New Genres, New surprises

For me and you, who ever yearned to watch good films with different and innovative themes, it`s a happy time now. Be it Bollywood or Kollywood: at present, none of the films are really made noteworthy. An itching C-Rated comedy films in Hindi that breaks your heads and annoying masala films in Tamil. But here comes, the new generation of directors who are swaying down with new themes assuring that Indian Cinema would surely attain greater heights in the international standard. Be with Khans and Kumars ruling in Bollywood, here came one fine director venturing with a first ever film based on Rock Music titled `Rock On`. The film is about group of youngsters organizing a rock band and seeking for great opportunity. They have no great exposure and keep playing in local for Navarathri festivals and finally they make it big. It`s not about their intelligence of scoring excellent music, but a great sort of unity they possess among themselves is what the film highlights about. `A Wednesday` directed by debutant Neeraj is really a masterpiece. Yeah! This has taken me to the complete surprise of how worst were the other senior directors, since none of they picked up such a great appealing them. This film is about an unrecorded event in the history that affected a lot for those who were involved in it. The event takes place between 2 – 6 P.M. on one fine Wednesday where a police officer (Anupam Kher) receives a phone call from anonymous caller (Naseerudin Shah) that four militants have to be released or else bombs planted by him at various places in Mumbai would be shattering down. The most shocking twist in the film is that 4 militants are in no way related to the anonymous caller. And come to Kollywood: We have our finest Director Venkat Prabhu, perhaps we feel entitling him as `The Best Trendsetting Director of Tamil Cinema`. How can a man churn out consecutive hits with new genres that has no A-rated star-casts and really it`s a great talent. Chennai 600028 and Saroja…. So, what the earlier generation of directors hasn`t done has been achieved by young energetic filmmakers…
