Tollywood Tales

When our "Hero B" rams his car into a truck, the latter flies off in the air a long distance! Our "Hero C" can lift a tractor sky high from an agricultural land. Our lean, mean and strong "Hero M" can crack steel with his fist. Does Mr. Isaac Newton know that his formula for Force "F=ma" doesn't hold true here?

Many a times, a question comes in my mind. "Why don't we make our own unique superhero movies?"
Unfortunately, we all know the answer. So, no matter how many times I ask myself, the question only lasts a moment. "All our movie heroes are superheroes." They are least restrained by the laws of physics.

And then comes the new age superhero who not only does the science defying superhuman stunts, but also demonstrates conscienceless barbarism.

And that's the tale of majority of the tollywood movies. If I can make a senseless movie that is a big box office hit, then you can see a whole bunch of idiots who'll try to emulate the same senselessness and beyond to make some money. They could make good sensible movies. But that's not the "formula" you see!

No movie goes by without demonstrating factionalism - swords and maces drenched in blood, chopping men's heads and limbs so nonchalantly! And the results actually show up somewhere else altogether - on the society we live in. Man's mind is so weak that 'what he sees is what he becomes'. As we can see, the instinctive human reflexes to any conflict have noticeably gone impatient, disrespectful, inconsiderate, merciless and harming. That's the ugly truth.

When comes the cure formula?
