Indian Children cinema needs to evolve, In accord to Hollywood Counterpart

Kid’s movie genre in India still lags behind a lot, if we compare it with Hollywood contemporaries. It is nowhere near to Big Hollywood giants like ‘Disney’s Pixar studio and’ Dreamworks Studio who mainly creates magic with Kids Movies. This is because In India, there is not much awareness about Kids genre and still the producers fear to invest money in it. If we talk about Indian people, their mentality about children movie is that it’s just for children entertainment and even children don’t give much
importance to it. We a country of Young People where  20 Crores are just children who loves to watch Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney Kids, Hungama and Animax channels. But what they actually see in these channels are dubbed children contents imported from countries like U.S, Japan and U.K etc. So even they hardly get to see Original Kids content in India. It primarily means that there is a potential in India for Kids genre based movies and programmes
                                                      In Recent decade, the gear of Indian Kids movies performed better but still we lacks behind on content and monetarial based problems.   Indian Kids genre has a history of over 60 years when Government has Established Children Film Society of India (1955) for producing Children based movie. But still the particular genre movies are not performing well at the box - office. The Animation and VFX have helped Kids genre over the last 20 years. If we take a look at Indian Kids movies released in 2014 Mighty Raju Rio Calling, ‘Bhootnath Returns’ and ‘Char Sahibzaade’.  The first was a disaster but somehow ‘Bhootnath Returns’, ‘Char Sahibzaade’ became a hit. The reason behind the failures of children movies is the lack of original content and less of specialization in this field.
                              People in India feels that Kids Genre based movies just related to some software VFX and magical stories but they forget one most important thing that it’s an Art too. If this art is minutely practiced then Indian Kids movies will have a potential to reach at the level of their Hollywood Contemporaries who nearly release more than 10 children based movies every year. Last year Hollywood Release Children movie ‘Big Hero 6’ won the Academy award too and ‘Lego’ which is a game based movie also did surprising well at the box office. Why not Indian Children based films make it to that level? It’s just because lack of original content, lack of willing to produce a movie.  

                                              Despite such hurdles in Indian Kids segment Industry, this sector is booming slowly steadily now.  In India, if we want to make kids genre in to a big industry; first the government has to give an active support to the industry. So that there will be good movies for our children. The latest children movie was ‘Mere Genie Uncle’ which released on 5th June. It promises to overall fun for everyone but didn't faired well as per the expectations.

Pk creates history in neighbouring China

Bollywood’s most successful movie ‘Pk’ creates another milestone which is simply hard to believe. Yes we are talking about the recent release of ‘PK’ in China. In just 11 days after its (22nd May) release in China, it earned a gross total of Rs 83.94 Crores. Yes you read it right; this movie just doing exceptional magic across the borders. Bollywood films try hard to reach 100 Crores mark in India but nothing seems impossible for PK which soon be the only 100 Crore Plus movies in China. 

                                          The trio of Director Raj Kumar Hirani, Producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Mr Perfectionist Aamir (You can call them Trimurti) always did a magic whenever they had came together. Their previous movie ‘3 Idiots’ which released in 4,600 Screens in China also have done extremely well.  You can lead various reasons for the success of this flick. It can be the Perfection of Aamir who earlier film ‘Dhoom 3’ and ‘3 Idiots’ also did well at the Chinese box office or you can credit to the brilliant story. Overall the success ratio of few of Indian films proves that China is a great potential market for Indian Movies.
                  Overall, Aamir Khan Starrer ‘Pk’ has earned a whooping Rs. 710 Crores since its release in December 19 and there is yet lot more collection to come from the Chinese front. Apart from Aamir, ‘PK’ also stars Sushant Singh Rajput and Gorgeous Anushka Sharma. PK is a trend setter for all the new releasing movies in India as they can now opt for another market in South Asia where there is a huge chance of success ratio
 and gross Potential.


Pahchaane nahi ka! PK

Irfan Khan – Success with no Shout

Irfan Khan, the name itself reminds you of a character totally confused, frustrated, emotionally exhausted in few of his movies. He is actually the Warrior of Acting, Warrior must be an unfriendly word to relate Irfan, but this word has an in-depth emotional connection with him. Yes, “The Warrior” is a Hollywood Movie released in 2001 which have given a big break to him as a lead actor. He was so frustrated after struggling for nearly 15 years in Bollywood and television industries and he had decided just to quit from it. Then the luck favoured him with British Movie ‘The Warrior’ and there was no looking back then.
               His face was not so catchy for a desi hero looks, so he mostly gets role of either a villain or some negative character. Who can forget his Bihari style Villanious role is a soft romantic drama ‘Haasil’ and sexually desperate police inspector in the Hindi movie ‘Rog’ released in 2005. He got many roles since then, but mostly of a kind of character type. He was still in demand for the kind of his effective acting, unique voice and the look he has.


                                             He earned recognition and fame by acting in both Bollywood and Hollywood movies like Namesake, Maqbool , Slumdog Millionaire & Life of Pi . He was seen last year in a Hollywood flick ‘The Amazing spiderman’ and Hindi film ‘Piku’. You will see him again after a week in movie ‘The Jurassic World’. He is now currently working on a project on ‘Inferno’ which includes Hollywood immensely Talented Actor Tom Hanks.

Akshay’s new Avatar in “Singh is Bling”

Bollyood Action Hero ‘Akshay Kumar’ is all set to buzz up again for his forthcoming movie “Singh Is Bling”. The name only suggests that the movie is a sequal to “Singh is King” which already had good marks at the box-Office. We have seen Akshay in Punjabi Avtar before but his look in this movie poster is a little bit different from the previous one. He now looks more urban and classy and even his looks will remind you of Sunny Deol’s looks in few of his recent movies.
                                                              In this flick, Akshay will groove with another beauty Amy Jackson who is now all set to firm her base in bollywood. The shooting work has been done in foreign locale and there is no doubt that he will again do the same mischevious thing to grab her eyes like he did to Katrina in earlier movie.  Moreover, it looks as if the director will go with the same kinda story but with a different location and different characters. Still there is time for the trailer where we could easily findout the story essence of this movie. Till then you can take a look at this awesome movie poster.

                                       
   In films, Akshay is known for Fighting and stunt and this movie also promises to show you the best stunts performed by him. His earlier performances in movies like Holiday, Baby, Gabbar was an exceptional and critics even loved it. So this time also fans are ready to see what he had stored for them in “Singh is Bling”.
