A Wednesday – Bollywood is growing

I have been watching movies since a long time now, but I must tell you that in the last month or so I have seen bollywood growing. The movies that have come in the past one month have been exceptional. It all started with Mumbai Meri Jaan and Phoonk, then last week it was Rock on and today “A Wednesday”. Newer stories are slowly finding their way into plexus of India. The best part about these films is that their powerful content did the talking. And mark my words, this has been the most powerful month to come out of Bollywood till date, leave aside 2008.

The latest trend has been of small budget movies with limited advertising and strong, and appealing, story line and direction. Acting has been superb and marvelous. When I say that bollywood is growing then I don’t mean that we are making profits, but somehow I feel that we are narrowing the gap that was there between hollywood and bollywood in terms of the stories that were directed. I guess gone are the days where people used to take inspiration from hollywood movies to make movies. I know we cannot eradicate this but at least we are making some efforts.

A Wednesday – few words to describe this is “Remarkable”, “Amazing” and “thought-provoking”. A 100 minute movie seems to be a perfect value for money. After seeing it, I wanted it to be of atleast 3 hours so that I can appreciate it more. Anupam Kher and Naseeruddin Shah have been impeccable and immaculate. Every performance in A Wednesday is charged. Go and watch Indian Cinema at its best.

Also, if you haven’t already watched changing face of bollywood, then I will strongly recommend you to watch all the three movies (Mumabi Meri Jaan, Rock on and A Wednesday) as soon as possible that too only in movie halls as some movies deserve to be seen on big screens. All these movies deserve 4 to 5 star ratings.
