Changing Believes...

I watched a pretty nice movie a few days back, it's a new film called 13B, this film made me think that perhaps it is high time that one should look at the art direction and the art directors of the "modern" Bollywood in a new light, the Bollywood along with the Indian TV has always made me very "itchy" whenever it comes to the factor of at direction, it seems it becomes a hurdle which they seem never be able to cross but for a few days I am seeing a real change in that concept and this particular film made me really stop and think...MAN! our art directors have learnt a lot1 although it is not something to be extremely proud of as they should have caught on decades ago...what I hate the most in the callous art direction is discontinuity, right from the era of Devanand right up to the Generation Dhoom, the Hindi Film Hero is always prone to pick up a pistol from the floor and shoot at the bad guys with it which, by that time would have miraculously transformed into a revolver(and some times an air pistol)...but in this film 13B I strangely noticed the change of a hammer, which I had noticed earlier but dismissed with the usual disgust toward the laxity of art direction, was an intentional act I really thought whether I should change my opinion regarding this short coming of our directors then thought, what the hell? They have been getting chances of correcting themselves from the very day Indian Cinema started, let them have all the time in the world, they need!

Then.....

.....Now!


The only thing we can hope is these people would actually use those wonderfully active brains a bit more, it's just they are too miser to spend a little more of it....I don't know why?
