Can Indian cinema go global?

it means literally murderous rage but here in slang it means being aggressive or bull headed determination to finish a task or prove a point.
 
Hmmmmm, I don't think I've ever seen an Indian film before. They certainly don't screen in the cinemas here. But who knows they could go global.

are u sure u live in U.K & not estonia. almost every indian movie get released in U.K.

Certainly not in the UK. If you go to your local Vue, Odeon etc they will not be showing them. I suppose at smaller independent places, in London maybe. But it is by no means mainstream.
 
Indian cinema? Blah that should be the mighty joke of the century. You should write 'hollywood cinema translated into hindi'. Indian cinema remakes softcore hollywood b-grade pornographic and 3rd class movies, almost all their movie plots are copied from different foreign movies and miserably joined together. Even the titles of bharti movies consist of more English words then Hindi. There is nothing original about Indian cinema.

Great hurt burn after watching Indian movies! :lol: If you hate so much why do not just watch yor own movies?

oh i get it
 
A lot of them address Bollywood as Indian cinema sadly, there are a lot of states which make some amazing low budjet movies but don't have the money to market their creation for instance I have watched some amazing bangla, malayalam, tamil movies apart from some great hindi movies too and the acceptence of this movies don't go more than their states.

A lot of this regional movies also win a lot of national awards but don't have the money to take them any further.

I only wish there were some efforts by the govt to help the local industry reach the international markets not for money but pure awareness

Remi Award? What's that? I'm talking about Golden Palm, Golden Lion, Golden Bear and the Oscar - not some third tier award that nobody knows outside the region.

White folks seem to like South American and East Asian movies though.



Buddy we Indians are not that bad,we sure know how to keep our critics in place.

Just to begin with have you heard of SATYAJIT RAY if you have not please check wikipedia and you would get a fair bit of idea but if you are lazy here we go............

Numerous awards were bestowed on Ray throughout his lifetime, including 32 National Film Awards by the Government of India, in addition to awards at international film festivals. At the Berlin Film Festival, he was one of only three filmmakers to win the Silver Bear for Best Director more than once [83] and holds the record for the most number of Golden Bear nominations, with seven. At the Venice Film Festival, where he had previously won a Golden Lion for Aparajito (1956), he was awarded the Golden Lion Honorary Award in 1982. [84] That same year, he received an honorary "Hommage à Satyajit Ray" award at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival. [85]

Ray is the second film personality after Chaplin to have been awarded honorary doctorates by Oxford University. [86] He was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1985 and the Legion of Honor by the President of France in 1987. [87] The Government of India awarded him the highest civilian honour, Bharat Ratna shortly before his death. [87] The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded Ray an honorary Oscar in 1992 for Lifetime Achievement. It was one of his favourite actresses, Audrey Hepburn, who represented the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on that day in Calcutta. Ray, unable to attend the ceremony due to his illness, gave his acceptance speech to the Academy via live video feed in his home. In 1992 he was posthumously awarded the Akira Kurosawa Award for Lifetime Achievement in Directing at the San Francisco International Film Festival; it was accepted on his behalf by actress Sharmila Tagore. [88]

In 1992, the Sight & Sound Critics' Top Ten Poll ranked Ray at #7 in its list of "Top 10 Directors" of all time, making him the highest-ranking Asian filmmaker in the poll. [89] In 2002, the Sight & Sound critics' and directors' poll ranked Ray at #22 in its list of all-time greatest directors, [90] thus making him the fourth highest-ranking Asian filmmaker in the poll. [90] In 1996, Entertainment Weekly magazine ranked Ray at #25 in its "50 Greatest Directors" list. [91] In 2007, Total Film


I hope that sure did hurt your chinese ego :p:
 
are u sure u live in U.K & not estonia. almost every indian movie get released in U.K.

alphamale - let me tell you from my experience Bollywood films are more popular than ever in the UK. You are most correct and almost every Indian movie gets released in the UK. The market is huge with Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi fans. On top of that more and more English people are watching. I believe it wont need much of a push to go global! I think Jamie is living in planet uranus.
 
I don't know much about Indian cinema except for the fact that it is the largest or 2nd largest cinema in the world. I think if Hindi becomes a global language then why not?
 
INDIAN cinema is global you aceot or not, you agree or not


The cinema of India consists of films produced across India, which includes the cinematic culture of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Orissa, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal. Indian films came to be followed throughout South Asia and the Middle East. The cinema as a medium gained popularity in the country as many as 1,000 films in various languages of India were produced annually. [1] Expatriates in countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States continue to give rise to international audiences for Indian films of various languages. In the 20th century, Indian cinema, along with the Hollywood and Chinese film industries, became a global enterprise. [2] At the end of 2010 it was reported that in terms of annual film output, India ranks first, followed by Hollywood and China. [3] Enhanced technology paved the way for upgrading from established cinematic norms of delivering product, altering the manner in which content reached the target audience, as per regional tastes. [2] Indian cinema found markets in over 90 countries where films from India are screened. [4]

The country also participated in international film festivals, especially Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, Ritwik Ghatak, G. Aravindan [5] Adoor Gopalakrishnan and Mani Ratnam [4] Indian filmmakers such as Shekhar Kapur, Mira Nair, Deepa Mehta, Nagesh Kukunoor found success overseas. [6] The Indian government extended film delegations to foreign countries such as the United States of America and Japan while the country's Film Producers Guild sent similar missions through Europe. [7] Sivaji Ganesan, and S. V. Ranga Rao won their respective first international award for Best Actor held at Afro-Asian Film Festival in Cairo and Indonesian Film Festival in Jakarta for the films Veerapandiya Kattabomman and Narthanasala in 1959 and 1963. [8][9]

India is the world's largest producer of films. [10][11] In 2009, India produced a total of 2961 films on celluloid, that include a staggering figure of 1288 feature films. [12] The provision of 100% foreign direct investment has made the Indian film market attractive for foreign enterprises such as 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures [13][14] and Warner Bros. [15] Indian enterprises such as Zee, UTV, Suresh Productions, Adlabs and Sun Network's Sun Pictures also participated in producing and distributing films. [15] Tax incentives to multiplexes have aided the multiplex boom in India. [15] By 2003 as many as 30 film production companies had been listed in the National Stock Exchange of India, making the commercial presence of the medium felt. [15]

The Indian diaspora consists of millions of Indians overseas for which films are made available both through mediums such as DVDs and by screening of films in their country of residence wherever commercially feasible. [16] These earnings, accounting for some 12% of the revenue generated by a mainstream film, contribute substantially to the overall revenue of Indian cinema, the net worth of which was found to be US$1.3 billion in 2000. [17] Music in Indian cinema is another substantial revenue generator, with the music rights alone accounting for 4–5% of the net revenues generated by a film in India.


I can go on and on but I'm sure I have proved a point

As I just became aware of this film a few weeks ago, and ordered a DVD and watched it today (10-9-11) this review is unlikely to be seen by many because the film is 4 years old and there are nearly 250 user reviews already. So rather than rehash the plot, I will first mention that I have been an Educational Therapist for over 45 years, and have worked extensively with dyslexic and ADD and ADHD children in my practice, so this film had intrinsic interest to me going in. But despite seeing many films on learning problems through the years, some very good, I have never seen any movie that can come close to this one both in emotional power and subject accuracy. When I saw that the film is 165 minutes long, I was expecting to watch it in two sittings, but I never once felt the need to take a break, and in the second half of the film, when the director Aamir Khan enters the story, I was riveted continuously, and embarrassingly shed more than a few tears. If you have any interest in education and the problems the outsiders face, this is a must-see. And if you just want to see an intelligent drama with no car chases, explosions, sex scenes, or ultra violence, then you will be glad you saw this wonderful film, which, by the way, while it is about children, is not really for children, unless they are over about 11 or 12, or have suffered the experience of failing due to undiagnosed or treated reading or similar learning difference. Don't let the Disney Studio name fool you, this does not feel like a typical Disney movie, but the film does point out that Walt Disney himself had school learning problems as a child. Another aspect of the film is something I always try to impart to my clients: There is life after school. And it is not necessary to be the best at everything to be successful. Just become the best you are able and try to find something you like doing that makes you happy.

The rest will take care of itself. What a great film!
