He also possesses such a magnetic voice. Deep rich and majestic.

[@hula1518]

The real Boss of Indian film. Bow down to the G.

[@mcsdigital5223]

He was soo correct about indian cinema back then and it still proves him right where bollywood sophisticated backward audience(as he said in an interview)is enjoying masala movies. South cinemas are representing india on international levels

[@slayer_142]

Rajamoli and shankar 🤣

[@YoutubeVagabond]

He was talking about Filmmakers like Adoor Gopalakrishnan who made parallel cinema.

[@roronoazorro8822]

Only Malayalam and Tamil industryis producing world class cinemas. Telegu industry(except few filmmakers) is still making third grade Commercial masala action movies like mainstream Hindi industry.

[@saddu1107]

@@roronoazorro8822 except few lmao . there was a time in industry where concept was given atmost prority in 1950's . movies like mayabazaar(used editing to create magic effects in 1957 itself) , narthana shaala, missamma, and so many movies I can name. but of course your opinion comes from thi biasedness of watching only SSR films and commercial movies. on a smaller scale we are still making content movies . it is just that people outside telugu states will never know it as they are not marketed there. telugu industry of 1950's had women empowering roles as welll (contrary to 1970 ones ) .first search those then give your half baked knowledge . colur photo, mattu vadalara,gaami, brochevaaru evarura are few small budget movies which you will never hear about. go stereotype telugu movies and kannada movies on base of kgf, RRR . that is the only merit you can have

​@@slayer_142 Among everyone you got their names only. So Sad. The names which u said, they are far better among other Commercial movie makers. RRR won Oscar which was made by Rajamouli and Shankar Sir's Indian(1996) movie was sent for Oscar though it missed. So, Rajkumar Hirani, Shankar and Rajamouli are among top directors in India. Yes, If u personally believe that all Commercial Movies are nonsense then that's a different thing but these directors whom u have mentioned are best Commercial movie makers. Even Shankar Sir's thought was very different and ahead of time but later he changed to target the mass audience. There are many more filmmakers whose name who made bullshit pictures but unfortunately u took those name who are best among Commercial Movies.

2 Min Silence for People who are fighting over Art Film and Commercial Film, Calling RRR Bad, Rajnikant Bad without even understanding, What Mr. Satyajit Ray actually meant by "Fairly Backward Audience".

[@sadhankanjilal4208]

See guys south indian filmmakers are very clever.They know marketing strategies.. But our bollywood directors and filmmakers do not know and they also nowadays they don't focus on action films..but focus on emotions,intuitions,and soulful cinemas That is the reason south indian films are liked by people

[@ayanfeelingood]

It's about time we concluded in unison that there is a necessity for both: experimental innovative cinema vis-à-vis commercial mass masala flicks. Satyajit Ray back in his time too knew this pretty well... it's true in India we do have a "fairly backward audience" - not to be mistaken as "uneducated" or "savage", just whose tastes aren't as sharpened as much as those with the privilege of exposure to greater cinema experience from around the world. These are the masses - beaten, bruised, exhausted from their daily mundane life rat race of monotony who want nothing more than a sense of escapism as a form of entertainment - and nothing serves them better than larger-than-life commercial masala flicks (be it from Bollywood or from any of the other industries like Tamil, Kannada, Telugu etc.). These cinemas, irrespective of their lack of logic or sense, connect to these masses - who are just here to have some good time - like in a theme park, without having to use one's head too much. These movies/cinema are the money spinners, revenue generators - not just for the respective producers, but for the entire industry. When producers mint a lot of money through this action masala scheme of business, they're able to pull of many more movies, even the ones that dont make any money - including the so-called "experimental" or art house cinema. Cinema is a commercial art form - No money, No Cinema... Without money you cannot have DOPs, script writers, choreographers, editors, sound engineers, technicians of all sort, let alone the Stars! The entire world fortunately or unfortunately works this way (no wonder even Hollywood has cracked this code and now one sees abundance of those horsecrap Marvel movies). This is perhaps going to be the way forward for the foreseeable future... lots of crap big budget extravagant action movies, and few drops really good cinema (for those with a taste) somewhere in the midst of the ocean of the former. And this is a tried and tested Business Model, noone would dare mess up this workflow, otherwise you end up becoming a Bengali Tollywood industry - which has been struggling to survive for years now because they came to acknowledge the need for this co-existence a bit too late.
