Indian Cinema

Hi guys! In this post, I turn my head to something which has filled a lot of my free time this hols or for that matter any other hols - cinema, cinema-related TV programmes, and news about cinema. I have followed Tamil, Telugu and Hindi cinema most of my life. Started watching Hindi from around the age of 10 and English only after I joined college. So, I have hardly been influenced by Hollywood though I read a lot about it now.

In general, cinema has not just been a medium of entertainment or a pastime. It has influenced me in many ways - educating against social evils, tackling social problems, corruption, to live for society and for others, inspiration from different potrayals of modern-day Rama. All these in perfectly commercial movies! I guess its a lot to do with what one takes from a film.
