r/IndianCinema

I have a problem with any mainstream filmmaker in India who interviews that "this movie is my dream project" and hype everyone with it and when we watch it, it's literally one of the worst and illogical movies of all time.

Look at Kalki, a so called ambitious project but like Arshad Warsi rightly said, they made the main protagonist look like a joker. There was no proper purpose of Prabhas' character or any point in time where we could feel any genuine connection with him, let alone them ruining the original mahabharat story for the sake of their story.(Karn and Ashwathama were enemies. Karn always abused Drona and it was cringe whenever he called Ashwa "Guru putra")

Same with Brahmastra. They messed up what celestial weapons are firstly, but then they created their owns Superpowers and went on to f*** it up???

Nagarjuna's power is " Sahastra nandi astra "

Mathematically, 1 nandi = 10 million Bull Power.

Sahastra nandi = 1000 nandi = 10,000 Bull Power.

That's stronger than Hulk!! And he can't even push a bloody Truck????? Excuse me????

Even SRK messed up Ra.One's screenplay when he was unclear whether to make it for kids or adults.

Even the franchise or universes get worse with each installations(YRF spy, Lokiverse, pushpa, kgf, stree universe, Rohit shetty copverse, etc) It feels they don't have any proper end or path in their mind for their stories.

And I don't understand why they all do it. apart from Rocketry, Kantara, Drishyam(high hopes for 3rd one) or Rajamouli movies, I haven't seen any other well made ambitious film here.

Idk what conviction they lack, or if they employ bad writers or if it's production that mess it up. But as long as this problem exist, we won't have Dune, Avatar, Terminator, Inception, etc level of movies.

My bad if this kind of post isn't allowed.

It was this movie about a father and his son or something of that nature. The dad(?) wore glasses.

I remember there being a scene where the dad was drying dollar bills, I think ironing them or air drying them.

There was a scene on the beach where the dad was crying I think, and I swear there might've been a Ferrari involved but I can't remember.

I tried posting this on a few of the "Tip of my Tongue" subs but those have gone nowhere unfortunately.

Can you suggest

1)chhota bheem eats laddoos and beats up goons in every episode, bheem always good and thugs bad

2)Motu eats samosas and beats up john or some villain in every episode

3)little singham bashes goons everytime

4)kicko and super speedo is about superpowers

5)kisna was a cartoon about mythology and superpowers at same time

6)Roll no 21 was about mythology and superpowers again

7)krishna and little Krishna were about mythological superpowers again

8)Kalari kids is about martial arts and small kids tackling threats way overrated for them.

9)shiva is about a boy with superpowers and a technologically superior bike

10)vir the robot boy was another cartoon about superpowers

The only outliers i can think of are banbudh aur budbak, keymon ache (though that was inspired from doraemon so it doesnt count), chorr police, simple samosa

If you have noticed some else in them is that all these cartoons involve actual violence. There is category of violence which fits under slapstick comedy(I am an animation writer) but that category is nowhere seen in india (probably because of low quality animation)

None of American cartoons give you the illusion that you can eat an unhealthy snack and then beat up grown ups way as a kid (i noticed that many kids who watched the cartoon thought that way until they grew up). Even Popeye makes more sense since its about eating spinach, a healthy veggie and a grown cartoonish man.

You may wonder why I am so concerned about indian cartoons following only one trope, well I am an indian animation writer and believe india can have a better AVGC policy to export indian cultural IP abroad like Japanese did with their anime and believed ppl here might reflect the same way I did as someone interested in creatives.

Ik the fault is mine here.

But what a shit movie man, i don't participate in talks about movies but what's happening in indian cinema with these horror movies.

I watched bhool bhulaiya 2, stree 2 and now this

Nthg new same old lame jokes, forced comedy

And no terror whatsoever just loud noises.

Bhoot bangla was recommended by my cousins a lot i didn't expect much but still i was disappointed
