Its about more than 48 hours, when heart of India is blowed with four bomb blasts. And, three more live-bombs were diffused later on. Before this, I think every Indian would remember, there were same serial bomb blasts in Jaipur, Banglore, Ahemdabad also.
Well, I am not able to forgot the scene of "Mumbai Meri Jaan" movie, that I watched last night. Talking neither to be too emotional and nor to be too practical, but sometimes I am not able to answer even myself. Why movies like "Aamir" or "Mumbai Meri Jaan" could not able to get so much popularity as the movies like "Rang De Basanti.." got earlier.
May be, one of the factor behind the success of "Rang De Basanti.." would be the instant reaction/rebels against the injustice, by the actors.
While the movies like "Aamir" or "Mumbai Meri Jaan" talk about the softer side of human nature.
The other reason behind not getting this 'so much popularity' factor is that these movies takes the holistic-view of the tragic incidents and give more emphasis on the practical aspect of these scenario. They show how one get closer to the truth, when such incidents or its aftermaths happens with them.
I can not say exactly but a film becomes a blockbuster or remains an average one also depends on its audience type...(But its not true as far as National Awards are concerned!!)
While the "Rang De Basanti.." was favoured mostly by the youngsters; and the other movies like "Aamir" is mostly favoured by the age-group of 26-35 yrs. And, if look at the success factor of a film, merely, by its total number of audience (or by its sales/collection figures); than off course age-group matters. Its these youngster of age-group 18-25, who moves to the multiplexes or cinema-halls more frquently as compare to the other ones..
So, should the bollywood directors always focus on this youth segment only ( to get high returns or to get the maximum support for their viewpoint)... Well, I leave the answer of this question on you!!
As far as I am concerned, I pay my sincere thanks to both Raj Kumar Gupta and Nishikant Kamat (directors of "Aamir" and "Mumbai Meri Jaan") for such a nice presentation.
Vaibhav..
