<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There are maybe at most 2 filmmakers in Bollywood who know how to make entertaining films, lucky for us, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajkumar_Hirani"><i>Rajkumar Hirani</i></a> is one of them. The thing I love about Rajkumar Hirani the most is that he takes his time making his films. So many filmmakers today rush and make 2-3 movies a year, but as I have often said, the key is not in the quantity but quality of film you make. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There's no sense in making 10 films that flop when you can take the same amount of time to make one really good film which is a super hit blockbuster - it takes time to come up with a good story and dialogues. Rajkumar Hirani's first film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munna_Bhai_MBBS"><i><b>Munna Bhai MBBS</b></i></a> earned triple the amount of money it cost to make. His next venture <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lage_Raho_Munna_Bhai"><i><b>Lage Raho Munna Bhai</b></i></a> earned 10 times the cost of the movie and his third film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_Idiots"><i><b>3 idiots</b></i></a> earned more than 11 times what it cost to make it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Mr. Hirani's latest venture is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P.K.(2014_film)"><i><b>PK</b></i></a> which has already shattered shattering box office records, it would come as no surprise if the film breaks all existing box office records. Yes, it's that good. The only thing I was worried about while watching this film was that the ending is good. Most times a hindi film will be good but then in the last 30 minutes the filmmaker completely fudge it up. But PK is everything you expect from a Rajkumar Hirani film and more and it has a great ending.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Come awards time I doubt there will be any competition for this film, I have seen nothing in the last year which comes even close to how good PK is. One can go hoarse praising <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aamir_Khan"><i><b>Aamir Khan</b></i></a>'s performance in this film. But it's not just Aamir who does good work, in fact all the actor in the film have delivered wonderful performances from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anushka_Sharma"><i>Anushka Sharma</i></a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushant_Singh_Rajput"><i>Sushant Singh Rajput</i></a> to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boman_Irani"><i>Boman Irani</i></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saurabh_Shukla"><i>Saurabh Shukla</i></a>, </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanjay_Dutt"><i>Sanjay Dutt</i></a> </span></span>and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parikshit_Sahni"><i>Parikshit Sahni</i></a> all have done full justice to their characters.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Music can be the soul of a film and the best kind of music is when it flows with the story so well that you hardly notice it and it doesn't distract but entice you further into the story. PK does just that. There's not a single moment where you feel the music is overpowering or that it doesn't belong in the story.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There are many scenes which are brilliantly done. Even though you know what's coming it's the way that the scene unfolds which makes it memorable. In all, I highly recommend you see this film if you haven't already. It's a good story, certainly very entertaining and everyone associated with it is on top of their game.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--xkO31IjPfU/VLLkgg3rYVI/AAAAAAAAFLE/nRcN1ZK8-Bg/s1600/Happy_New_Year_Poster_(2014_film).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--xkO31IjPfU/VLLkgg3rYVI/AAAAAAAAFLE/nRcN1ZK8-Bg/s1600/Happy_New_Year_Poster_(2014_film).jpg" height="200" width="138" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Over the Last decade I have been really disappointed with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shah_Rukh_Khan"><i>Shah Rukh Khan</i></a>'s choice of roles and the films that he's been doing. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed going to a SRK film saying wow what an amazing film, it was probably sometime in the last century. So, when <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_New_Year_%282014_film%29"><i><b>Happy New Year</b></i></a> was about to be released I had very low expectations. The good thing about having low expectations when watching a film is that if there's any part of it that's any good you start to enjoy the film. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, against my better judgement and on the recommendation of others, I decided to watch Happy New Year. Sadly, aside from a couple of funny moment I was really disappointed, the film was not entertaining at all, the only character that was fun to see was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhishek_Bachchan"><i>Abhishek Bachchan</i></a> as Nandu Bhide.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There are several Hollywood films like the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean%27s_Trilogy"><i><b>Ocean's Trilogy</b></i></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashdance"><i><b>Flashdance</b></i></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_You_See_Me_%28film%29"><i><b>Now You See Me</b></i></a>, etc. which the film takes inspiration from and there's nothing wrong with that as long as the end product is entertaining. The real problem with <i><b>Happy New Year</b></i> is that it's not entertaining. The end product is a useless waste of time and makes you wonder why anyone would spend Rs. 125 crores ($20 million) on this desperate attempt at film-making when that money could've been put to better use elsewhere. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have never been a fan of the <b><i>Ocean's Trilogy</i> </b>and <i><b>Now You See Me</b></i> was good but it was predictable, I'm not going to comment on how bad <i><b>Flashdance </b></i>is. Part of the problem is whenever Bollywood tries to copy a Hollywood film they take the worst films that are outthere and make the story less tolerable. Arguably one of the best heist films is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_le_flambeur"><i><b>Bob Le Flambeur</b></i></a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Pierre_Melville"><i>Jean-Pierre Melville</i></a>, if you're going to take inspiration from something that's where you start.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have watched a lot of good Hollywood heist films and sadly this one is far from being in that category, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Fallon"><i>Jimmy Fallon</i></a>'s <i><b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi_%282004_film%29">Taxi</a></b></i> is a better film than <b><i>Happy New Year</i></b> and that usually falls under the category of bad heist films, so you can imagine how bad HNY must be if I'm rating it lower than that.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here are some interesting statistics... Below is a list of Bollywood actors and how many times in their career as a lead actor they had the highest grossing film of the year. Since 2014 is not over yet I'm not including it in the list.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It was a year which took us on a season-long journey of Barney and Robin's wedding on <b><i>How I Met Your Mother</i></b>. A year when we said goodbye to Dr. Cristina Yang on <i><b>Grey's Anatomy</b></i>. A year filled with lots of new shows (most of which were canceled by the end of the season). A year with the controversial season finale of <i>How I Met Your Mother</i>. With the 2013-2014 season coming to an end, we can now separate the winners from the losers. Sadly, like last season, this year too there were more losers than winners.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The new show <b><i>Chicago PD</i></b> turned out to be quite a gem. I was surprised that the show was actually well written - the cross-over episodes with <b><i>Chicago Fire</i></b>
were brilliantly executed. The success of <i><b>Arrow </b></i>last year and <i><b>Marvel's
Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.</b></i> this year has spawned many more comic book
adaptation for the 2014-2015 season - these include the upcoming <i><b>Flash</b></i>
spin-off from <i>Arrow</i>, <i><b>Gotham </b></i>(a Smallville-esque version of Batman), DC
Comics' <i><b>Constantine </b></i>and <i><b>Marvel's Agent Carter</b></i> with Hayley Atwell
reprising her role from the <i><b>Captain America</b></i> movie franchise.</span></span><i><b> </b></i></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b>Once Upon A Time In Wonderland</b></i> had the potential to be a great show but it lacked what <i>Chicago PD</i> did so well - cross-over episodes and guest appearances with <i><b>Once Upon A Time</b></i> - I have no clue why this wasn't done, at one point the lead characters end up in Storybrook (the fictitious town in <i>Once Upon A Time</i>) and still there was no interaction with the lead characters - it ended up hurting the show and probably caused it's demise. <i><b>Mind Games</b></i> was an interesting idea but just didn't have the audience to keep going, the same goes for <i><b>Almost Human</b></i> and <i><b>Intelligence</b></i>. No doubt, Matthew McConaughey, left the biggest impression on everyone this season with his hit show <i><b>True Detective</b></i>. His portrayal of Rustin Cohle is sure to earn him many awards. After his memorable performances in <i><b>12 Years A Slave</b></i>, <i><b>The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug</b></i> and as Khan Noonien Singh in <i><b>Star Trek: Into Darkness</b></i>, Benedict Cumberbatch returned brilliantly in Season 3 of <i><b>Sherlock</b></i>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Out of all the shows which were on TV in the 2013-2014 season, below are some of the ones I watched 'till the end of the season (or 'till the show got cancelled) and feel are the best or worst of the year:<br /><br /><b>Best NEW Drama</b><br />1. Chicago PD<br />2. Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.<br />3. Almost Human<br />4. Intelligence<br />5. Mind Games</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Of late I've noticed that a lot of different types of diets are being written about. The list includes: the 80:10:10 diet, Beverly Hills Diet, Cabbage soup diet, Grapefruit diet, South Beach diet, Gluten-free diet, Eat Like A Bird diet, The Cookie diet, Shangri-La diet, Baby Food diet and even one called the Purple Food diet (where you eat </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">food that's </span></span>purple </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">coloured</span></span></span></span>). These are just a handful of diets hundreds more exist with weirder and whackier names than these.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm not an expert on dieting but in my research for this post I did discover that unless you're training to be a bodybuilder, model, athlete, entertainer or are in a profession which requires you to have a six-pack, there's really no need to diet and exercise excessively. Recent studies have shown that overweight people who are </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">physically active and physically fit actually live longer than people who are slim but are not </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">physically active. Of course there are extreme situations; if a person purposely overeats on a regular basis, drinks excessively or enjoys being a couch potato - obviously, they're not going to have a long or healthy life.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I actually knew someone who was perfectly healthy had a healthy diet, exercised regularly and had a stress free life - still he had a heart-attack at the age of 36 and died. I also know many overweight people who've lived long healthy lives past their 80s and 90s. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The one thing to remember is that in moderation most foods and drinks are not bad for you. If you have junk food 5 times a day on a daily basis, that's going to cause problems. But, if you have junk food once a month it shouldn't be an issue for most people (there are always exceptions though, for example someone might be allergic to peanuts). The same goes for drinking - doctors say a drink a day is actually good for you, but if you drink 10 beers a day that's going to hurt you.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The best diet is one where you respect your body and keep healthy by eating in moderation. There are lots of delicious foods and drinks out there and I think it would be a crime not to be able to have them. The key again is moderation, don't overdo it and you'll be fine.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>SPOILER ALERT!</b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">If you haven't seen the series finale (final episode) of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_I_Met_Your_Mother"><i><b>How I Met You Mother</b></i></a> stop reading here. This post contains lots of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_Alert"><i><b>spoilers</b></i></a>.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JvFl_LsmOrc/UzuHn2v45wI/AAAAAAAAFGk/5NYQMifJLfM/s1600/2cb11e443fab47dcc7f9babcdc2e77ab.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JvFl_LsmOrc/UzuHn2v45wI/AAAAAAAAFGk/5NYQMifJLfM/s1600/2cb11e443fab47dcc7f9babcdc2e77ab.png" height="80" width="200" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Yesterday the final episode of the hit comedy HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER aired on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBS"><i><b>CBS</b></i></a>. Soon after the episode finished many people took to the internet and started reviewing and commenting about what they saw. So far it seems there is a mixed feeling amongst the shows viewers - people either loved the episode or hated it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Personally, I belong to the loved it club. I thought it was brilliant and possibly one of the best series finales ever. It tied up all the loose ends beautifully and took us into the future and showed us where the characters end up. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">As for the people who were saying they hated it, I don't </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">know </span></span>which show these reviewers watched for 9 seasons, I refuse to believe they've seen every episode. </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span>If they had they'd know that the reason <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_Stinson"><i><b>Barney Stinson</b></i></a> is a womanizer is because he had his heart broken by a woman he was very much in love with. Just like he was with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Scherbatsky"><i><b>Robin Scherbatsky</b></i></a> when they get divorced; this explains why he returned to his previous state when </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">the divorce was too much for him to handle</span></span>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZerubthCWyI/UzuHhegRdJI/AAAAAAAAFGg/HL60y8oszXw/s1600/1291c8dc0d084897c8ba96b70b18b6dc.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZerubthCWyI/UzuHhegRdJI/AAAAAAAAFGg/HL60y8oszXw/s1600/1291c8dc0d084897c8ba96b70b18b6dc.png" height="111" width="200" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Another issue the negative reviewers had was that the mother dies and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Mosby"><i><b>Ted Mosby</b></i></a> ends up with <i><b>Robin</b></i>. I don't see a problem with the writers killing the mother because you can kind of guess she's probably dead from the first episode; why else would <i><b>Ted</b></i> be telling his grown kids about their mother? I think <i><b>Ted </b></i>and <i><b>Robin </b></i>didn't end up together earlier because at times he was kind of a jerk and immature and couldn't decide whom he really wanted (<i><b>Victoria</b></i> or </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b>Robin </b></i>or </span></span><i><b>Stella</b></i> or <i><b>Victoria</b></i> or <i><b>Robin</b></i>) but the </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">years he spent with his wife taught him to be patient and loving and prepared him for <i><b>Robin</b></i></span></span>; and many years after his wife dies he is finally able to compose himself to go and woo the unwooable girl.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F45_N0eVcv0/UzuIH9ZvjpI/AAAAAAAAFGs/Nkim3frr-XI/s1600/ed3f25cfdf9f439fc35ed72ffbad1463.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F45_N0eVcv0/UzuIH9ZvjpI/AAAAAAAAFGs/Nkim3frr-XI/s1600/ed3f25cfdf9f439fc35ed72ffbad1463.png" height="111" width="200" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I also love the fact that the writers showed how the gang drifted apart because that's what happens in big cities. As you get older you have new experiences and there's no longer time for hanging out with the gang - priorities change. You can't really hang out till 4am at a bar with the gang when your baby is hungry or you have to wake up early to take your kids to school. Especially when you're in your 40s and the bar is filled with 20 year olds.<br /><br />I think it only proves how good the writers and actress <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristin_Milioti"><i><b>Cristin Milioti</b></i></a> were that the audience was able to get so attached to <i><b>the mother</b></i> in one season and felt sad to find out she died. Death is part of life and so is moving on and I think that's the real message from the writers of HIMYM. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm sure when the shock wears off and people have a chance to think about it they'll realize how <b>legen </b>(wait for it)<b> dary... </b>Legendary! the final episode truly is...</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Like every year I was looking forward to the 86th Annual Academy Awards this year and I must say it was a great show last night. Host Ellen DeGeneres was witty and funny. I had watched most of the nominated films so it was very exciting to find out which picture would be awarded the best of the lot at the end of the night. I was disappointed that <i><b>The Book Thief</b></i> wasn't nominated for best picture I thought it deserved to be there. In case you missed the show last night, I won't keep you in suspense any longer, below is a list of all the nominees and winners: </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Since the first weekend of July 2013 approximately 79 Hindi films were released in the second half of 2013. Out of these 75 were flops, only 3 (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhaag_Milkha_Bhaag"><i><b>Bhaag Milkha Bhaag</b></i></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai_Express"><i><b>Chennai Express</b></i></a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Masti"><i><b>Grand Masti</b></i></a>) can be considered a hit because they were able to make a profit for their distributors, and 1 (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A._Pass"><i><b>B.A. Pass</b></i></a>) was a super hit because it was made for a miniscule budget of Rs. 2 crore and made a profit of approximately Rs. 3 crores for its distributor.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KZb0EpsY6ss/U0Y2ryt9VUI/AAAAAAAAFHA/rurrwFPsmQc/s1600/CE_BMB_D3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KZb0EpsY6ss/U0Y2ryt9VUI/AAAAAAAAFHA/rurrwFPsmQc/s1600/CE_BMB_D3.jpg" height="258" width="530" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">15 of the 79 films had a budget between Rs. 20-50 crores - out of these 15 only two (<i><b>Bhaag Milkha Bhaag</b></i> and <i><b>Grand Masti</b></i>) managed profits of Rs. 17.52 and 8.33 crores, respectively. 7 of the 79 films had a budget between 75-125 crores and only 1 of them (<i><b>Chennai Express</b></i>) managed to make a profit for the distributor. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhoom_3"><i><b>Dhoom 3</b></i></a> had the largest budget (Rs. 125 crores) of all the releases in the second half of 2013 and just failed to recover its cost for the distributor even though it earned a humongous Rs. 261.25 crores in nett collections. Distributor's share of <i><b>Dhoom 3</b></i> was approximately Rs. 122.31 crores giving them a box office loss of Rs. 2.69 crores.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The biggest flop of the lot was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahabharat_%282013_film%29"><i><b>Mahabharat</b></i></a> - with a budget of Rs. 50 crores - it only managed Rs. 0.67 crore in nett collections providing a loss of Rs. 49.33 crores for its distributor. <i><b>Mahabharat</b></i> is an animated feature film it was directed by <i><b>Amaan Khan</b></i> and had a many top actors (<i><b>Amitabh Bachchan</b></i>, <b><i>Madhuri Dixit</i></b>, <i><b>Ajay Devgn</b></i>, <i><b>Vidya Balan</b></i>, <i><b>Sunny Deol</b></i>, <i><b>Anil Kapoor</b></i>, <i><b>Jackie Shroff</b></i>, <i><b>Manoj Bajpayee</b></i> and <i><b>Deepti Naval</b></i>) lending their support. Animated films rarely do well in India so it's a wonder why anyone would risk Rs. 50 crores on a film of this genre?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">With 75 of 79 films flopping - and 22 of the 75 with budgets between 20 and 125 Crores - the outcome of the second half of 2013 was extremely grim.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Many times people have asked me why is it that bad movies make 100s of crores and good movies will maybe earn 10-20 crores? Well, the simple answer is marketing. But there's more to it than that...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">With most top earning actors only doing one or two films a year fans look forward to their next big budget release. Fans are what drive ticket sales and they come in hordes to see their favourite star on the big screen - "First day, first show."<br /><br />Knowing this, producers and distributors go to great lengths to release a big budget film on at least 2500 to 3000 screens. They know the film is no good and will only be able to earn money in the first week or two, so, they release it on as many screens as possible to earn money back before people realize the film is no good and stop coming. Most filmmakers even pay well known critics to get their films 4 or 4.5 stars out of 5 in reviews (filmmakers have admitted to that).<br /><br />The problem is... the way film production works today is not based on the strength of the script. Films today are produced based on the talent attached to it, the bigger the stars the more money the producer is able to get, script be damned. The more they get the more they pocket. Since the distributor is not given any paperwork by the producer, he is unable to check how much the film actually cost to make - he is at the mercy of the producer and gives the producer whatever exuberant amount he asks for without ever seeing one frame of the film - only based on star cast and other talent attached to the film like director, producer and music director.<br /><br />For example, there's no way that the film <i><b>Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara!</b></i> cost 85-100 crores to make when <i><b>Krrish 3</b></i> cost Rs. 115 crores. <i><b>Krrish 3</b></i> has a lot of visual effects and action sequences which will make one believe that the cost could be 115 crores, but, unless Akshay Kumar charged Rs. 60 crores as his salary there's no reason for </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">OUATIMD </span></span> to cost so much especially since the first film (<i><b>Once Upon a Time in Mumbai</b></i>) had a budget of 28 crores and it had a bigger star cast. Of course, </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">OUATIMD </span></span> </b></i>wasn't able to recover its cost. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Part of the problem was that </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">OUATIMD </span></span></b></i>didn't get as wide a release as the producer and distributor had wanted. Most of the Cinema Halls were still playing <i><b>Chennai Express</b></i> and were unable to accommodate screens for </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">OUATIMD </span></span> </b></i>since <b><i>Chennai Express </i></b>was such a success. Instead of 2500 screen, <i><b>OUATIMD </b></i>was released on 1600 screens that too on smaller screens (less seating) and with some screens shared with <b><i>Chennai Express</i></b>. <b><i>OUATIMD </i></b>only managed to earn 60.11 crore before the audience gave up on it. With these mega budgets it has become extremely difficult for films to earn their money back, especially with producers only being interested in filling their own pockets.<br /><br />Gone are the days when <i><b>Hum Aapke Hain Kaun</b></i> and <b><i>Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge</i></b> were made for Rs. 4 Crores. <i><b>HAHK </b></i>had a very limited release, initially it was released with only 26 prints, as word of mouth grew in it's favour so did the number of screens. <i><b>HAHK </b></i>eventually went on the earn over 100 crores - that's 92 crores in profit and a return on investment of 2300% (that's right <i>...two thousand three hundred percent...</i> I thought I would type it out in case you thought you mis-read it). <i><b>HAHK </b></i>is considered one of the greatest blockbusters ever in Hindi cinema. Name one movie today that can give such ROI - today distributors are lucky if films make their money back, a ROI of 1% is considered a bonus. Nowadays we have films which are not even 1% as good and cost at least 20 time more.<br /><br />Here's an idea... Next time you want to see your favourite star wait for a week or two before you go see a new release you will soon see how fast the film flops. If its genuinely good then after the first day or two word of mouth will increase it's audience, especially with so much social media around.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
By Anant Mathur (October 14, 2013) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This has probably happened to you at some point while watching a film - you suddenly say "I knew that was going to happen." It just means you're smarter than the writer of that film, I don't mean intellectually; simply that your level of understanding the story is greater than his/her ability of writing it. Predicting a scene just means that you've watched or read so much over the years that you're able to figure out what's going to happen before it actually does - sort of like history repeating itself or a <i><b>déjà vu</b></i> moment.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What once worked in a Shakespeare play might not work anymore because the audience can predict what's gonna happen. This has nothing to do with the ability of the writer but our ability of understanding the story. I've been schooled in writing/making films so I know the ins and outs and all the gimmicks that go along with developing a screenplay. The trouble is the audience is also learning all this and getting smarter as years pass (especially with the help of <b>"Making of"</b> featurettes available on DVDs and BluRays).</span></span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Very rarely do I find the
movie going experience entertaining any more - unless it's a classic
I'm watching (for the umpteenth time) chances are I won't like it. Personally, films that I enjoy the most now are ones that entertain in a new way. What I mean by this is... because so many stories have been told over the year it's very difficult to find something original, I mean how many times can we watch a boy meets girl or rich girl poor boy story. No, what I expect now is not an original story but one that's presented in a new way or with a twist on the original.</span></span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The trouble is 99% of film makers believe wholeheartedly that they know what the audience wants and thus they keep churning out the same old lame stuff; and then they wonder why their films fail. To these film makers signing a big star guarantees a big opening and recovery of the cost in the first week - the story be damned! But soon they'll realize that this no longer works, films are getting expensive and the first week is not enough to recover the cost. Films have to last for several weeks and must have a good story otherwise why would people pay their hard earned money to go to the movie theater when they can download it within a few days from some pirate website or watch it on TV in a couple of months for free?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The future is very bleak for films even gimmicks like 3D can't save the film industry when there are better stories elsewhere. If films were free people wouldn't care how bad the stories were - this is why TV soaps are so popular - they're inexpensive to watch - you don't have to shell out Rs. 200 per person to watch them. The problem being ignored is that most screenwriters are learning the same style of writing that existed 30, 40 or 50 years ago. If you're a scientist or a medical doctor you're not going to learn methods that were taught 50 years ago, you'll learn the most modern methods. Unfortunately, in Bollywood, there is no real body that exists for teaching how to write screenplays.</span></span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Screenplays evolve with the story, a style that works for one story won't necessarily work for another. Writers need to learn that boy meets girl doesn't work because it's predictable the audience already knows they will live happily ever after; what happens in-between doesn't really matter - unless you can present it in a new way - who cares. Until writers learn this and stop being brainwashed into writing the three acts style, films will be predictable and boring and we will witness many more <i><b>déjà vu</b></i> moments...</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Since
the first weekend of April 2013 approximately 44 Hindi films were
released in the Second Quarter of 2013. Out of these 44 films 40 were
flops, 1 was average (because it was barely able to recover its
cost) and only 3 <i>(<b>Aashiqui 2</b>,<b> Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani</b>, <b>Fukrey</b>) </i>can
be considered hits. Out of the 3 Hits two were able to make a profit because they were made for a miniscule budget and managed huge profits for their distributors. <i><b>Aashiqui 2</b></i> made for Rs. 9 Cr. gave over 271% return on investment (ROI) and <i><b>Fukrey </b></i>which was made for a micro budget of Rs. 5 Cr.</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> but delivered a ROI of over 200%</span></span>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />4 of the 44 films had a budget which equaled or exceeded Rs. 30 Cr.

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Many times I hear people in the industry describing writers as people who lock themselves in a room and then come up with a screenplay a short time later. Although this is a part of the screenwriting process it's not completely accurate. The process of writing begins in the writers mind - he is usually not locked in a room. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 14px;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When writing, most writers first think about the story idea and try to come up with scenes to go with it - there are times when a story idea just isn't strong enough for a screenplay. For example, if I can come up with a number of scenes in my head then I begin to write, but until then it all stays in my head. Usually during this thought provoking time I'm out watching, enjoying, experiencing and not thinking about the story; but it is in my subconscious. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 14px;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A screenwriter is only as good as the experiences he's had. I've said it many times... in order to create believable character you must know how people interact and behave with each other. How they walk, how they talk, their body language is all as important as the dialogue they recite - more so in certain situations.</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> For example, I can tell what part of the world a person is from just by the way a person walks.</span></span> A man walks differently than a woman, people of different ethnic backgrounds react to situations differently and even walk differently. A person might be calm in a tense situation while another may explode or lose their cool in the same situation. Unless you watch people or experience life you won't know these things much less write about them or create believable character; no matter how good a writer you are.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For instance, I go to coffee shops or restaurants or food courts or might be traveling when suddenly I'm struck with an idea for an amazing scene - that's when I grab a napkin or use the back of a receipt, a plate, a cup or any kind of writing device I can find to write down the brilliant idea. This kind of thing happens for a while - several hours, days or weeks later I may have come up with enough scenes to write the first draft.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The first draft is extremely important because this is where you figure out how long your screenplay is going to be and what you need to do in order to make it shorter or longer. If you come up with 40-50 scenes but they're not long enough to create a 2hr movie you need to add something to make it longer without losing your idea or making it boring and dragging the story along. That addition might be another character, a sub-plot or (for a Bollywood musical) an item number. </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is after the first draft is written that writers usually lock themselves in a room because now is the time to concentrate and make sure everything works. Making sure that the scenes link properly, you have left anything put, tying up loose ends - all this is done at this time. </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">From there on further drafts may be required to get to the final brilliant screenplay. </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Between drafts at some point you </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">might discover that a scene work better in the middle or the end rather than the beginning or vice versa.</span></span> </span></span> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Remember only a fool tries to sell their first draft - no matter how good you think your first draft is - you can always improve it! I give myself a break between drafts. You'll be surprise how disappointing certain scenes become after the writer thinks about them for a few days.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">By Anant Mathur (May 29, 2013)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Every
year I look forward to the new American TV season and wonder which
shows I will still be watching over the next few years. After a pretty good<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span>2011-2012 season, which launch<span style="font-size: x-small;">ed<span style="font-size: x-small;"> several good shows, the expectat<span style="font-size: x-small;">ion for t<span style="font-size: x-small;">he </span>2012<span style="font-size: x-small;">-<span style="font-size: x-small;">2013 were raised once again</span></span></span></span></span>. With the 2012-2013 season coming to an end, we can
now separate the winners from the losers. Sadly<span style="font-size: x-small;">, unlike last season, this year </span>there were more losers than winners. <i><b> </b></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b>Arrow </b></i>was <span style="font-size: x-small;">the surprise hit of the year, no one had any ex<span style="font-size: x-small;">pectations from this comic book <span style="font-size: x-small;">adaptation, but to everyone`s surprise it<span style="font-size: x-small;"> turned out <span style="font-size: x-small;">one great <span style="font-size: x-small;">episode after another until season end</span>.</span></span></span></span></span> <i><b>Chi</b></i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b>cago Fire</b></i> had a horrible pilot episode which looked like a poor rehash of the blockbuster film <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b>Backdraft</b></i> - it</span> <span style="font-size: x-small;">waas sure </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">to be </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">cancelled - but I`m glad that I stuck with it because from episode 2 onwards <i><b>Chicago Fire</b></i> did a 18<span style="font-size: x-small;">0 degree turn for the better<span style="font-size: x-small;"> and there was no looking back.</span></span></span></span></span></span> <i><b>Zero Hour</b></i> looked <span style="font-size: x-small;">li<span style="font-size: x-small;">ke a sure<span style="font-size: x-small;"> fire hit<span style="font-size: x-small;">, </span>but got can<span style="font-size: x-small;">celled after 3 episodes, proving how difficult it is to predict <span style="font-size: x-small;">which show(s) will be loved<span style="font-size: x-small;"> the audie<span style="font-size: x-small;">nce. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Out of all the shows which debut in 2012-201<span style="font-size: x-small;">3</span>, below are the ones I watched 'till the

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gcnG5p2xguI/UWbpzNN7EOI/AAAAAAAAE_g/C728KsjNf_Q/s1600/SBAGR_Race2_Special26.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gcnG5p2xguI/UWbpzNN7EOI/AAAAAAAAE_g/C728KsjNf_Q/s400/SBAGR_Race2_Special26.jpg" width="540" /></a>Since the first weekend of January 2013 approximately 42 Hindi films have released in the first Quarter of 2013. Out of these 42 films 37 were flops, 4 were average (because they were barely able to recover their cost) and only 1 <i>(<b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saheb,_Biwi_Aur_Gangster_Returns">Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns</a></b>) </i>can be considered a hit because it was made for a miniscule budget of Rs. 7 crore and made a profit of approximately Rs. 3.6 crores for its distributor. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />9 of the 42 films had a budget which equaled or exceeded Rs. 30 crores - out of these 9 only one (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_26"><i><b>Special 26</b></i></a>) managed a very tiny profit of Rs. 0.53 crores. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_2"><i><b>Race 2</b></i></a> had the largest budget (Rs. 60 crores) of all the releases in the first quarter of 2013 and thus failed to recover its cost for the distributor even though it earned a colossal Rs. 96.34 crores in nett collections. Distributor<span style="font-size: x-small;">'s</span> share of <i><b>Race 2</b></i> was approximately Rs. 44.66 crores giving them a box office loss of Rs. 15.34 crores.</span></span><br />

Your guess is as good as mine as to why anyone would risk Rs. 50 crores on stars like these when <i><b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Players_%28film%29">PLAYERS</a> </b></i>and <i><b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_%282009_film%29">BLUE</a></b></i>, which had much bigger box office stars, couldn't cross Rs. 30 crores in nett collection?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />Three films which had budgets of less than Rs. 15 crores (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABCD:_Anybody_Can_Dance"><i><b>ABCD - AnyBody Can Dance</b></i></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolly_LLB"><i><b>Jolly LLB</b></i></a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere_Dad_Ki_Maruti"><i><b>Mere Dad Ki Maruti</b></i></a>) managed to recover their cost and sadly were the only bright spots in a remarkably dull first quarter. With <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPL_2013"><i><b>IPL 2013</b></i></a> taking over for the next two months, the outcome of the first half of 2013 looks extremely grim.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="text-align: left;">By Anant Mathur (March 25</span><span style="text-align: left;">, 2013)</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Frankenstein%27s_monster_(Boris_Karloff).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Frankenstein's_monster_(Boris_Karloff).jpg" width="196" /></a>When creating characters for your story you should think of yourself as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Frankenstein"><i><b>Dr. Frankenstein</b></i></a>. Just as <i><b>Frankenstein</b></i> brought a creature to life from the sum of various body parts, you too are giving life to a character that doesn't exist. And, in order to do that, you're taking different parts from your own imagination and experiences to create a being that your audience can believe is "Alive!".</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sometimes writers get so lost in the creation of the story that they forget that the characteristics they've implanted their character with won't allow them to do certain things. The psychological elements are usually missing altogether in most Bollywood films. For example, if you take a character like <i><b>Chulbul Pandey</b></i> from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dabangg"><b><i>Dabangg</i></b></a>, there are certain nuances and body language which the character resonates. Chulbul would never behave the way <i><b>Prem </b></i>from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hum_Aapke_Hain_Koun..!"><i><b>Hum Aapke Hain Kaun..!</b></i></a> would, but that doesn't mean he can't have his own love story, it just has to be in his own style and must follow his mental state.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Having said that, this doesn't mean your character(s) can't do things which are out of character, but a situation has to present itself and it must be brilliantly written. For example, If the spouse of a lead characters were to die or be killed, there are different paths the character could take if it's a male who has suffered the loss; and if it's a female who has lost her husband her mental state would be entirely different.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/12/Dabangg.music.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="181" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/12/Dabangg.music.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I always recommend to new writers that they take Psychology courses or at the very least read a few books on the subject. It helps you as a writer to understand how a persons mind would react in any situation depending on their mood, situation and surroundings. For example, if your character is in a situation where he's being bullied, there are several scenarios that can come into play, depending on the type of character he is, he could 1) do nothing or 2) turn it into a humorous situation or 3) fight back, etc. it's important to know which one because it will define him to your audience. And if you choose the wrong scenario the audience will feel cheated and your character will become a farce.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It's not easy to write a brilliant story or screenplay but it does make it easier when you have a solid understanding of all the parts that make up your character(s). If you write ignorantly you risk facing the same fate as <i><b>Dr. Frankenstein</b></i>, in your case the monster will be your story or screenplay. But, if you can write brilliantly you will touch the height of success <i><b>Dr. Frankenstein</b></i> only dreamed of...<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); text-align: center;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="text-align: left;">By Anant Mathur (March 10</span><span style="text-align: left;">, 2013)</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/Actress_Lindsay_Lohan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/Actress_Lindsay_Lohan.jpg" width="142" /></a>In most civilized nations on this planet the law states that a person is innocent until proven guilty. But for the last little while the media has been jumping on stories in such a way that it seems that a person is automatically guilty until his lawyers can prove otherwise. Don't get me wrong I'm not making an excuse for the guilty; I am just pointing out how the media misleads viewers into thinking only in one direction... theirs. It's sad that today we live in a world where people have stopped using their brains and believe every little thing they hear on TV or read online or in social media. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If the media reports that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsay_Lohan"><i><b>Lindsay Lohan</b></i></a> stole a bag of milk, everyone automatically assumes that she did it because that's how the media is projecting it. Where's the proof? What ever happened to a fair trial and innocent until proven guilty?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />Media does not even believe in looking at evidence, all it believes in is getting the headline. If someone is suspected of something they spin it as if he/she belongs in jail. My personal favourite is when the media says a source has told them, who's this source, their imaginary friend. You can almost always bet there's no source when the media says a source has told them anything. It's no different than a Radio Jockey having their friends posing as listeners and calling-in to request a song. The best way to judge any case that's in the media is to read quotes. The media can't mis-quote people, so anything that is being quoted is true and everything else is likely untrue.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Evidence is not merely what a witness says. If a neighbor say<span style="font-size: x-small;">s</span> he saw or heard a couple fighting, where's the proof. The neighbor could have a grudge against them and be lying - all that will come out when he's cross-examined by the defense counsel - but the media won't tell you that, to them the suspect is not a suspect, he/she is guilty until they proves their innocence. A person cannot be found guilty just because someone says they did it, there has to be motive and proof of murder. Witness testimony is not proof. Also, being a witness is different than being an eyewitness. An eyewitness is someone who was present when and where the crime was committed a witness doesn't have to be present at the crime scene. A guy saying he heard gunshots at 3 am is not evidence - first of all what was he doing awake at 3 am. And how do we know he didn't dream it or that it wasn't a car backfiring. If the police find incriminating letters/texts/e-mails or threatening phone calls... that's evidence.</span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />The one thing the media can't tolerate is when a case doesn't go the way they predicted. Take the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._J._Simpson"><i><b>O.J. Simpson</b></i></a> trial for instance. The media was dead sure he was guilty and would go to jail and couldn't believe it when the verdict was <i>not guilty</i>. I'm not saying that O.J. was innocent but the court needs solid proof before it can convict someone. If there's reasonable doubt, the defendant cannot be found guilty. A persons guilt or innocence is based on evidence and not on personal prejudices. Lots of guilty persons go free because of a lack of evidence and sometimes the innocent are sent to prison, it all depends on how incriminating the evidence is.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2f/Oscar_Pistorius_2_Daegu_2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2f/Oscar_Pistorius_2_Daegu_2011.jpg" width="212" /></a>On Feb. 14, 2013, tragic events transpired at the home of the hugely admired, world-famous athlete <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Pistorius"><i><b>Oscar Pistorius</b></i></a> where he claims he accidentally shot and killed his girlfriend. Dubbed the Blade Runner, for his prosthetic legs, Pistorius faces a charge of premeditated murder in the Valentine's Day shooting.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Pistorius says he mistook his girlfriend for an intruder and shot her out of fear, while prosecutors say he planned the killing and attacked her as she cowered behind a locked bathroom door. The prosecution should have never charged Pistorius with pre-meditated murder; it's difficult to prove a murder is pre-meditated when it is a pre-m<span style="font-size: x-small;">e</span>ditated murder. In Pistorius' case it's near impossible.
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />From what I know of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa"><i><b>South Africa</b></i></a>, break-ins are quite common and most people, even the well off, own guns. Many of the people in rural areas shoot
first and ask questions after. Living in a gated community is no guarantee against intruders as security guards are often in on the crimes. </span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />If it hasn't happened to you, you can't possibly imagine what it's like when someone breaks into your house. How violated you feel and how you keep wondering why me? It completely changes your mindset, every time you hear a sound you jump. If there are guns in the house you would probably grab one before you went to check what it was. Now imagine that this is how your life is </span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">every day. Each moment you fear that someone could break into your house again and hurt you.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Personally, I'm against guns, but the only way for guns to be out of everyone's life is if the government bans the manufacturing of them. There are so many things that can be used as weapons in a house in case of an intruder, you don't need a gun. Guns kill and usually they kill the innocent!</span></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />I'm not condoning Oscar Pistorius' actions, he killed someone regardless of whether he thought it was an intruder or not. I can certainly understand his mindset if there was an intruder, but to try him for pre-meditated murder is unheard of. If anything the prosecution should've tried for Culpable Homicide (the unlawful <i>negligent</i> killing of a human being). </span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Forensics will play a big part in the Oscar Pistorius case. Chances are until the case is finally heard; it won't be known what exactly happened. We can speculate all we want but since we don't know what happened our own prejudices are what's dictating how we react every time we hear the name <i><b>Oscar Pistorius</b></i>.<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); text-align: center;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The 85th Annual Academy Awards, popularly known as the Oscars, take place this Sunday (Feb. 24, 2012). Most of us were not around when the first Oscar ceremony took place, so here are some fact and moments you may or may not know from the first Oscars till now.</span></span>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">-Since
the Academy Awards ceremonies began in 1929, 73 different people have

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span id="goog_12166000"></span><span id="goog_12166001"></span>Often I'm told by people that they're fed up of the run-of-the-mill stories they see in films and on television. My first response is that I agree with them but then as we converse further I explain why this exists today.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The film and television medium are not anything new<span style="font-size: x-small;">;</span> they've been around for many decades and generations. Hundreds of thousands of stories have been told over the years and as the audience watches more and more, they develop a better understanding of how stories are constructed and are able to figure out scenes and plot points before they are revealed to them; this makes the story dull and boring for them. The reason this happens is because over the years the people who first started in film and television have created formulas for writing for the big and small screens.<br /><br />Today, we live in a world where filmmakers and television artist are trained from some school or the other, a place where they have learned these formulas. The problem is that these formulas don't work anymore. As mentioned earlier, people today have watched enough television and films to figure out the end of a story within the first 2 minutes. I can usually figure out the whole story from a trailer - that's how dull stories are today.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Love stories have been done to death, especially in India, and now whenever someone goes to see a love story they know that the couple is going to end up together even before they get into the theater, how the story gets there is irrelevant. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Same is true for a murder mystery, you already know one of the characters has done it and chances are you'll know much before you're told who the killer is and won't enjoy the rest of the story. Gone are the days when you could stretch a storyline till the cows came home. Now people get bored. The audience is a little forgiving towards television programs because they don't cost all that much to watch, but films are expensive and if they disappoint they really turn an audience off.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>So how do you write a story that keeps the interest of the audience?</b> Glad you asked. For starters you can't just have one problem in your story. For example, you can't have a love story where the only issue is that the parents don't like the guy or girl and you spend the whole time trying to convince the parents that the guy or girl is the right choice. As a writer you need to give them more than one problem to deal with. One problem is solved and another one has to be solved then another two or three, each problem may only last 5, 10 or 15 minutes but it should keep the viewer glued to the screen. Similarly in a mystery, it's the opposite, you can't keep throwing twist after twist after twist into your story, it makes your story unreliable and very frustrating for the viewer to follow. The best mysteries are the ones which have one amazing twist at the end and the killer isn't one of the characters you've been following for the last 2-3 hrs. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span id="goog_12166014"></span><span id="goog_12166015"></span>When films were first made there were no formulas or styles, people just told stories the best way they knew how. Today, filmmakers get so wrapped up in formulas, style and the technical aspects that they forget about telling a good story. Going to film school is not about learning the technical aspects of filmmaking - <span style="font-size: x-small;">which</span> you can learn while on the job. Film school is about learning how to tell a brilliant story that people will enjoy for generations. If you can't make a classic what's the point of being in this field? Stop thinking about it as a business/cash cow and start thinking about it as an opportunity, an opportunity to tell your audience a story they haven't seen before. Tell your story the way you think it should be told, forget formulas and style, each story should be a unique experience and not a factory product.</span></span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XeCGmDFQgrA/UPf-PO2ZT9I/AAAAAAAAE9E/gqC_YUmR_9M/s1600/100-cr-club.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XeCGmDFQgrA/UPf-PO2ZT9I/AAAAAAAAE9E/gqC_YUmR_9M/s200/100-cr-club.jpg" width="153" /></a></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Now that the last year is done and gone the analysis can begin. 2012 has turned out to be a record breaking year for Bollywood, for the first time in history a record 9 films crossed the Rs. 100 crores mark in nett collection. In 2011, 5 films had joined the Rs. 100 crores club and prior to that 2010 saw two films and 2009 and 2008 had 1 film each which started this exclusive club. <i><b> </b></i></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b>Salman Khan</b></i> leads the way with 5 films in the top 7 of the 100 Crores club and <i><b>Ajay Devgn</b></i> is close behind with 4 films on this list. <i><b>Asin</b></i>, <i><b>Sonakshi Sinha</b></i> and <i><b>Kareena Kapoor</b></i> lead the way for women with 4 films each in this exclusive club. In total there are 18 films that have crossed the Rs. 100 crores mark and it looks like any list with the top 20 highest grossing Bollywood films will now most likely only feature films from 2008 onwards.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It's hard to believe but 2012 actually started of on a sour note with <i><b>Players</b></i> one of the biggest flops in Bollywood history. It wasn't until the final weekend of January when <i><b>Agnee</b></i><i><b>pat</b></i><i><b>h </b></i>was released and went on to be the first 100 crores earner of the year after that there was no turning back. March had trade analysts worried when <i><b>Saif Ali Khan</b></i>'s Big budget <i><b>Agent Vinod</b></i> couldn't keep its head above water and was declared a disaster. April saw <i><b>Housefull 2 </b></i>reach 100 crores even though there was strong opposition from IPL5 in April and May.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">What was even more shocking was the fact that <i><b>Son of Sardaar</b></i> and <i><b>Jab</b></i><i><b> </b></i><i><b>Tak Hai Jaa</b></i><i><b>n</b></i> were released in the same Diwali Weekend and both went on to cross 100 crores. In fact, from June onwards almost every month, except for October, had a 100 crores blockbuster (but 2 films in November made up for the October loss, methinks). June, July, August and September saw the release of <i><b>Rowdy Ratho</b></i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b>re</b></i></span>, <i><b>Bol Ba</b></i><i><b>ch</b></i><i><b>chan</b></i>, <i><b>Ek Tha Tiger</b></i> and <i><b>Barfi</b></i>, respectively - all of which went all to cross 100 crores, in fact, <i><b>Ek Tha Tiger</b></i> came close to the 200 crores mark ending its theatrical run at Rs. 199.30 crores. As mentioned above October was lul and November saw 2 films which were joined by <i><b>Dabangg</b></i><i><b> 2</b></i> in December to round out the year with 9 new film added to the 100 crores club.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">What this means is that people are returning to the theaters, the demand for big screen entertainment is growing at a record pace, Now if Bollywood can just keep the content fresh and the budgets down films might just be able to recover cost from the theatrical run itself. If budgets are kept around 30-40 crores for most big budget blockbusters, not only will the investors be happy but the distributors can also make a profit.</span></span><br />
