people would even praise those film festivals.
Neither your Govind Nihalani nor your famous Satyajith Ray nor your aesthetically rich Manirathnam cared about making a film on Gandhi. It was some outsider (Richard Attenburough) had to take pains to make a movie on Gandhi. On the contrary, a director like Shekkar Kapoor made movie on Elizabeth. Yes. the same Elizabeth whose Britain made Indians slaves for years and years. Eevn now Shekkar Kapoor has proven his slavery and loyalty to Elizabeth.
Why do people like Vishal Bharadwaj make movies on english novels such as Macbeth (Maqbool) and Othello (Omkara). Why cant Vishal Bharadwaj make movies on so nay novels which received Gnanpeeth Literature award. When he made a movie “Kaminey”, the same Indian aesthetically rich Indian directors started commenting that “Kaminey” is our answer to Tarantino. I did not understand why to compare and answer Tarantino?
You are highlighting one individual Akira Kurasawa and saying that other directors like Spielberg, Coppola, Scorcesse, Leone, Lucas etc inspired from him. May be true. So what? I am sure that the new breed of Japanese directors such as Tanaka Yojima, Sasaki Murata, Takahashi Isemura, Shizen Ishimoto would have been greatly influenced by Speileberg and Scorcesse. These new breed of Japanese directors made some good movies which contains hollywood trademark. You need to watch their movies and then talk.
You are talking as if Akira Kurasawa was born in India. Believe me, if you show our horror flicks to Japanese they would laugh on us when compared to “Ringo”. Likewise, they enjoy Rajinikanth movies in Japan. Does that mean that whoever made Rajinikanth movie is a great director. I felt even “Dalapathi” (by Manirathnam) was a boring Rajinikanth movie. It has no new story other than a story of Karna (Rajini) and Ravana (Mammoty), mother Kunti (Srividya) and brother Arjuna (Arvind Swamy).
When Raj Kumar Santhoshi made the movie “China Gate” he dedicated that movie to Akira Kurasawa (You can see in the opening scene of this movie). Why did not he dedicate this movie to his guru Govind Nihalani?
I am not saying outsiders are superior but there are majority of things where we cheaply and lately imitate outsiders.
By the way neither I live in Fool’s Paradise nor in Intellectuals Hell. I just live in a place called “AUTO”nagar, in Hairanper City of Befikarabad district in CinemaPradesh State.

There are a lot of greatest creations of God who do not nag, do not tell you what to do and do not expect you to talk after sex. They are also usually confident, independent, successful women! I am surprised you haven’t come across some of them in Mumbai! If you did, you really wouldn’t have the same opinion about women which reflects in your blog.
Everyone sets certain rules or principles in their life biasing to their affinities but not all people stick to those rules and specially for RAMU it is whatever works for him at a moment becomes the rule, for that moment ..no fixations so he will contradict himself in his talks to others in whatever way he wants unless it does not affect his reaping of benefits from others he wants to…
@ Auto Jaani……..
Bhaijaan….I completley agree with you…..in some statements like vishal bahardwaj..why he is making to prove as Indian Tarantino..and Mani got awards in Zimbabwe movie film festival….
but u mentioned that GANDHI movie is made by some outsider Richard attenborough…not by our Stayajit ray or Mani Ratnam….
See boss in india movies are 80-90% commercial business…If you see Gandhi’s movie budget its some 100 crores ..in those days (1980’s)…and as you know its very far reach to our indian directors and producers ….and for foreigners they can release worldwide and they can get what they have spend….becos they have brand name…outside…
If that budget would provide even our JD chakarvarthy can make that movie (He planned to make movie on Gandhi..but shelved that in middle…may be cost constraints).
So If mani can make a movie on Dhirubhai and Vardaraja..don’t u think he is capable to make movie on Gandhi..? ofcourse “Yes”…again the budget comes here…if he released that in India frankly tell me how many people will see that …may be the Cosmo people…in MUmbai,Delhi,Banglore,hyderabad..etc…I can guarantee that they even didn’t get the cost of prints in rural India….
And you can say…why cant they add commercial aspects like songs and fights in the movie….it works well while making movies on people like Dhirubhai and Varda..but comes to gandhi..people will not digest Gandhi singing songs in some garden….
If you take “Gandhi My father”…produced by Anil Kapoor..can you tell me how much that earned in B and C centers…it was very well made movie…but its flop in terms of commercial aspect….
So first our people mindset have to be changed …
1) For producers …like investing in technical aspects..not on other like so called sets and graphics (Mostly South Producers show off that we spent some 3 crores on that set and blah blah…. )
2) poeple watching movies …becos most of the people in India spent for entertainment..want to relax for 2.5 hours.. Do you think Akshay Kumar is a very good actor??but he is doing some 100 crores of business..with his mindless comedy…..
And Why Shekar kapoor made movie on Elizabeth? again the same concept……
He made movie Bandit Queen right..how much that earned in India?
If that was a hit in commercial aspect..then he would have made a movie on indian queen….”Maharani Gayatri Devi”..just kidding..;)
I’m sure that there is talent in Indian directors..but they need support from people and producers…
@Autojaani
bhayya
Making of Elizabeth Movie does it senses any slavery or loyalty towards Queen Elizabeth…
It was just an art… some one making a film on Hitler, doesn’t mean that he/she okaying the Nazism…
whose ever making films, whether they are Western or eastern film makers, generally they will try to produce movies to reach their own target people( western/Japanese,Indian like wise).as you said”if you show our horror flicks to Japanese they would laugh on us when compared to “Ringo”. If movie has got an universal element definitely it reaches wide range of regions. Here my point is whether they are western or any other films, they made for certain target region.
all we are just forgetting the market issue in this regard..If really Indian cinema has such a huge market, surely our producers will make films on par with Hollywood..and you may point out me that Akira’s work in small Japan’s cinema market. he is an exception one. More over Akira’s work will not reflect entire Japan’s film culture.
The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits…does ramu have any limits?
If you see Gandhi’s movie budget its some 100 crores ..in those days (1980’s)…and as you know its very far reach to our indian directors and producers ….and for foreigners they can release worldwide and they can get what they have spend….becos they have brand name…outside…
@ Pradeep Maddali,
I was expecting this question from someone for sure. It was you.
Here is my answer: It is not 100 crores budget because Indians have capability of making grand scale movies like MUGHAL-E-AZAM, JODHA- AKBAR. In B/W era Mughal-e-azam was made on unthinkable budget. In Current days Jodha-akbar and even a stupid movie like Magadheera has high budgets.
regarding your example of “Gandhi My Father”, it wont suit Indian common man senses. It is not because it doesnot has any songs or dances. because it doesnot has any action or violence. This is the main reason.
On the other hand, people like movies like Bandit Queen, Nayagan (based on Varadarajan), Company etc where there is action, drama, violence. Common man likes these (I personally like them)..
On the contrary, Munnabhai MBBS or Lage Raho Munna Bhai which has Gandhi backdrop were hits because there was some action/drama/comedy added to it. If it is just a preachy movie wherein Sanjay Dutt plays a school teacher preaching Gandhi’s principles, it would be a flop for sure. Because he was a gangster, common man connects to himself.
@Pradeep Maddali
Jaani bhai, i was about to say the same….
Pradeep bhai, i don’t think budget is an issue for an appealing film. Movies like Gamyam got released all over south India and were hits. What do you think is the budget of that film?
@ 99 Ratnakar
Yes. His own limits…where we can’t reach!!!
Subrahmanyam that was cool. The first comment of this post was the wittiest.
Ramu, if success is by accident and failure is intended, then its best to keep making films the way you want to, and not worry about the result. We all know that by know, but this attitude will stop makers from evolving to better filmmakers (even though there is no recipe to hit films).
What should the scripts contain, so that it is worth being made into a movie. Personally, I think movies like gulaal, Kite runner, namesake, etc are best being book stories, rather than made into a full fledged movie
“Indian were slaves for centuries. but even after they got the freedom, they are slaves mentally and think anything which belong to west is superior. Indians insulted me first but now they are coming to me just because western people begun to join my commune and these guys are merely imitating ” – OSHO, Dhammapadha, the way of Buddha.,
@SURAP bhai,
Regarding your question on my comment on ELIZABETH – slavery – loyality:::: I was specifically answering to this above mentioned statement posted by Vaishak.
Now the question I want to ask Shekkar Kapoor is did he insulted us or is it slavery or it is just a path to grab world’s attention or what is it?
OSHO said now Indians came to him just because west came to him? then why did Shekkar Kapoor went to west to make that picture?
“Slumdog millionaire” is based on a novel by former Indian ambassador Vikas Swarup. Then why did not a single director came forward to direct it? now the so called prestigious Oscar went to outsider ! ! !
@ Vaishak Nambiar
You have mentioned “Subramanyapuram” and “Naan Kadavul”. I agree they were good movies. But if you get time please watch another Tamil movie by name “ANJAATHEY”. The actors are Narayanan and Ajmal (I guess you know Ajmal) and directed by Siddique. Please watch it.
For my story that I am working on, I already got “inspired” to take some scenes from this movie…….
I strongly support Ramu…
i believe that everyone(me, Ramu and all other folks) have certain understanding capabilities, intelligence levels, psychological levels etc etc……
Whatever Ramu says needn’t be right/wrong/true to me and all others and vice versa.
So, he told what he had to. It’s up to us to like it, dislike it…as we do with his films…
Can anyone tell me the name of a person/thing/place/movie/…/.. that is Universally liked/accepted?

@ Vaishak Nambiar,
I forgot to mention one main thing:::: This is far more important than what I wrote above
RGV neither follows Ayn Rand nor follows Nietszche. He only admires their works. He extracts, from the, whatever is uitable to his life. Remember, the main philosophy of RGV is NOT TO HAVE ANY ISM or ANY PHILOSOPHY
@ Vaishak Nambiar
I agree with crazy kiran and auto jaani regarding your comments on RGV’s ” West is superior than East”
You misunderstood the statement, he mean civilization or system. I don’t that RGV have a misconception of individualism and collectivism.A civilization or system is mass of individuals just as atoms constitute matter. Without having individual freedom of thought,no civilization developed.Have you imagined any kind of freedom in India before the advent of British. With English education social reforms began in India.Upto that time India was a hell of its caste and religious politics.Of course British looted India and many things, they have ability. We lacked unity and strength to defeat them… of course it is hell of history. After English education only, India began to develop. The great Indians from that time began to accept our faults and build India with the help of British. With out those great Indians,our country wouldn’t have been like this.
Now India is running also because of these people. Our education system, the language, technology, science everything we have taken from west. Just because it is truth, they first achieved it, we are taking it or imitating it or any way you can take.
You mostly mentioned Japan and Hong Kong filmmakers. I don’t think indian and chinese or japanese civilization is same . And the author of “Brothers …..” is russian, an east European.
@ bhanu teja
Mr.Bhanu (the Nandi award winner for best debut film director of the year 2015):
Are you working as co-director / asst. director to somebody in Tollywood?
If you are so sure of making a film in Tollywood (I am not sure of your Nandi award, leave alone your vocabulary for rejecting it!!), you should be either having some blood relations in the industry and maybe belong to the K-community or simply a fool.
If you are of the impression that RGV is a fan of Spielberg and gets inspired from him, that shows how ignorant you are. What’s your opinion abt Spielberg ? Do you think that there are no other greater directors from USA or Europe or Japan that inspire Ramu? Spielberg is a tiny tip of ice berg of the mammoth talent this world has in filmmaking and its relative arts like writing, music and screenplay. If you feel that Spielberg is the one and only greatest director of all time, your intelligence / sensibilities resembles those movie lovers / industry who made a Rajamouli / B.Gopal successful. It is people like you who believe that Shiva is the first and last good movie made by Ramu since it’s a huge money grosser and powerful film (hero bashes all goons kind of stuff like Magadheera / Samarasimhareddy)
RGV will have a good laugh when he reads comments as yours and come to a conclusion that we are all morons. If you cannot truly acknowledge / match the highly informative and quality comments of others like autojaani, vaishak and others in this blog, you better post your junk in S.S. Rajamouli’s blog (I don’t care if he has one or not). Please don’t post your junk in a highly quality blog like this.
P.S:-
1) If you have the money power, industry big-wigs backing, lobbying & conning ability and belong to K-community, I won’t be surprised if you really win the Nandi in 2015 !!
2) I belong to the K-community.
3) Sclinder’s List, Amistad and The Color Purple are my favourite movies from Spileberg but I don’t rate his high budget, commercial, sci-fi / action, hyper CGI movies as cult classics or master pieces – although I ‘like’ them.

Yes India also gave number system, yoga , ayurvedha….. gave to the world. these were developed in buddhist india after the time of asoka. no developments after buddhism declined in India.
The great Buddha born in India, but rejected Buddhism as a result of caste poltics. Because at that time caste abolished, equality, freedom is in the society. Great universities were built. some how we lost it.
Until the west came , we are in deep hell and dark ages. With the contact of west only we again going forward with the knowledge and wisdom of west.
what RGV mentioned is this … as a civilization. You mentioned japanese and chinese filmmakers. they are not indians….and they have taken what we rejected buddhism.( here I dont mean buddhism as a religion… it is a social policy.. a great paradigm shift in ancient india.). You cant compare India with Japan.
And the greatest thing we had taken from west is freedom, equality and science.
“we have to take truth from where ever it is”
Ramu – Lot of Indians (who r substitute of Easteners) seems to have gotten offended with your earlier comments… each one of above is taking the whole weight on their own shoulders representing the entire East.
First of all the known world is very little .. not everything is written in history books or can be heard on street or news .. in fact very little is written in history books, and that too very manipulative and in the individuals perspectives … who are we to judge others…?? …
Ramu – You made a stupid comment by comparing the entire east with entire west .. which doesn’t make any sense to me.. it’s toooo vast to generalize people by dividing the planet into two halves.. and my fellow bloggers (including me) are also stupid enough for analyzing your comment
@ pradeep reddy,vim,sheshu,Pradeep Maddali ,Manoj Odela,baba,Narender
Thank you friends…..but i wanted to tell you that i don’t have to do any research to write what i wrote. i wanted to write it on the first day ramu wrote that stuff. But i thoughts telling him these things would be worthless because he has a certain agenda and he would bend anything to match that agenda. so i hated him for saying east is cheap imitators. I felt it like the pre independence british propaganda. after that i changed my mind and decided to write it because if i write it my anger will vanish. if we try to hid something in our subconscious, that will come out later with multiplied power. i didn’t want to hate ramu so i wrote it.
@all folks…(to name few,,, Jaani bhai, Ratnakar bhai, Surap bhai, Vaishak bhai…..)
Of many things that eat my mind, i want to ask one..which i feel is appropriate in a way…
“Had we not had the Independence, would India be a better country than what it is now?”
(i feel yes, prime example Hong Kong)….it’s not a debate, i just wanna have ur opinions….
Cheers!!!

1. Manirathnam’s Nayagan is a original which is a remake. Mani never copied it. Its called inspiration in cinematic language. i don’t know whether you know or not “nayagan” is the only indian film which has got a place in TIME’s best 100 movies ever made in the word. [ I am writing the 'TIME' stuff to convince you and impress you on my point because i know you see west as superior people. otherwise i dont need anybody's certificates to love and know that movie is great]
The godfather is also in that list. Can you show me a single remake of a film get place in the 100 best movies list along with the original one. That is because of its class. Its not a mere copy. Don’t say that it was a copy to please ramu.
When i say the example of International film festival, i rate those festivals are the non biased film judging festivals. Its not my love for westernizes. If you are a movie buff, you would know that cannes and toronto film festivals are not the festivals of crap hollywood films.
Now comes the biggest blunder from you side.
“either your Govind Nihalani nor your famous Satyajith Ray nor your aesthetically rich Manirathnam cared about making a film on Gandhi” – Auto jaani.
Ha ha ha….what is this compulsion..? is this the mental illness named “Obsessive compulsion neurosis”. There is no rule that a director should make a film on “gandhi’ if he is creative. Don’t say such stupid comments.
A film makers will only make film which inspires him. Tarantino is a great film but he only makes crime films. will you tell that he is not great because he is not making a movie on Abraham Lincon or mother teresa. That is an individual decision of the film maker. you can’t put certain rules like this. What if mani or for that matter, Govind nihlani not believing gandhi or they believe in Subhash chandra bose. Will you still push them to do a film on Gandhi. Brother, india is a free democratic country.
Next blunder from you :
“It was the same Manirathnam who made Yuva using the concept of Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction where several unrelated stories converge at one common point and take off from there.” – Auto jaani.
This statement proves that you are an apt disciple for ramu, who only have half baked understanding about things.
First of all i understood that you don’t even understand a bit of “Pulp fiction”.
“Pulp fiction’ is using a non narrative pattern. It is designed like book-starting chapters and book ending.
The stuff you wrote about several unrelated people converging” kind of narration is pioneerly introduced in Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece “Roshomon” which released in 1950. he film won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and also received an Academy Honorary Award at the 24th Academy Awards. This is film which introduce kurosawa to western audience.
Manirathnam is the biggest fan of kurosawa on earth along with coppola,lucas and tarantino. So style of “Yuva’ is taken from “roshomon”. ”
I am sure you don’t even analyze that “pulp fiction’ used a different style not this one…
@autojaani,
and i know that new breed of japanese directors influenced a lot of moron hollywood director to make ultra violent,horror films.
Takashi Shimizu got a red carpet in hollywood when he directed a simple horro film named “Ju-on: The Grudge”. Sam raimi watched the movie and loved and invited shimizu [who cant even speak english] to make the movie. Why on earth mr.raimi hire a director who can’t speak english. Its just because of his capability as a director which your today’s hollywood morons don’t have.
@ auto jaani,
Do you know that Tarantino ’s Kill bill is a remake of a 1973 Japanese film ” Lady Snowblood,”. its also partly inspired from “Samurai Reincarnation “. did you see tarantino shows “shaw scope” logo before starting the movie “kill Bill”. its his tribute to shaw brother hongkong kungfu movies….
@autojaani,
do you know that Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” is a direct lift from “city on fire” [ a chinese/hongkong film by Ringo lam- Lung fu fong wan [original chinese name]…..
Do you want Eli roth’s hostel ’s japanese inspirations…?
My jaani, you will sweep over your feet if you see the original version of these movies….darling..!
Best regards,………..Vaishak……….
@ autojaani,
You may have watched hollywood movie ” Magnificient seven” and may have loved it. Its a poor remake of Kurosawa’s “seven samurai”.
Ramu is posing as Ayn ran’d biggest bhakth on earth, the he should hate collectivism as hell and don’t touch it as shit. A real ayn rand fan can’t tell such a stupid statement as “west is superior than east”. On that matter whether he talk about individuals or system, it can’tve approved.
I am not a big fan of Ayn rand. But i think she has written a very good essay in this stuff named “racism” [ The virtue of selfishness]…
Best regards,………….Vaishak………
@autojaani,
How did you know and confirm that Govind nihlani watched the film “Where Eagles Dare”” ..
Is he your room mate..?
and The original of departed is named “infernal affair” which means “Hellish affair”
You mentioned it as “internal affairs” which can be a name of a soft porn movie.
When did i say “Infernal affairs” is inspired from “Drohkaal”. i was stating that the same idea which got found by nihlani is used by other good film makers too.
“anjaathey” is not a very good film when it comes to my standards and its director’s name is not siddique . His name is Mishkin. The actors name is not naaaaraaayanan. Its “Naren” [ this guy's original name is sunil and was an assistant cameraman on rajeev Menon]
Its “Naren” [ this guy's original name is sunil and was an assistant cameraman of rajeev Menon]
Regards, vaishak…..
P.S : why can’ you make a film on Gandhi and Be a patriot Jaani darling..?
Vaisak,Do you google all these facts or you have them on your tips.
How do you rememebr all these things man!..I am very impressed dude.
I even liked the way you questioned ayn rand’s philosophy!.
I dont have all that knowledge But I enjoyed reading evrything You wrote.
You are awsum man.

@autojaani
Mnairatnam’s Yuva’s concept is a rip-off from Amores Perros, a mexican film and not Pulp Fiction!
I know this is a trivial in ur argument there, but wanted to correct!
@pradeep reddy
No pradeep, I don’t have to Google it up to get the facts. I have seen all these movies long before..
anyway thanks for comments…getting response from people is a very happy thing for me….thank u so much…
with love…vaishak……
@ Bezawada,
I am sorry to say that you are mistaken and you have no idea about film making. I have seen both ‘Amores Perros” and “yuva”.
I know you are refering to the non linear pattern. You are making the same mistake jaani made. “perros” is in non linear pattern and “Yuva” is not. “yuva’ style comes from “Roshomon”.
Bezawaada, Do you know what is a rip off is…?
Rip off is copying a film scene by scene. The whole idea of “Ameros perros” and” yuva” are entirely different. then how can you say its a rip off….
Are you a moron…?
with love…Vaishak……
RAMU IS NOT A PERSON
RAMU IS NOT A DIRECTOR
RAMU IS A “THOUGHT”
RAMU IS A “BELIEF”
IF YOU DINT GET THIS THOUGHT U WONT BELEIVE…
AUTOJAANI, SURAP ETC…WE ALL SHUD FIGHT FOR OUR BELIEF TO JUSTIFY OUR IDENTITY…ATTTTTTTACK VAISAKKKK !!!! HA HAHA..just joking
VAISHAK , DONT DEFEND ASIANS SO MUCH …BEFORE THAT WE ARE INDIANS ..AND WHEN IT COMES TO GROUPING WITH INDIANS , REST OF THE WORLD PREFER ONLY 2 GROUPS …..INDIANS AND NON INDIANS….SO DONT COUNT ON ASIANS
Dear freinds,
see u in the evening. I am feeling very hungry and want to have lunch…..Thank you….
VAISHAK
WE THOUGHT U ATE LOT OF OUR BRAINS ?? HOW COME HUNGRY ?? HA HAH…take it easy
@crazy kiran,
i am seeing the world as one entity. not as west and east. but i can’t tolerate if somebody attack my origins [ Being a very patriot Indian unlike Ramu].
I love sensitive and intelligent people and dislike ‘ ego filled morons’…
with love……….
@Nambiar
dont take offense, but you need to bring your shit together before talking dude.
I’ve said, “Mnairatnam’s Yuva’s concept is a rip-off from Amores Perros, a mexican film and not Pulp Fiction!”
If you can see, I was talking only about the concept that was ripped-off. You are right that rip-off is copying, but I was talking about the concept dude.
In Amores Perros, there is an accident to which three stories are linked just as in Yuva. Ain’t the concepts similar??
I accept that I haven’t heard about this Roshomon ever before, I dont care.
Btw, Do you even know what a non-linear pattern is?
Hope you ain’t a MORON!
more love

when u see whole world as one entity , how come this indian origin and indian patriotism makes sense ? wake up from this emotional hypocracy….urs is all hidden ego …anyway what do you mean by u r patriot…deny indian scars ?
@5. Do you think filmmaking is an art?
Ans: The finest.
Then Ramu, why do you make commercial films? Don’t you think making commercial films is an act like cineboard painting in ‘finest’ sense? I hope you all cineboard-artists understand what i mean. As long as you all reject Tarkovsky’s approach towards film making (or even by being ignorant of his work), you guys would always remain cineboard artists only. Be happy with your univesre which you also call the ‘well’ If Nietzsche comes back and watch your films and Tarkovsky’s, definiteley he would enjoy Tarkovsky’s films rather than yours. Thats only b’coz of the content.

To the war of wor(l)ds regarding east vs west superiority… my two paise on it..
if one takes a particular time period (say 1000 AD to 2000 AD) and then say west is superior to east in this time period, yes it is a valid point.. but across all time periods, one cannot make the argument that west or east is superior.
People go to two extremes. One set talk about the vedas, ayurveda, yoga etc and talk as if the whole of science as we see today has been a product of the vedas only and that all science and philosophy that exist in the world stems from the vedas – nothing can be further from the truth and these are jingoistic statements.
Similarly saying that the west gave the world all the science and philosophy is equally abdurd since the west did borrow a lot of “early” scientific concepts from the east. In fact the earliest civilizations grew in the east – call it middle east, south east or far east.
West followed east during the earliest times and now east follows west. Am sure with the growth engines in the east like Korea, China etc, there will be a time when innovation will start off in the east pretty soon.
So what drives innovation be it in philosphy or science? KADUPU NINDA THINDI (meaning, a satisfied belly).
There are so many historical factors over a period of time which led to a gradual decay of eastern societies – lending substance to the argument that what goes up has to come down… it has to do with historical baggages… italy, once the great roman empire is not as developed as germany. germany was once the home of the germanic tribes – uncivilized hordes…similarly eastern europe, once the seat of the great byzantine empire is nothing compared to it’s past.
Plus add to all this, there is always one big driver or primemover that pushes a nation or region to glory.
The first and foremost driver which propelled man to start civilizations has been agriculture. Again to what is aid -kadupu ninda thindi being the reason for people to spare time for other pursuits.
Agriculture gave man the much needed surplus which allowed him the time to develop tools and societies.
The very reason why India could come up with the vedas and the epics is because the society back then had very less population (leaving the unfortunate untouchables class) and agriculture in fertile lands helped them to attain civilizational glory.
Similarly industrial revolution helped england and europe. Democracy helped europe in a similar way.
So east is east and west is west and neither can YET take the crown of superiority.
@Ramu
When can we expect to see AGYAAT-2?
We are not talking abt RGV here :( …..
we are all reacting to someone called VAISHAK
HEY GUYS JUST CHILL……….RAMU ONLY FOLLOWS BRAIN….ISM.
btw, it is a FACT that indians make f**k all movies… now dont show exceptions as they dont make the rule.
Wow! it is getting more interesting with all sorts of bigotry
(starting with A for autojaani to V for Vaishak Nambiar)
But you know what Ramu lagaake chode deta hai aur maaza leta hai lagJaaneki bus aur kuch nahi
“She is the greatest creation of God …..” So u believe that GOD exists?????????
This conflict of thoughts is what that fuels the run of the world without conflict we would be like chickens laying eggs(thinking or thought process) all are same and god would be the owner of the poultry farm :-)
And having conflicts in life makes the show worthful.
Here is an interesting riddle about diverse visions:
why did the chicken cross the road?
Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference
Aristotle: To actualize its potential.
Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn’t cross the road; it transcended it.
Woody Allen: You see, I’ve always thought about that. I mean, was it running from its father or mother or dead aunt, perturbations of repressed memories, I don’t know, I have to think about it some more.
Jack Nicholson: ‘Cause it fcuking wanted to. That’s the fcuking reason.
Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-nature.
Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road
Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you.
Hi Morons:
Enough of BSing about the things that have happened in the past around the world.
Why dont someone as genious as Vaishak comment abt Dec 21st, 2012 doomsday predictions?

neosapien why do you think i do what you do..
nobody can change anybody’s thinking i am not taking sides pimp..
to my friend marty
1)i don’t have the money power and industry big wigs backing
2)i don’t belong to k-community
3)i don’t consider shiva as the greatest ever movie made by rgv.infact,i prefer satya and rangeela to shiva.
4)i wont acknowledge the so called quality comments of others becos i am least concerned about others.
i even dont have such time in my life to react to others comments as you have in your life
6)i dont consider spieberg to be the greatest director of all time.
7)yes,my vocabulary is not good
8)and, finally i am not working under any director.infact, i am still pursuing my engineering
so what???can’t i aspire to become a director.i just could not understand the reasons y u have inserted your fingers into my shit hole.who the hell r u to advice me to stay away from this blog.is this ur abba’s blog or did ramu appoint u as his spokesperson.
coming to spielberg, i have asked that question to ramu,only becos the guy who played the role of director in rangeela always keeps mentioning his name.
and i dont mind if ramu laughs at my comment and thinks me as a moron coz even i laughed many times at his comments and thought him to be a moron.
and coming back to u i think u r the dumbest person in this blog.i atleast have an aspiration of becoming a filmmaker and u dont have any work to do other than commenting on others comments.i am like an rgv who makes movies and u r like the reviewer who does not have the courage to make a movie instead try to gain by criticizing others.
to say it in ramu’s words i atleast try to climb ladder whereas u sit at a corner and criticize others who fall from the ladder trying to climb it.
and, i dont mind being a rajamouli coz he is the only director to have 100%success rate and rgv himself has praised him.
i basically dont like to give any advices but i would like to throw one to u as to not to keep fingers in others assholes and smell it as your entire hand may get filled with shit and others may avoid coming to u becos of the smell u generate.
and i continue posting all the junk and if u have the patience to read it and take it in its true spirit do that or else please keep u r front hole and back hole shut and mind u r work.
i basically dont react to others comments but u made me react to ur comment and for that i think u shud feel proud of yourself.go and tell to u r friends that BHANU TEJA has reacted to my comment.
p:s:i really enjoyed u r comment and i kept laughing after reading u r comment and i want u to continue posting u r comments and entertain us.u r infact,the joker of rgvzoomin.com
watz wrong y was my comment not posted
To whoever it might concern
i do not care to bother what any half mind says and if any sadoo thinks he is right or wrong in spitting his venom to release his heat off in abusing me it does not make any difference
i remain what iam and will become what i want to be
ramu or anybody else is not my concern i am talking about thought processes and if any fcuking freaking idiot thinks abusing someone does any benefit to them then he is the ultimate !@#$%^ (whatever your intellectual idiocracy can think of)
@neosapien (he/she ?)
do not think i am doing what you think you desire to do
if you have such a compelling urge go for it and do not blame me in between
i do not see people but their thought process as their identity and if you me or anyone else thinks anyone else to be intellectual insane or moron or any freak it is ultimately your perception from your perspective but not the person’s …
if a moron calls me moron do i become a moron?
i become moron by the consequence of the actions i choose to only when they fail irrespective of my accordance why me? it applies to anyone
i do not believe in using abusive language to brood like a so called moron does…
dear marty
i just cant understand the reasons y u have inserted your fingers into my shit hole.i didnt ask u for pleasure then y have u tried to provide me with pleasure.who the hell r u to advice me to get away from this blog.is this u r abba’s blog.or did ramu appoint u as his spokesperson.i dont belong to any of the categoeries u have mentioned in u r comment.i’ve asked ramu about spielberg only because the guy who played the directors charecter in the movie rangeela keeps mentionig his name.and for u r information i dont consider shiva as the greatest movie made by rgv infact,i prefer satya and rangeela to shiva
i wont mind if ramu laughs at my comment and considers me to be a moron as even i laughed many times at his comments and considered him to be a moron.
and i also,wont mind becoming a rajamouli coz he is the only director to have 100%success rate and rgv himself has praised him.
and coming back to u i consider u to be the biggest fool in this blog who doesn’t have any work to do other than commenting on others comments.
i believe u r like a film reviewer who does not have the courage to make a movie whereas i am like rgv who has the guts to make a movie.saying this in rgv’s words i atleast try to climb the ladder whereas u sitting at a corner try to analyze everyone who climbs the ladder and u yourself does not have the courage to climb the ladder.
i basically dont like givin advices but i would like to throw one to u as to not to keep u r fingers in others assholes but instead finger u r own asshole.
i keep posting all the junk and if u have the patience to read it and take it in the right spirit do that or else just shut u r front hole and back hole and mind u r own work.
i basically dont react to others comments as i am least concerned about others and i dont have such time in my life to react to others as u have in u r life.infact,u shud feel proud of u r self that i reacted to u r comment.go and tell to your friends that BHANU EJA has reacted to my comment.
and finally,i am not working under any director and i am currently pursuing my engineering.

Take top 10 films of 2009 from India (or Asia), and take from Hollywood (or West) and see.
Take top 10 filmmakers of the decade from India (or Asia), and take from Hollywood (or West) and see.
And while Korian, Japanese, Chinese, and Iran film are some of the worlds best, while Satyajit Ray, Mani Ratnam, Adhur Gopala Krishnan, K Vishwanath, Balachandar and some of the new filmmakers of Bollywood made some original master pieces, while some of the Bengali and Malayalam subjects are the worlds best, its not all. The percentage is very less. The percentage of bad movies is more. The number of cheap, copy movies are more.
Its not all, but its the most.
MY REACTIONS TO RAM’S REATIONS..;)
Have you ever donated your blood
Ans: I won’t even donate my sweat
MOST UNDERSTATED ANSWER…U WANT TO DONATE LOT MORE THAN UR SWEAT OR BLOOD… U WANT TO SPEAD UR WISDOM WHICH I THK IS THE GREATEST OF ALL ..having said that i ALSO feel i am too good and i am trying really hard to see good in a very very very selfish person.
Why don’t you act?
Ans: That’s the only thing I do in real life so in films I stick to direction.
WOWWOWOW….EVEN RGV HAS TO ACT IN REAL LIFE… GREAT SO NOW I DONT FEEL GUUILTY I ACT SOMTIMES …

I LOVE THIS LINE.
How can a person like you bring out such beautiful emotions of a woman in such a tender way in the song “Alupannadi undha” in ‘Gaayam’?
Ans: Hello! For your info I never met anyone who is more tender than me towards women.
TENDER AND U … WTH A LAUGH. HMMM…… U DO REALISE ITS ALL AN ACT DONT U .
What is a woman according to you?
Ans: She is the greatest creation of God as long as she does not nag, does not tell you what to do and does not expect you to talk after sex.
THEN U SHOULD LOVE MEN .. THEY ARE EXACTLY WHT U LIKE:) THEY DONT CARE ,THEY DONT KNOW THERE OWN MIND TO TELL SOMETHG SENSIBLE AND THEY SLEEP AFTER SEX.
it may seem difficult for u to understand but still let me explain… men use their superior strength to handle difficult situations women use their tears …. where men use there bull headedness…. women mostly nag to get the work done…men can only do one task.. women multitask .. thats y they can talk even after sex.our world is soo men dominated tht even ppl like u who are otherwise wise seem to become blind. they judge women… they dont see tht we use the resourses available to us… women seem manipulative cause.. we cont hit someone we need to manipulate them. we nag because we dont get wht we want cause its a men dominated world so nagging irritates a mans simple mind and we get wht we want.
GANDHI wanted to live for his principles and I wanted to die for my principles.

‘I felt even “Dalapathi” (by Manirathnam) was a boring Rajinikanth movie. It has no new story other than a story of Karna (Rajini) and Ravana (Mammoty), mother Kunti (Srividya) and brother Arjuna (Arvind Swamy).’
Good one autojaani……..but small correction in the above lines.
Mammoty’s character is Duryodhana not ‘Ravana’. Ravana is from different epic, hope you know the difference between Ramayana and Mahabharat.

RGV,
Had you not told anyone that you wanted to make remake(inspiration) of sholay and made RGV ki AAG as a normal movie, my gutfeel is that if not a success it wouldnt have been a failure. I think its more of expectations and comparisions that determine success and failure in creative field most of the times.
Hmm..the blog is getting as dramatic as RGVs movies as oppose to the shallow ManiRathnam and Karan Johar movies.
RGV,
U wouldnt have seen Satyajit ray movies. Neither did I. But too much westernisation and flaunting it isnt great buddy. West always derates Indian industry as a bunch of copycats who copy english movies into Indian languages( Its a fact too). Dont u think we should answer them rather than doing their bhajan?
saala rgv ka ek comment logon ko deewana bana detha hain.. he just said east are the imitators of west… and we’ve got so many comments and knowldge from all the folks here..
thank you @autojaani, @vaishak nambiar, @pradeep maddali, @surap, @narender, @jonah… etc.,
but i liked this line from autojaani though.. “By the way neither I live in Fool’s Paradise nor in Intellectuals Hell. I just live in a place called “AUTO”nagar, in Hairanper City of Befikarabad district in CinemaPradesh State”
@ All those who discussed indian films vs western films or similar subject (Vaishak, autojaani & some others…)
Originality is not the only factor which categorizes any film as a ‘good’ film (speaking about standard of a film). The film in totality should stand as a high standard film. Like Vaishak mentioned that quite a few of good hollywood filmmakers have been influenced/inspired by Kurosawa, or any other, every filmmaker has some inspirations – could be from other filmmakers, or movies or books or whatsoever. Nothing negative in it. But when these guys, example, hollywood filmmakers make even a remake of any movie, they still maintain their individual style, identity in it.
The intention of making movies in hollywood (talking about good filmmakers) is to make ‘good’, sensible movies whether it is a remake or original. Whereas, the intention of making movies in bollywood (talking about almost all filmmakers) is only to make commercial success, conveniently discarding the true essence of movie as an art. It is very easily possible by making those same shitty ghisa-pita movies because indian audience likes those kind of masala movies that make no sense, leaving their brains behind at home, just for a full 3 hour fun-watch in theatres, only to see the hot bodies of the “heroes”and “heroines” or to laugh on cheap slapstick comedy or whatever nonsensical romantic stuff. I dont know why the indian filmmakers feel that the indian audience is such a fool and this is what they like to see. All they need are handsome John Abraham and beautiful Katrina Kaif and just a crappy chalta-firta masala story around them, irrespective of any other aspects of filmmaking. This is enough to prove their intention and attitude towards making movies which is purely commerce and nothing else. Indian audience have no choice but they want entertainment, and since they have been served only these kind of movies, having digested the fact that they will get to see only these kind of movies and no other, they go to theatres, pay and watch crappy movies. And at the end everyone seems to enjoy them since most of the people cannot differentiate between a good and bad movie anymore, also due to lack of movie knowledge.
So it is not the fault of filmmakers entirely. Inspite of making such crappy movies, all these movies earn loads and loads of money. If people pay and go to theatres for such movies and enjoy, it means that everything is fine, that the audience is happy, the filmmaker is happy (popularity) and production company is happy (money), and that the film industry works perfectly fine. It means that there is no need for something extra, because all parties are happy. There are no complaints, no one stops going to the theatres. And I understand that commerce is an important part of movies. There is no art without commerce because commerce is the driver of progress.
The thing is that film industry fits the audience and not vice versa, this is the rule. If we continuing watching these bad movies, they will continue making such bad movies. The only way to bring a change is to let the filmmakers know that we are not interested in such kind of movies. And probably the only way to let them know is to stop going watching their shitty movies. But I guess this is next to impossibility, because Indians love Indian movies and irrespective of how the movie is, they would still watch it. Basically, it is a vicious circle.
So, even if everyone wants the filmmakers to make better movies, it wont happen because no one will take a step back, and it would become the same excuse as corruption: when people say corruption will never stop. But like the govt. serves us and not vice versa , we pay the money, we enjoy the film and the film industry serves us. So, we are the ones who have to attempt to bring the change, instead of just complaining!!!

do you give the written form of the script to your actors? or you just narrate it orally? Is it necessary for a new director to know how to write the script? do you write your script or somebody will write it for you?

@ Vaishaak
Seeing your response, all I can say is you have responded in a highly emotionally excited state.
>>>First of all, i can observe that your aim is to please ramu so you would go and take points to support his points.
My analysis: This is a very cheap interpretation of from an intellectual like you.
>>>but i want you to remember that ramu loves people who hate him not people who pamper him.
My analysis: This indicates that even you want to please Ramu with your hatred/attacking post to Ramu.
>>>No i want to state some mistakes and stupidities in your comments:
The way you wrote “mistakes and stupidities” indicate that you were in emotional excited state. Other thing I remember is that you got emotionally excited even when RGV called you Vishaal instead of Vaishak. Keep cool Vaishak saab.
>>>Manirathnam’s Nayagan is a original which is a remake.
My question to you: what does this mean? If it is a remake, how can it be called as original?
>>>Mani never copied it. Its called inspiration in cinematic language.
I think you are true fan of Manirathnam. You are calling his “copies” as inspirations.
>>>i don’t know whether you know or not “nayagan” is the only indian film which has got a place in TIME’s best 100 movies ever made in the word. [ I am writing the 'TIME' stuff to convince you and impress you on my point because i know you see west as superior people. otherwise i dont need anybody's certificates to love and know that movie is great]
The point here is not me liking west. The point here is why did you quote TIME? Why did not you say “Manirathnam was listed as top 10 directors in INDIA TODAY or FRONTLINE? What was the need for you to read TIME magazine when you have INDIA TODAY? The way you took this TIME example indirectly implies that you are more fond of TIME than INDIA TODAY, although you do not agree?
If You are not bothered about any certificates for Manirathnam, why did you proudly said that he was awarded in many international festivals?
>>>The godfather is also in that list. Can you show me a single remake of a film get place in the 100 best movies list along with the original one. That is because of its class. Its not a mere copy. Don’t say that it was a copy to please ramu.
Vaishak, again you are mentioning here that Nayagan is a remake and there was no other remake in that list? When you say “remake”, How can it be an original. Please don’t learn English from an autodriver.
>>>When i say the example of International film festival, i rate those festivals are the non biased film judging festivals. Its not my love for westernizes. If you are a movie buff, you would know that cannes and toronto film festivals are not the festivals of crap hollywood films.
My analysis:: Now it became non-biased film festivals? Why don’t India has such non-biased film festivals? Why are you again quoting Cannes or Toronto something which is outside India? If Indian movies are great then why do you need certificates from international festival?
>>>Now comes the biggest blunder from you side.
“either your Govind Nihalani nor your famous Satyajith Ray nor your aesthetically rich Manirathnam cared about making a film on Gandhi…..Ha ha ha….what is this compulsion..? is this the mental illness named “Obsessive compulsion neurosis”. There is no rule that a director should make a film on “gandhi’ if he is creative. Don’t say such stupid comments.
Thank You Vaishak. Today I learnt a new term “obsessive compulsion neurosis”.
>>>A film makers will only make film which inspires him.
I agree with you and Let me add some more point to this. A film maker makes films which inspires them or if they inspired from other movies. Just like Manirathnam got inspired from Akira Kurasawa to make non-linear/non-algebraical/non-statistical movie like Yuva. Now, If Manirathnam could get inspired from Kurasawa, whats wrong if Speielberg, Tarantino, Lucas got inspired from Kurasawa?. This is called CHAMATKAR – BALATHKAR-SYNDROME which means that whatever you do is chamatkar and whatever others do is balathkar.
>>>Tarantino is a great film but he only makes crime films. will you tell that he is not great because he is not making a movie on Abraham Lincon or mother teresa. That is an individual decision of the film maker. you can’t put certain rules like this. What if mani or for that matter, Govind nihlani not believing gandhi or they believe in Subhash chandra bose. Will you still push them to do a film on Gandhi. Brother, india is a free democratic country.
My response: I wrote the exact same thing while answering to someone named Pradeep Maddali. Read that comment.
>>>It was the same Manirathnam who made Yuva using the concept of Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction where several unrelated stories converge at one common point and take off from there.” This statement proves that you are an apt disciple for ramu, who only have half baked understanding about things.First of all i understood that you don’t even understand a bit of “Pulp fiction”.“Pulp fiction’ is using a non narrative pattern. It is designed like book-starting chapters and book ending. The stuff you wrote about several unrelated people converging” kind of narration is pioneerly introduced in Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece “Roshomon” which released in 1950. he film won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and also received an Academy Honorary Award at the 24th Academy Awards. This is film which introduce kurosawa to western audience. Manirathnam is the biggest fan of kurosawa on earth along with coppola,lucas and tarantino. So style of “Yuva’ is taken from “roshomon”
My analysis: It is not Half-baked knowledge. I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE—ALL I KNOW IS NOTHING. The example I have given was to indicate that even Manirathnam gets inspired from others. Again I am asking the same question:: If Manirathnam could get inspired from Kurasawa, whats wrong if Speielberg, Tarantino, Lucas got inspired from Kurasawa? Why are you called Spielberg, Tarantino etc etc as dumb Hollywood directors. If that is so, then I would consider even Manirathnam is like that.
>>>How did you know and confirm that Govind nihlani watched the film “Where Eagles Dare” Is he your room mate..?
The point here is I was mentioning that “mole” concept movies were made even before Drohkaal. Since you has asked such a stupid question if Govind Nihalani was my room-mate, let me answer you stupidly. The answer is “once Nihalani traveled in my auto and during that discussion he told me that. He also paid some extra money”
>>> “anjaathey” is not a very good film when it comes to my standards and its director’s name is not siddique . His name is Mishkin. The actors name is not naaaaraaayanan. Its “Naren” [ this guy's original name is sunil and was an assistant cameraman on rajeev Menon]
I accept. Thank you for correcting me. In the flow I wrote it as Siddique. It is Myskin. The actor name is not Naren. It is Narain. This is a silly point to argue. To my standards “ anjaathey” is a good movie. If you did not like it, no one bothers everyone has different taste.
>>>>You may have watched hollywood movie ” Magnificient seven” and may have loved it. Its a poor remake of Kurosawa’s “seven samurai”.
Vaishak, Please give some examples of Hollywood movies wich are remakes in Bollywood movies. Then I would agree Indian film makers are fantastic. Please don’t quote Kurasawa. You are shielding yourself as easterner and basking the glory of a Japan person.
When you said “I see the world as one entity”, I felt that the statement was greatest hypocrytic statement from you. If you world as one, then where is the need to compare easterners vs westerners?? If you a true patriot of India, then how can you see world as one single entity??
>>>Ramu is posing as Ayn ran’d biggest bhakth on earth, the he should hate collectivism as hell and don’t touch it as shit. A real ayn rand fan can’t tell such a stupid statement as “west is superior than east”. On that matter whether he talk about individuals or system, it can’tve approved.
If Manirathnam could be a biggest bakth of Kurasawa on earth. Why cant RGV be a biggest person of some other person. If you are taking pride in Manirathnam being the biggest bhakth of Kurasawa, then why cant Speileberg or Tarantino get inspired from Kurasawa? Is Kurasawa a sole patent right you and Manirathnam??
>>> do you know that Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” is a direct lift from “city on fire” [ a chinese/hongkong film by Ringo lam- Lung fu fong wan [original chinese name Do you want Eli roth’s hostel ’s japanese inspirations? My jaani, you will sweep over your feet if you see the original version of these movies….darling..!
Vaishak saab….whenever you are quoting the examples of Hollywood movies being inspired by Kurasawa, you are assuming Hollywood directors as idiots. On the contrary, you are taking pride in quoting Manirathnam when he got inspired to make Yuva or Nayagan. Why are using double standards here?
>>>>Do you know that Tarantino ’s Kill bill is a remake of a 1973 Japanese film ” Lady Snowblood,”. its also partly inspired from “Samurai Reincarnation “. did you see tarantino shows “shaw scope” logo before starting the movie “kill Bill”. its his tribute to shaw brother hongkong kungfu movies….
Vaishak saab…..again the same thing here….
>>>>and i know that new breed of japanese directors influenced a lot of moron hollywood director to make ultra violent,horror films.
I wrote several names of lot of new breed of Japanese directors. PLEASE DON’T SAY THIS TO ANYONE. ALL THOSE JAPANESE NAMES I CREATED AND WROTE JUST TO HAVE EMOTIONAL EFFECT ON YOU. THAT EXACTLY HAPPENED. Now, after seeing the reaction that thinking those names are real ones, I can strongly say that even you don’t have enough knowledge on Japanese directors except Kurasawa or couple more as mentioned below.
>>>>Takashi Shimizu got a red carpet in hollywood when he directed a simple horro film named “Ju-on: The Grudge”. Sam raimi watched the movie and loved and invited shimizu [who cant even speak english] to make the movie. Why on earth mr.raimi hire a director who can’t speak english. Its just because of his capability as a director which your today’s hollywood morons don’t have.
It is the same Sam Raimi who made movie like “Evil Dead”. When I was a child I greatly liked that movie. This movie “Evil Dead” started a string a horror movies nd most of them being inspired from it. Now tell me which Japanese horror cultu classic movie was made at that time.
Vaishaak….This wll go on and on….My point here is there is always some inspiration to everyone. Do you know from whom Kurasawa got inspired? All are intellectuals and all are idiots in someway or the other.
hello mr.rgv
when is rann getting released? approximately

@ Vaishaak,
You wrote::I love sensitive and intelligent people and dislike ‘ ego filled morons’…
My question to you:: If it is not “Indianness ego” or “easterner ego”, why are you spitting on hollywood directors and westerners??
Just curious to know, Vaishaak saab. I am scratching my head.
@ Vaishaak saab…one more question, please dont mind
You wrote:: i am seeing the world as one entity. not as west and east. but i can’t tolerate if somebody attack my origins
My question:: If you are so much worried about your specific origins, then how can you see world as one entity?? Just curious to know…..again I am scratching my head
No one attacked your origins or no one questions your patriotism…this is just a discussion forum.
@ auto jaani
Highly informative comments ..

@RGV
I have always believed in “Success defies everything as does failure”. Its applicable to any thing and every thing that happens either by virtue of Intent or Accident.Failure often does defy the seriousness and sincerity in intent and Success often does defy the loftiness and callousness in the Intent.RGVKI AGG defied your intense desire to recreate the magic of Sholay in contemporary terms,where as a film like SATYA defied your loftiness in going ahead with out a script during the making of SATYA.
Being powerful gives you the chance of being indifferent to the feelings of others unless u choose to respect theirs,ah?
An americal magazine described obama as the most powerful followed by……….and rated LADEN at 37.What do u mean by power?The ability to defy every rule the system imposes on you and live life your way on your own terms,ah? Then any body who does that gotta be powerful.On the basis of this,u are deemed as the most powerful according to me.what say?
@RGV
A friend of my mine told me that he finds solace in your blog.He isn’t the only one,there are lot many. Each and Every one of us have a fictitious RGV inside us,that wants to defy system,wants to express feelings with out any guilt,wants to live life their own way, finally have a will to power wanting to grab it .Is it the reason why lot of visitors out here find solace in your thoughts?what could be the reason,ah?
When u go about making a new movie,u are still a megalomaniac by instinct as u would go make a new movie the moment a thought ignites you otherwise u are a megalomaniac by thought process,ah?
Your thought process ensures only happiness all the time to any one but not success in our perception but you perceive success in being happy living life to the fullest doing what u feel like.On that account,u are always successful.That is why we see u unperturbed at string of flops that u had recently, ignoring any amount of criticism.
@ Vaishaak,
You Wrote::: Takashi Shimizu got a red carpet in hollywood when he directed a simple horro film named “Ju-on: The Grudge”. Sam raimi watched the movie and loved and invited shimizu [who cant even speak english] to make the movie. Why on earth mr.raimi hire a director who can’t speak english. Its just because of his capability as a director which your today’s hollywood morons don’t have.
My analysis:: If you think Sam Raimi is a stupid director then you should not have mentioned his name here praising Takashi because it does not make any sense if someone gets red carpet or black blanket welcome from an inferior director.
Just like you have mentioned that Drohkaal was made far before “The Departed” or “the Infernal affairs”, I would quote that there are movies like “Evil Dead” (directed by the same Sam Raimi) that were made far before “the grudge” when this Takashi guy was a small kid. To you “Evil Dead” might be a crap movie and likewise to others “Drohkaal” might sound like stupid movie.
Anyways, I liked both Evil Dead and Drohkaal…..just to mention that I rode my bicycle all the way from Secunderabad to “Sapna 35mm” theatre in Abids just to watch this Drohkaal movie.
@autojaani
Bhai, I wasn’t even born when Evil dead 1 was released. We(me & my family) watched that film on VCD and you know what….I pissed 3-4 times in my chaddi(s)….
That was awesome movie!!! but as Ramu said things change when we move on, recently about an year ago, I saw that movie again for curiosity, now you know what….I literally died laughing by seeing the movie….huhhhhh….
Cheers!!!
Hmmmmm……
……when people say that I am proud of being in this caste(kamma, kapu, reddy….), I am proud to be from this region(telangana, andhra, rayalaseema, north, south…….) etc…they are bashed, criticized…..
……then, why does everyone praises, adores, loves someone when they say I am proud to be a citizen of this country???……
Do we have boundaries? who made those? why?? why?? why??
@ all bloggers
Let’s wait and see what Vaishak has to say to this latest backlash from autojaani, guys.
Should be interesting……………
@ Seshu
Do you fancy a career in film industry instead of what you are trying for now?
Hi autojaani & Vaishak Nambiar
I do not understand whether you wanted to be proved RIGHT or GREAT in your interpretations which vary on the exposure you have be it cinema or any other stream
why are you being so rigid in your thinking?
every individual goes through thought process that could resemble with others thought process placed in a particular circumstance and there would be patterns in thinking depending on the understandability of the individual
it is ultimately the same grey matter in all the heads but thoughts and expressions vary on the perceptions of the individual which are bound to the system the individual exists
why filmmaking? every religion is an interpretation of the energy that connects all the processes of the universe simply called GOD and you would find resemblances of belief in every religion even though all intellectuals say god is one.
you could get the same idea what some one else thought of within similar frame of reference
but what matters the world is who strikes first…
anyways it was interesting to read both of your interpretations and both were exceptional
PS i do not want to prove anything here just felt like saying my interpretation :-)

Hey Surreal, instead of typing signboard-artists, you have typed cineboard artists:)
whatever it is the message is conveyed and you are absolutely right. Indian film makers are more like signboard-artists/illustrators when it comes to the meaning of cinema in it’s pure sense… that is finest of all arts. our guys are not able to comprehend even by now what ever was done in the European cinema nearly 30 years back. Like rickshaw-pullers always say that ‘cinema is meant for entertainment’ these so called successful filmmakers(according ramu…he is true in saying that ’success comes by accident’ ) go doing the same thing again and again. Hollywood is just little superior than the Boliwood in that sense!
Whatever this time comments sound more interesting than Ramu’s present post

to somebodys comment on who created and why they have created the boundaries
my question is
why did rgv and you construct a boundary wall to your houseS.
and does rgv or you allow your neighbours to fuk their wives in your and rgvs compund
the same way to protect 100 crore houses which live with same cultural identity the boundaries were created by people who belong to our cultural identity and save us from fukin foreign invaders like the morons–alexander and the rest of the fukers
THUS THE FENCE AT THE BORDER
THUS PATRIOTISM
Vaishak, Nayagan is a bad interpretation of Godfather or for that matter whatever mafia films there were… he copied quite some scenes exactly but since you are a tamilian i can excuse you for showing regional bias… maniratnam’s other movies like Bombay, Yuva, Dil Se etc are all crap anyway.
btw, RGV’s Sarkar in my opinion was an equally bad re-interpretation of Godfather, even more than Nayagan. Nayagan atleast had more realistic characters… . i wonder how amitabh in sarkar makes money since he is shown to be a saint rather than a Don…. marlon brando in the godfather only did not allow drugs because of long term ill effects of that business on his empire.. the story of sarkar just fell flat 30 mins into the movie and it was as if it was made for Amitabh rather than making it for the story.. and the whole chase scene where abhishek escapes was as if karan johar directed that action sequence.. but….
RGV is perhaps in my opinion again, one of the very few indian film makers who have the capability to reach the calibre of a Tarantino or some of Hollywood’s finest and which he displayed in three or four movies so far, notably Shiva, Satya, Raat and perhaps Company (though it is more all sleek and action than good story). But it has been a while since he made a good movie..
so leaving “patriotism” (highly hyped word) aside we have to admit that western film makers are superior to us just like western technologists are superior to us… i draw the analogy of indian software engineers to western tehnologists and indian film makers to western filmmakers.. Indian software engineers are dime a dozen but most of them dont create anything that sets the world on fire. just like how our film makers make more movies than any other industry but end up just as our software engineers.
P.S: Rajamouli the ultimate copycat shamelessly copied some of the most memorable action sequences of the movie ‘300′ and incorporated them in his ‘Magadheera’ and he is being hailed as India’s James Cameron. That shows how shallow is our creativity that we cannot think different.
@neosapien
howdy lady
good interpretation!
art craft business , finally It is all about money honey
@neosapien
hi bro u know one thing there are no western software engineers , all are from india
u know 60% of the microsoft architects are from india . without indian software engineers there is no western software company . in fact indian software engineers are already set the world on fire.
and dont compare software industry with film industry , film industry runs on directors imagination . and software industry runs on client imagination .
in software industry client will choose his options . unfortunately in film industry audience cannot make a choice in a particular film , they are just born to watch and judge.

am fundamentally against blotting out any comments as I do not mind any amount of criticism, ridicule, etc. But some of the comments here lately have become so bland, inane, boring and irritating that I am loosing interest in going through all of them so as to reach a few interesting ones.

once again well done moderator saab
Madeinandhra, understood your point regarding patriotism – that we erect walls so as to safeguard our interests – property, people etc from outsiders… but what if the rapist is within the family sitting within the house itself? like india and our politicians and bureaucrats?
it is never about money honey… everything we do – as you say-craft, art, business is for happiness… money is not the end, but one means to attain happiness.. there are way too many things that provide happiness to people and hence the complications of life… we fuc*king want all of the means to attain happines – health, money, friends, climate, fidelity of our partners, extra marital sex, beauty, intelligence, strength, power.. the list goes on.. on the other hand look at animals.. amazing creatures – they just want material (food basically) and s*ex.. thats all and hence such an easy life… i wish life is all about money but unfortunately it is NOT and hence i am unhappy because i am frickin rich but i don’t have power YET! btw i am handsome, BUT i have severe diabetes.. how i wish!!!!!!!!!!
btw, it would be nice to have an edit button in the blog to delete/edit some of our own comments
@neosapien
i think vaishak is a malayali not tamilian.
A film is not just about the premise there are lot more things to consider and no matter how diversely people interpret ultimately if an individual is capable of producing and directing his altruist idea and further if that materializes into making money then only he could make further films and survive.
Stanley Kubrick made only 13 feature films because he was a perfectionist and wanted to make films on all genre and all of his works are classics but if he would have thought his ideas to be voilating somebody’s belief system and stops then he would not have made the mark
Living beings derive and evolve, nobody says you copied your features and character from your parents we just derive and apply our own to the derived. Shakespeare’s works were made into films and it is obvious that drama is picked up from life and you would find reflections of your thought somewhere or the other in the world
just try to invent a new word from your thought and search for that word on google you will ateast find one result
criticism will always prevail and if somebody does not like something then he himself should devise his better felt solution into action and if he cannot then he can live in his sphere being a critic
and if someone thinks i am talking in resonance with rgv let them be happy with that thinking because for me ultimately words give the meaning no matter who says it
@neosapien
is it that pain becomes pleasure and pleasure becomes pain or both are different?
we connecting our thoughts with our feelings and if you take a person or an object into consideration all our sensual absorptions (see, listen,touch,smell and sometimes taste ) define what the entity means for us applying our precognition
life is about endeavoring desires and accomplishing happiness in fulfilling them but it varies from person to person depending on his how what when which where of his desires, this is what is the truth according to me
but it is good to see you not using any abuzing language thanks buddy but if you ever want to say something say it vaguely abstractly making people think in their own way without using abuzing langauge… just felt like saying :-)
for me films should not be about reality they should be about things which we cannot / cannot even dream of doing in day to day lives….all these real life stories etc i hate them…
@neosapien

hey rgv do u think that there is an end to this world someday? or will the mankind progress like this forever?
hey rgv,
what are ur thoughts on shyam benegal’s films? pls dont say necer seen any
All arts are the same. But to understand other arts u need ‘a’ brain..film-making is the easiest of all .. if it weren’t so, u would have never seen/herad of people like RVPeee, pooori Jagannath, Raj-moula-ali, karan gayhar…etc.. :)

The point there was that in 1981 almost everyone talked about Evil Dead. It definetely had some impact in those days. That was directed by Sam Raimi when he was 22 yrs of age.

I Surap, Chief Vigilance Officer of the your Crap Blog humbly submit that I got some urgent domestic work at my native place Bhimavaram, where my presence is very essential.
Hence I request you to sanction of two days leave on 15 and 16 of this month. I would also request you to appoint any other person of this blog as temporary Vigilance officer to smooth functioning of this blog.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Surap,

Do u believe in “Karana Janma”?
@Ramu,
My Confidence levels increases when i read some of your comments.
Ex:10. What if my talent is not useful in any field?
Ans: Invent your own field.
I think this is…one of the best comments..right from May 2008 to till date.
@Ramu ..
Sir,
Again the same old question…
“Please write a piece on Govinda Govinda..pls..”
I think making that movie…is very risk kind..specially in andhra…wan to know..the support u got from indutsry folks..like Nag, Aswini dutt..how u convinced them?
I guess to nullify this attempt …Nag has done Annamaya later… :)
@ Surap Bhai,
whatever may be the issue in Bhimavaram, handle it well and take good care..
@Vaishak – Thumbs up
@Auto – Thumbs down.
movies are easy to understand thats why easy to execute.

to all those people who have given all those fukin japanese and fukin hollywood names and list of fukin movie makers who made films outside india
my point is telugu film industry has been existing since 1940’s if i am correct
no need to gather the fukin crap from hollywood or fukin japanese surokowa or a fuker i cant even spell the names in the list given by the bloggers above.
before SHIVA there were films liked by the audience and after SHIVA there are films like by the audience.
u dont need to follow any fukin japanese or hollywood film maker or gain the knowledge of fukin filmmakers who make films in japan and america
just take original stories happened and show them the way they have happened.
i’m not into films and i dont watch films at all i just watch RGVS films and i take pleasure in watching and i have got a space here to criticise them if i dont like them.
as RGV told a film maker shud be like a journalist and show the real story.
i cant understand and even spell the names given by the great Vaishak Nambiar or the Greart Autojaani.
Just follow ur instincts u dont need to watch or research EVILDEAD to make a horror film a simple reporter of TV9 ,NTV,INEWS can make a good horror film better than EVILDEAD.
and u people just go through the graph of RGV or MANIRATNAM and asses how many films they have made and how many were clicked
my point is to drive a car u need to know the techniques of driving a car but not the mechanism of the car or u need not know who invented the car just follow traffic rules and reach the destination without an accident.
anyway i dont intercact with the people on this blog but my sincere advice to AUTOJAANI is not to be too honest or loyal to anybody . u seem to be honest guy but my advice is honesty or hard work doesnt pay u AUTOJAANI only smart work pays
@ madeinandhra bhai.
You wrote::: i cant understand and even spell the names given by the great Vaishak Nambiar or the Greart Autojaani.
I dont know about the names given by Vaishaak. BUT the names I have written (Tanaka Yojima, Sasaki Murata, Takahashi Isemura, Shizen Ishimoto) are all created by ME just to have some STRONG effect on my point. I dont even know if they are Japanese names/Chinese names/Vietnam names……..
@madeinandhra
all those names are just imaginery names…they are not directors nor they are autodrivers….they are just existing in this blog…..and it paid off……
so AUTOJAANI is a smart guy i was mistaken anyway lageraho boss AUTOJAANI
to be frank with you RGV S INTENT IS NOTHING BUT HARDWORK
and RGV S ACCIDENT IS NOTHING BUT SMARTWORK
will u make a sci-fi movie anytime soon?
@agyaat
how the hell did u hack my id?
@madeinandhra
madeinandhra and every body
Please take the vital point which was mentioned by Autojaani..
I know Jaani bhai bit depth better than any one else of this blog… Names doesn’t matter …
Even I knew how vaishank and his philosophical depths.. but i was wonder why Viashank responded in a such a furious way.. caz here just matter of thoughts difference not an personnel issues …However Vaishank or Autojaani never gone into Personnel issues.
I am sure how Autojaani is a nice and even Viashank also..
it was a great debate that even i couldn’t understand a piece.. because i am a small Cop similar to, who you all of you see in regular traffic junctions.
Love you boys ..
My leave not yet sanctioned so that I am here…
@Agyaat
see one horror movie .. “Funnygames” if we watch at movie just u find its a B class
but i watched it because its mentioned by RGV some where else…
There is one particular scene in that movie which every one get attention..
Please find it..
madeinandhra… why dont you post your comments in telugu? i mean telugu words written in english script if you feel so strongly for india and it’s native stuff? why do you have to use the word fu(ker so many times? you can see the word ‘dengeyyi’ which is the telugu equivalent… so stop using the language which our erstwhile masters – the british gave us
do you want to be remembered as darshakaratna/darshakendrudu/darshakadheera or just RGV?
tomorrow is my birthday rgv please wish me
@ AGYAAT, @ marty, @ Seshu
Ok Sir, Anything else Sir, Thank You Sir.
But……

hoping to see a newpost tomorow morning
Maniratnam took the concept of his movie Yuva from Alejandro González Iñárritu ‘Amores Perros (2000)’ a mexican film who also directed 21grams and Babel on that same pattern later……..
Hello Ramu, hoz your weekend ?
I know you once said – “I’m not into how is the weather, kind of conversations”. But I’m into asking that kind of questions : )
Long time no see, how are you Ramu ?
to all those supporters of Maniratnam and RGV
to all those who hate RGV and love Maniratnam
to all those who love RGV and hate Maniratnam
to all those analysts who compare the films with japanese and american fukers
my point is
RGVS films are technically sound and weak by content
Maniratnams films are sound by content and weak by technique
i get a feeling of having 180 ml RUM after watching RGVS films which gives a mild kick
i get a feeling of having 360 ml RUM after going through RGVS blog which gives a hard kick
and i get a feeling of having 1 litre pure water after watching maniratnams films
and i dont know about manis blog
as far as philosphy is concerned
i get a feeling of having 720ml of RUM after going thro the qoutes of great CHANAKYA
and i get a feeling of drinking GHMC’S nalla water after going thro the quotes of ayn fukin rand and fred fukin neitzsche

This time after posting your reactions to reactions there were rigorous vigorous eclectic and eccentric discussions and abuzings than ever before on this blog between the bloggers and after going through them….if you could write a piece on what you felt about this entire revelry it would be more interesting….
please write a piece reacting to this revelry….

BELEIVE IT OR NOT !!!!!
MANY YEARS BACK IN DREAM I GOT A THEME MUSIC WHICH LATTER TURNED OUT TO BE SARKAR THEME MUSIC…NOBODY WILL BELEIVE..BUT IT HAPPENED ….I CRIED OUT MY SHOCK TO ALL DEAF EARS!!
NOW ANOTHER …
WHEN I FIRST LISTENED TO TAMIL ORIGINAL SONG OF “MERE PAA” SONG SUNG BY AMITAB BACHHAN IN PAA…., THAT TIME ITSELF I THOUGHT WE CAN MAKE A MOVIE WITH THIS SONG ITSELF AS THEME , I THOUGHT IN TELUGU RAVITEJA WUD SUIT FOR THE MOVIE BASED ON THAT SONG THEME….NOW BALKI GOT THE SAME IDEA AND MADE PAA WITH AMITAB BASED ON THAT THEME MUSIC…
THIS IS REVERSE ENGINEERING ………
learning is nothing but copying from a book,system,individual,animal or RGV

@auto jaani,
Jaani, I have already answered your questions about Why i mentioned the “TIME” list. Its not because i think so much of the ‘TIME’ but it is to convince you who have western supremacy attitude in mind.
I mentioned mani’s awards in film festivals because Toronto and cannes film festivals have non biased juries. I already told that in my previous comment.
On the subject “learning English from a auto driver” :
I am very happy to learn from you ,things which i don’t know. I rate every job is divine since it feeds you. Please never ever let down your proffession to any guy even if he is the president of united states.
On the subjecy “how a remake could be original..?” :
I want to quote from Govind nihlani. After watching the remake of “Drohkaal” made by P C sreeram and Kamal haasan, Govind Nihlani told kamal haasan ” This is an original film which is a remake”. I never have heard such a brilliant sentence to describe this stuff. SO i am saying that “Nayagan” is a original which is a remake of “the godfather”.
On the subject “pleasing RGV” :
If you still think that the bloggers out here including me can impress,please and become his patners or assistants, you are in ” Jaani’s wonderland” [ just like alice in wonderland..]
On the subject i criticize west filmmakers :
when did i tell you that “Reservoir dogs”, “Kill Bill” or for that matter Lucas, Spielberg’s movies are inferior or bad than the originals.
I too was discussing the same case of inspiration. i was telling that Indian filmmakers get inspiration from west just like speilberg,lucas,tarantino and leone got it from Kurosawa and other hongkong directors. I told this to prove that we are not cheap imitators but still inspires from west .
I can say “reservoir dogs” is an original which is a remake. Its the same thing about “Star wars”. Just watch “Hidden fortress” , then you will know that lucas took load of inspiration from it.
On the comment that “Dalapathi” is a boring rajnikanth film:
I don’t know how you could say this…? “Dalapathi” is a masterpiece. You are the same guy who praise an average “anjaathey” to heights. WHat is your problem with “Dalapathi”…?
Tell me what you think about “iruvar”..? Is it not a masterpiece…its a modern classic…Will you show me some inspiration fot this movie rom west..? you can’t…because movie’s theme is taken from “MGR karunanidhi” friendship and enmity.
After “Bombay” film’s release, some religious fundamentals bombed at mani house and the man was hospitalize. I think this is the biggest award a film maker could get. a film fueled people to attack it’s film maker. That was the deep impact the film created.
@auto jaani
ABout my hypocracy :
i am ready to explain about in a way which i could. I love creative people,all over the world. When a guy could do better works than me, i instantly becomes his fan and want to befriend that guy. but there is another breed of people who want to pull down guys who is more superior than them.
I am really in a search of creative guys and people who love cinema, My feeling is that if i get them, we ll be talking about films all the 24 hours. I won’t get bored any single moment in my life. All of us have a lifespan of maximum 90 years right..? [ its very tough to reach 90...i am just saying it for the max number]…. In that time, if we are with people of our kind, ego less and creative, we can be happy and will life is a beautiful song….It will go very fast and beautiful….. In hollywood Spielbeg, Lucas, Martin scorsese, Coppola, John milius, Brian de palma, Paul schradder etc are big freind and they are called The movie brat generation A K A The new hollywood era filmmakers. Coppola produced the first film of Lucas “AMerican Garffiti”. Coppola and lucas united again for Micheal Jackson’s Captain Eo. Speilebrg and Lucas often comes together with indiana jones and other films.
Tarantino and robert rodrigues are next big chums of hollywood.. Now eli roth has migrated to this cult.
But in india, we don’t have this kind of combo of genius. The only combo we have is Manirathnam-Ramu-Shekhar kapoor. That is our best……
So if a person is creative and friendly, i would be his freind . I wont think where he comes, what his origin is, which caste or community he belong or what he do for a living..? etc…
But what do you expect from me when somebody comes to me saying that you indians are filthiest people on earth, you are second handers etc.
Then i will reason that this person is having a hatred to me and its origin is my origin and i shouldn’t be a psycophant to him and should react to keep prestige and Self esteem is the most important thing for a creator. If you don’t consider yourself worthy, how can you create anything..?
With love and best regards ….Vaishak……………
RGV,
Will you be able to read so many comments??? Or will you pick few of them??? especially the lengthy essays here.
It appears like a forum to me.
Dear jaani,
I couldn’t respond to you comments yesterday because i was deeply upset by some personal problems and couldn’t come to net….Hope u will understand….
with love…..Vaishak…….
i think autojaani loves chiranjeevi’s character in rowdy alludu and hence has put up that name.
I had become your fan when I saw Gayam movie’s small dark design in one of the telugu papers/magazines. It was Urmila on some dark background. None of your super duper flops could change my liking for you. I bet you will not be able to do that?
@autojaani,
@auto jaani,
and i want to tell one more thing to you. You told that ‘dalapathi’ story is lifted from “Mahabhaarath”.
Let me tell, cinema is not story. Its the treatment of your material. Mahabhaarath is there for everybody . If you are interested, you can make one movie. But Manirathnam took it to heart and gave it a soul.”Dalapathi” is a classic. Santhosh sivan’s cinematography is world class, i would say.
Now mani is making a film named “raavana”. The basic story will be from “raamayana”. Its all admitted by the filmmaker himself. I don’t know how a ramu fan says ‘mani just taken the boring story of mahabharath”.
Anyway, correct that one. Even ramu used to say in interviews, “Cinema is a collection of some scenes and background music, I don’t even remember the story of “Sholay”, but i remember scenes from it”.
regards, Vaishak….
Entertainment rating:
Your good films( shiva, kshanakshanam, satya , govinda givinda, gamyam etc) — 5/5 :)
this BLOG—- 4/5 ;)
your flop movies–1/5 :((
oops its gayam !!! spelling misstake!
I knew, Jaani bhai bit depth better than any one else on this blog…
Even I knew how vaishank and his philosophical depths.. but i wondered why Viashank was responded in a such a furious way.. (Not today’s response) Caz here just matter of thoughts difference, not a personnel issues …However Vaishank or Autojaani never gone into Personnel issues.

@RGV
Ramu, I wonder if the omission of Mohan Babu has anything to do with the script. I am assuming that there might be some scenes in which NTR is shown with some “negative”(which most of the public do not know) shades…
Well, can you share the reason behind his omission?
If you had a choice(only between two), who would you prefer Ravi or Suri?
Which person’s character were you mighty impressed with while preparing the script?
Cheers!!!
@Ramu…
I’m really waiting for Amitabh’s PAA …wat abt u?
@Ramu…
In PAA Balki re used …best songs of ilayaraja…
and those are awesome….
hope u too ….work with ilayaraja (after Shiva 2006) ..in near future….
@Ramu….
When i listen to ilayaraja..i used to think he is best….at the same time if i listen to AR Rahman…i feel he is also best.. :)
Ramu, there’s a conversation in Thus spake zarathushtra. When the sage talks of charity, Zarathustra retorts, “I am not that poor”. Now you say, you wont even donate your sweat. What is the underlying meaning behind all this.
When Lord of the Rings 1 ended with “To be continued”, I immediately broke into laughter. 70% of the theatre felt cheated. The rest 30% were still happy with the art work and treatment of the film to have been entertained for their money.
Now Agyaat didnt have all that. Why would you go ahead and still end it abruptly. That too fully knowing that our treatment of films is no way close to the brilliance of Hollywood movies.

12. Your philosophy provides more freedom of expression and less guilt in pleasure.
Ans: Actually my philosophy is about not feeling guilty to be free and to take pleasure in your expressions
Fuck No ! Thats Rand’s philosophy. You just read Shrugged and Fountainhead and got all excited like a college kid !
Did u not find any telugu heroes for ur rakthacharitra movie u casted one hindi and one tamil hero….
y u alaways cast the same heros who were acted in ur previous movies…there are many talented heros who r not getting chance to show their talent…
By writing a article abouut rakthacharitra indirectly ur giving publicity to ur film….i know ur very kanjus…hahaha….
what ravi and suri has done…they are factionists killing other people very bad persons….and u making a film on them very very bad person…..make some good films which will be usefull for the society
factionists kill people bi sickels and bombs and u kill people by ur movies….
u have a feeling that ur very great person and great director…….
give me a chance in ur film as a hero….u will never find actor like me….give me a psyco character
how much is ur rumeneration for 1 film???
Ram,
I visited your blog …for the very first time.So the questions I asked below might be
what already others asked. If so, just reply that you answered them already.
1) Had Fountainhead not existed on earth, what you are NOW , would ever have existed?
2) Assume the whole world is getting destroyed like it shown in the recent movie 2012 , will you
love to undergo that feelings of fear and panic and understand how it is working in others..even
though you know that there is no future for you after this disaster? If yes, is it your
natural instinct or conscious habit…to understand the dynamics?
I read ur interview in a telugu daily and wanted to post my comments…No doubt we are all waiting for ur nxt marvel but observing ur previous movie titles like COMPANY, SARKAR etc which were unique but had their heavyness( like of all time grt “GOD FATHER”), the title of the film ‘RAKTHA CHARITRA’ is stale….Considering the heightened emotions ppl hav for those two men ..any title/caption which reflects the love and devotion ( which people still hav for them) could be apt….
Kautilya,
ramu will answer to your question like ‘YES SIR, OK SIR, WHAT ELSE SIR’?…
:)
Hello Sir
I see you as a good manager nd producer than director no offense…..
My ultimate aim is to be a producer nd a good script writer i always take inspiration from you.
Hope Raktha Charitra will be good
As movie geek i love to see a good action Hindi movie,no songs,no hindi punch dialogs,good sci fie background. Make a trend setting action movie Like shiva in drama which you did in telugu
as usual for reference look lots of english action blockbusters. Produce that kind of movie u will get heavy collections…… :)
I am not Only ur Fan .

Hey….. I think aag is second worst film in history of world cinema after slumdog millionaire..
Then how come aag was a super duper flop and slumdog was such a big hit?
I have two questions for you
1)Which you like the best The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged
2) Will you plan to make Indian version movies of the novels
