Kashmiri Film Industry

This is an industry which has been revived after 39 years in 2006 with the movie Akh Daleel Loolech. Kashmir is considered as heaven on earth and was a favorite spot for romantic shoots. But due to the militancy and the cross border terrorism, this place is not accessible. A lot of movies were never made here because it is basically a very poor state and so they haven’t been able to raise enough finances for movies. The last movie to be released here was Habba Khatoon in 1967.

A lot of movies have been shot in Kashmir and have stories based on the Kashmir issue. Hritik Roshan Mission Kashmir was shot in Kashmir. Movies like LOC too had portions shot in different locations of Kashmir. Songs are often shot in Shikara’s too give it the Kashmiri feel. Hope the makers in this area just decide to not get stopped by the terrorism and make more movies in Kashmir so that the world can see the natural beauty of this place.

Yester years star Waheeda Rehmann visited Kashmir after 26 years and this is what she had to say ” Kashmir used to be the favorite shooting spot for all Indian filmmakers in 50’s, 60’s and 70’s and we’ve always loved to be here. I’m a little disheartened to see the condition of the Dal Lake, whose waters used to be crystal clear. Encroachments all along Dal, too many people and lack of hygiene among the people have spoiled my mood. The silver lining, however, is that normalcy is returning to Kashmir, which could be a harbinger of a new era for the people of the valley”.

Kashmir has given Bollywood stars like Kiran Kumar, Anupam Kher, Sanjay Suri, Jeevan and a new star Rahul Bhatt. Onkar Aima is another famous personality from Kashmir. Child artist turned hero Kunal Khemu too is a Kashmiri gift to Bollywood.

Bengali Film Industry

Talk about survival and the Bengali industry is a good example. In the 1990s this industry was going through such a lull. From nearly 800 theatres showing Bengali films it cam down to a mere 350. But now not only has the Bengali industry revived it has given bollywood too many heroines to talk about too.

Whether it’s Rani Mukherjee or Bipasha Basu, its Bengal beauties every where. Aishwarya Rai not only captured Bollywood she captured the Bengali industry too with Chokher Bali. This is an industry which has come back so strong because of its family based movies and rich culture. Just look at the TV and you will see that all the channels have some Bengali based serial. Directors like Satyajit Ray, Rituparno Ghosh and Aparna Sen are famous for their off beat art films too. This is a place filled with talent and now not only are the viewers interested in Bengali films, a whole lot of producers too are very seriously investing their money in this industry.

The Bengali industry is based in the Tollygunge district of Kolkata. There are two Bengali film industries. One is based in Dhaka and the other in Kolkata. Another honour that this industry has is Satyaji Ray who is no more has won the lifetime achievement Oscar award.

Malayalam Film Industry

This is an industry whichv is going through a very bad phase. Known for making extremely realistic movies this industry was in its peak during the 70s and 80s. With the coming in of satellite television and Video piracy this industry has become sick and is still unable to revive. Stars from Kerala too have migrated and finding value for their talent in the Tamil and Telugu industry.

This was a year fro the Malayalam Actresses in Kollywood. All the hits had a Kerala actress in it. Asin starred in Varalaru History of the godfather,Sandhya In Dishyum, Nayantara in Vallavan, Gopika in yamtan magan.

The Malayalam industry is the industry which has produced great actors like Mamooty and Mohan Lal. It’s this industry which is the main hub for original stories. A lot of Malayalam movies are remade into Tamil and Telugu. Cheran made autograph and he introduced Gopika and Kamala to the Tamil Industry. Stars like Mamooty and Mohan Lal have acted in many Tamil movies. Mamooty’s biggest Tamil hit was Kandukondain Kandukondain.

Asin was the face of the year in 2005 every movie which came around Diwali had her. She starred with Surya in Ghajini, Vikram in Majaa and with Vijay in Sivakasi. All the three movies were hits. Sandhya made her debut with the film kadal and walked off with the best actress award for the film. Gopika has impressed everybody with her simplicity and great eyes. This actress is going places without exposing anything at all. This year was a major year for Nayantara. This actress used act with the senior stars as she too was big built and looked good with them. Look at her this year she has shed off all the extra pounds and is looking sleek in Vallavan and E. Both the movies have been hits this year and she is riding high.

This industry gets its name from Telugu and bollywood. This is an industry which is growing at a rapid pace. This industry is based in Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh. This industry is another industry where brand new talent is discovered. All the movies which are made have original scripts and the fan following of each star is unbelievable.

The God of Telugu cinema or the equivalent of Rajnikant or Amitabh Bachchan is Chiranjeevi. NT Rama Rao was the star of the yester years who not only won his fans for his movies but for his politics too. Now the new generation of actors has come in and is very famous too. Actors like Junior NTR, Arjun, Prabhas and Tarun need no introduction.

Chiranjeevi is the winner of the Padma Bhushan too. His last release was such a big hit that fans waited and waited in queues to book their tickets in advance to see their big hero.

It’s common for stars in the south Indian industry to act in different languages. Movies are often remade if it’s a hit in one language. Stars too are seen in a rotation. Sidharth was last seen in Rang De Basanti and then in Bommarillu in Telugu.

If you are in Hyderabad and want to see how doest the Telugu film industry works then it is a must for you to visit the Ramuji Film city. It’s a treat but ensure you set aside the entire day to go around and look around.

A lot of Telugu producers are very active in the Hindi film industry as well as other industries. A lot of Tamil and Telugu movies have been remade into big hits by these producers. A lot of Hit Telugu movies are being made in Tamil too like chandramukhi, Something Something and now pokiri.

Stars like Vishal and Shriya Reddy are basically Telugu stars that have made it big in the Tamil Industry. Shriya who has just done few movies is an epitome of talent and looks very pretty in the shabbiest of outfits. Her performance in Timiru and Vayyil has both been admired by the fans and the critics. This is an actor who is going places.

Mahesh Babu turned out the biggest block buster of tollywood this year with pokiri. The name of the movie is so apt and all the characters have done complete justice to their roles. It’s a must watch for every Telugu movie fan. The dialogues were piercing and the music too good to beat.

Tamil Film Industry

Like bollywood gets its name from Bombay and Hollywood, the Tamil industry gets its name from Kodambakkam where the industry is based and Hollywood. This is the second biggest industry in India and is based at Chennai.

Tamil movie makers unlike their Hindi counterparts are far more original in their scripts. Very often you will find that a lot of Hindi movies are remakes of hit Tamil movies. Big stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor are known to have acted in Tamil remakes. Some Tamil movies have been such big hits that they have been dubbed and released in Hindi too and they have been very big hits like Roja, Bombay etc.

The current Big B of the Tamil industry is Rajnikant. This is an actor who has been acting in the Tamil film industry from the black and white era and is still going very strong. His last movie was Chandramukhi where he plays a psychologist. Born in 1950, there is nothing that can stop this star. He has acted in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, English, Kannada, Bengali and Malayalam. Rajnikant is not only a hit in India, his movies sell like hot cakes both in Singapore and Japan.

Now the industry is crowded with a lot of young stars. Each male star has a different nick name by which his fans know hi like-Super star- Rajnikant, Ultimate star- Ajith, Captain- Vijaykant, Ilaya Talapathi Leader of the youth)- Vijay etc.

The year 2006 has been a very different year for Kollywood as many movies came out this year but only the movies which were different stood out. This year another big thing was that the industry hits were all given by Malayalam actresses. Normally Kollywood is ruled by the Hindi actresses. This year Jyothika married Actor Surya and now there aren’t any more Hindi actresses.

The top two movies were extremely different movies for the Tamil folks. 23am Pulikesi was a period film with comedian playing the hero. He has done a double role and has proved to the world that his talent alone is enough to carry the movie through. Irony of life but here looks just didn’t matter the story and the performance just carried the movie through. Vettaiyaadu Valaiyaadu was another different movie. A movie about two serial killers and a cop who tracks them down. It was like watching Discovery’s Medical Detectives with a lot of mirch masala. People loved the music and debutant Kamalinee Mukherjee has become a star over night.

Comedy In Bollywood

Mehmood is the first thought that will emerge when you think of comedy in bollywood. Comedy has been a vital part of any movie and a lot of movies have been made only on comedy. Star like Ashok Kumar was a natural comedian. In the past the entire movie would be a comedy and there were directors like Hrishikesh Mukherjee who were specialists in these kinds of movies. Then slowly comedy began taking a back seat and today comedy is only a part of the movie. At this time comedians like Johnny Lever, Asrani and Kadar Khan have made a mark for themselves.

During the 80s and early 90s it was the time for stars like Govinda who made a fortune by doing only comedy movies. Now directors like Deepak Tijori tried their hands at comedy and made a remake of a Tamil film but that too bombed at the box office. Director Priya Darshan is the only one who is churning out comedy after comedy and that too all hits. The audience loves Shah Rukh for his comedy in movies like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge and Pardes. Salman Khan too did good to his sinking career with comedy film Maine Pyar Kyon Kiya.

Horror Films In Bollywood

A lady wearing a white saree, carrying a candle, with open hair, singing gumnaam hai koi and walking around the streets is what horror was in bollywood long time ago. Now the definition of horror has changed completely. There are major production houses who are specialists in making horror movies. Ramsay brothers were famous for both their famous horror movies and serials. Now this fort has been taken over by Ram Gopal Verma. He is an exceptional director and works miracles with horror movies. His movies like Darna Mana Hai and Bhoot have been major block busters and have won many awards too.

While the Ramsay movies and other lower budget movie makers’ movies are filled with a lot of blood shed and creatures without hands and heads. Their movies normally don’t have very big stars and there is a lot of skin show to increase the viewer ship of the movie. Now day’s horror movies are made with a lot of class. There are very good scripts that are written with multiple plots. A major star cast of famous and good actors are signed for these movies. Since these kind of movies don’t have much scope for song and dance sequences, special songs are shot only for the promotion of the film. Ramu was the first one to introduce this concept and this has changed the careers of many actresses. Sameera Reddy performed in one of the movies like this and it was instant fame for her.

Bollywood Action

Every movie shooting starts with the word ‘ACTION’ so, if there is no action, a bollywood movie is not complete. Whether a movie is a romantic triangle, suspense or drama all that is immaterial it has to have an action scene or what we call the fight scene.

In India all said and done the hero will look like the boy next door but he will have super natural powers. Even if he is skinny and all alone he can beat up 20 people at a time. And because he is a hero doesn’t even need any weapons. If he has a weapon all the guys on the receiving hands have to be bleeding and of course the hero too will be bleeding from either a cup on his lip or his forehead.

Each action scene in bollywood is very well planned. It involves a lot of planning and precision and here come in the action directors with their team of stunt men. These stunt men are trained professionals who can jump in the sky, do cart wheels and use many weapons at the same time. They will fight with the hero and get hurt. Where the stunt is dangerous the hero will be replaced by a stunt man who will dress up just like the hero. It’s a tough job as these guys earn a living by taking risk daily. This is the same for all stunt stars all over the world. Only thing different is stunt stars around the world have insurance and in India they are not only far under paid they insurance is either as good as not being there or is not there at all.

Action in bollywood is such that there are many heroes who are known as action heroes and it is very difficult to break their image. Sunny Deol, Dharmendra, Sunil Shetty are few such stars. The new generation of heroes who are coming into the industry all come with great body and a lot of muscles to show. People too only want to watch heroes who look like they can beat up another person.

A lot of training goes into being a great action hero. You have to be able to fight, fly, jump as high as a building, ride horses, Zoom in cars past heavy traffic, ride bike through water, slush etc. If you go to the beaches early in the morning you will a lot of young boys training to do all sort of stunts. Some of the stunt masters have their own academies and heroes go there to train and keep their bodies in shape.

Some of the very popular action movies are listed below. If you are an action film buff then these are a must to have.

Sholay starring Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar and Amjad Khan.

Costumes N Makeup

Every outfit that the stars wear on screen becomes a trend and all people try to wear the same thing. Bollywood costumes are like a religion they catch on real fast. Madhuri’s saree in Hum Apke Hain Kaun sold like hot cakes in the local markets. You can see young boys and girls and find out who is their favorite star. If guys are wearing chains with the words cool on it then they are Shah Rukh fans. If they are wearing low hip jeans nowadays then they are Hritik fans. Girls wearing skirts with words written behind it are Preity fans and those wearing chiffon sarees are Rani Mukherjee fans.

In movies like Hum Apke Hain Kaun, Gajgamini and Devdas the heroines have changed many outfits. It is believed the ghagara worn by Madhuri in Maar Daala weighed thirty kilos. Costume designing was not that important in the past but now every star has his/ her personal dress designer. They go shopping in foreign countries for top brands. Clothes can make or break somebody’s career. So, all stars take the time and effort to wear the best outfits.

Manish Malhotra is a dress designer who designs for all the big stars in Bollywood. Abu Jani, Neeta Lulla, Sandeep Khosla and Reza Shariff were the costume designers who did the designing for Devdas. The saree worn by Aishwarya in Devdas was 8-9 meters long as compared to the usual 6 meters. Costume designing is not only for the heroines. Each look of the heroes nowadays is also designed by costume designers. Hritik has 15 get ups in Dhoom 2 and each one has been well planned. The most difficult costume to wear was the mermaid outfit worn by Shilpa Shetty.

A star wears his make up first and then the costume. Makeup in bollywood is done for all the stars and there is no gender bias. Shah Rukh was the first to have a hair stylist all for himself for Mohabatein. Stars have been known for growing their hair long for some roles and to have chopped their hair for some roles. Salman went Bald for Tere Naam. Hritik grew his hair for Krrish and Dhoom 2. Aamir grew his hair and moustache for Mangal Pandey. Kajol supported short hair for Dushman where she played a double role. Most difficult and time consuming make up done in bollywood have been the tiger transformation make up done on Rahul Roy and the different get ups done for Hritik in Dhoom 2.

India has still not reached a stage where body wears make up. Women love make up but still prefer their natural looks. A lot of women just don’t wear any make up of any sought but then bollywood stars have their own charisma. Every individual is a fan of some star or the other and so as long as there is make up in bollywood there will be a big market for make up in the country too. India is an ever-growing country and the cosmetics industry is growing in full swing in India too.

Kaajal for the eyes and mehndi for the hands may be the Indian Look for women but hey nothing is only for the women these days. Men too wear a lot of kaajal and mehndi is no more restricted to the hands. Mehndi tattoos are made on the bellies, arms and the back. Again jewels are not only for the women. Men wear earrings too these days. Salman Khan looks cool with an earring on one of his ears. Piercing their belly buttons, eyes and chin used to be the fashion in the west but it has become such a craze in India too.

Urmila Matondkar brought in Hair colours when she did Rangeela. Still today hair coloring is a big thing and every body is doing it. Streaks to funky styles anything that’s different is in. Before Urmila it was Dimple Kapadia who brought in the fashion of wavy hair cut in steps. Akshay Khanna brought in the style of the short crop and Rahul Roy brought in the long haired look. Aamir brought in the Goat beard look and Abhishek the hair band look.

Make up and costumes are tools which these stars have in their hands which the use to mesmerize the crowd. Guess who benefits from all this copy cat business the garments and accessories businesses. Whether a big manufacturer or small each one brings out the ditto copy of what ever the hero or heroine wears and that too in different prize ranges. If the Dhoom 2 collection is on sale at the pantaloons, Sarees worn by Ash and Madhuri are available at every garment store in any bazaar in any city or town of the country. Accessories too are copied without any hesitation. A college bag carried by a heroine in one of the movies is a transparent bag. Next thing walk into any college and you will find similar bags every where. High heeled shoes in funky colours to pretty little hand bags which can only hold few credit cards, to neck long earrings everything is in. A star has it and is wearing it then I have to have it too is he style mantra of the latest generation.

Love make up costumes then just search a ladies hand bag and you will be surprised what all you can find in there??????

Dance In Bollywood

Indian Film : Bollywood :

Dance In Bollywood
In Indian movies dance is vital as the story. This is so because in India whether you are old or young, good or bad everybody can dance. It’s a nice way to relax and so people want to both watch and dance to catchy tunes. Due to this movies which don’t even have a need for a dance song introduce one in one way or the other. In the past every movie had a female negative lead or the vamp that would wear skimpy colorful clothes and dance for the villains. This brings to mind vamps like Helen, Bindu and Aruna Irani. These dancing divas had a style of their own. Helen was famous for songs like Monica Oh My Darling and Yeh mera dil. Then dancing became a group affair and everybody was expected to dance.

There was an era when dancing was only done by the women. Soon the men were expected to shake a leg too. This was a waterloo for many action heroes. Stars like Dharmendra and his son Sunny Deol are terrible dancers and is very obvious when they dance. Then came in stars like Amitabh, Jeetendra and Rajesh Khanna who could dance something if not very well. It was Mithun Chakraborty who took the stage at that time. He did movies based on dance like Disco Dancer and brought in the disco craze into the country. Dancing then moved to another high when stars like Amir, Salman and Shah Rukh came in. The new generation of actors were all natural dancers. But let’s not forget to give credit to some actors who were not very good dancers but worked very hard to make it big in the dance industry. Topping this chart will be Saif Ali Khan and apna Big B. Saif was called the star with two left feet but after Oole Oole he changed his image completely. Just look at Amitabh Bachchan in Chali Chali or Rock and roll soniye and he will teach you how dance your way gracefully, stylishly and youthfully to success.

When we say dance there are some actresses who are called the goddess of dancing. To name a few lets start with Rekha, Sri devi, Madhuri, Urmila, Karishma and Aishwarya. If you are an actress who can’t dance in bollywood you can survive. So, all the actresses can dance a bit at least. The ones who excel are the ones who can dance gracefully with complete facial expressions and the smile on their faces. Rekha won a national award for Umrao Jaan where she plays a courtesan. This involves very intricate dancing with a different expression for every word. Each of the above mentioned actresses has played roles in major dance movies like Dil to Pagal Hai, Hum apke hain kaun and Devdas. People still can’t get over the magic of Sri Devi’s Na jaane kahaan se aaye hai, Rekha’s Dil cheez kya hai, Madhuri’s Didi tera devar deewaana, Urmila’s rangeela re, Karishma’s Mujhko hue na khabar and Aishwarya’s Crazy kiya re.

Choreography is now the most in thing. The top dance directors now are Saroj Khan, Farah Khan, Vaibhavi Merchant, Bosco and Caesar, Ahmed Khan, Ganesh Hegde and Ganesh Acharya. Each one of these directors has a style of their own. Saroj Khan is the senior most and has many awards and hit songs to her credit. Farah is a very different director and has many unusual songs to her credit like Chaiya Chaiya, which was shot on top of a moving train. She is also the one who brought in the Hritik Roshan style of dancing. She is the one who brought out the best of his dancing abilities in his first movie Kaho Na Pyar hai. Farah and Ahmed slowly graduated from only choreography to directing their own movies too. Farah’s first movie was Main Hoon Na with the king Khan and it was a very big hit.

Ahmed made his debut with Lakeer with Sunny Deol, Sunil Shetty and John Abraham but he wasn’t that lucky and the movie bombed badly. Ganesh Hegde released his own pop album which did okay business. Another choreographer who is exceptional is Shaimak Davar. He runs a lot of dance classes in different cities and if he is in your city better join up. Latest heart throb Shaahid Kapoor was his student and watching him dance is a real pleasure now.

Ganesh Acharya is a director who is so fat but he is talented beyond words. He has choreographed songs for Lagaan and his biggest hit was Koi Aaye Toh Le jaaye with Mamta Kulkarni. Vaibhavi Merchant is the director who is making Hritik Dance to her moves these days. She is a young lady who has proved to the world that anything can be achieved by hard work.

The funda of forced dance sequences in movies is at its peak. If there isn’t place for a dance song in the movie then a special song is shot either to introduce the characters as it was done in Dus or a promotional song is shot like its been done for Kaal. This has also given birth to the concept of the item girl. These girls are only good at dancing and are only used to increase the viewer ship of the movie. The top item girls right now are Rakhi Sawant, Yana Gupta and Isha Kopikar.

Whether it’s a tragic song or a suspence there has to be some form of dance. Bollywood dance is made up all forms of dancing. There are songs like Maar Dala which is in the classic form of dancing and there are songs like Babuji which has no particular style at all.
