Yesterday I went to watch Tamasha for 2nd time, for me the most awaited movie of the year, and I found that so far it is definitely one of the most brilliant movie made in India. But I got dis-hearted knowing the comment's of other viewer's , and it made me think why it didn't worked for them and so I am trying to enlist the reasons,
1) Most People in india are incapable to understand intelligent movie's, and this category includes two kinds,
one: those who don't want to understand, people of this kind keep an invisible wall for certain things, they have coded themselves for not confronting few things, they resemble robot shown in the movie but they would never accept it, if you will try to make them understand, they would say, this is the reality of life, to live like robot.
Then the other kind: they are the ones who should be called intellectually dumb, people of this kind need intellectual revolution in their mind, my suggestion for them is buy some brain. They are the people who live in big apartment, move in luxury car, they know how to earn money, they must have been regular visitor of movie theater's but certainly don't have enough brain to understand a simple story of a Storyteller.
2) Inability to Digest anything New
I will explain this point by an example, when I left the theater on interval for washroom, I heard an interesting conversation in Bojpuri among two friends sitting next to me,
one was asking: So Ranbir has double role and Deepika met two different Rabbir, isn't it?
Another one was better: No, Yaar, Ranbir is mad.
1st one : Oooo.
So here people are so much habituated of double role that they expect it everywhere and what surprised me that expecting double role in every next movie is not uncommon for them. But saying the truth in a new, non-masala way is totally non-digest able. Now I am not surprised why the disastrous movies like Happy new year and Om shanti om comes out to be super hit.
3) Breaking Pattern is not allowed
Here most people has a patterned lifestyle, so how could they believe a movie, that say you can come out of the pattern, people are very rigid to this pattern, this include getting a settled job (settled means now you don't have to change), settled job so that you can get married, produce kids ( may be because everyone wants to contribute for us to become no 1 populous country in the world) , buying/building house/flat/apartment, buying insurance/mutual funds, huge bank balance, and few these days include vacations for a change, that too has became a fashion, anyhow you need something interesting to show others in facebook timeline because of your fear of being forgotten. So you never learn to live, you live for approval, you just assemble few routes already followed for making it appear as life.
So how could you understand a movie that is about finding your own way, finding your true purpose of being here, totally being yourself, breaking patterns, dropping masks , enjoying everyday every moment and not just waiting for holiday or vacation or retirement.
Or else Imtiaz ali should have made a movie on or around marriage theme, here people are very fond of marriage, for some the only purpose of taking birth is getting married, I am proud of you Mr Imtiaz, and Our Legend Mr A.R.Rahman who has composed two heart touching songs like 'Safarnama and Tu koi aur hai'.
I am writing this because I am very dis hearted, a movie which should be appreciated as reality check for all Indian's get so boring response, it's not the defeat of makers, it's the defeat of viewer who failed to learn, who perhaps has forgotten how to value the valuables.
