Sudhir Mishra discusses industry zeitgeist through the times with neha sarin.
The present era is very different. It is interesting even though most of the people who are making films come from the film families. You know, in some respect, India is not a democracy yet. People pick on the politicians and say that a lineage system prevails there, but this system of bhai-bhatija also exists in our industry. I sometimes feel sad that the real good ones are not able to get a chance because of this. And who knows how many closet filmmakers are there, because, you see, there are so many bright people in this country that you never know how many of them might be burning with talent. Even across the various small towns in India, there might be many who have the talent but seeing the scenario in Mumbai, I don’t think they want to come here and that’s why, maybe, changes are not occurring now. Nowadays we don’t see anyone making a film as bold as “Guide”.
There’s another pertinent problem of the present generation, which is that the young people don’t respect the older generation. They insult them and are full of venom for the others. There are a lot of things and changes that the older generation don’t get credit for. The young generation claims that they invented sync sound. How could one forget that all Shyam Benegal’s films were sync sound; the films back in the 60s were sync sound. They take credit for things they don’t deserve!
If we notice, at present, technology has changed but the technique hasn’t improved. There is a difference between the two. The technique is not that superior even today. But again, there are some filmmakers, and especially the non-mainstream filmmakers, who do try to bring change. They make different cinema and involve different actors which has a different effect altogether. Even mainstream actors like Aamir, Saif and Ajay are those kinds of actors who think of creating that effect and are as good as any other actor in the world. We need such actors and filmmakers to effect that change through films over time.....Continue
