Of Movies and Entertainment

For those of you who did not notice, on the left hand side, now there is a copy right notice which says you are allowed to copy the content as long as you are willing to give credit to me. One might ask why? Well one of the readers felt that the content is good and people copying it should give me credit for my work. I, being a man who is always fair in considering the considerations of my readers, considered the consideration and put up that Copy Right thingy.
 Even after I mentioned I don't have anything against SRK there are people who got offended by my last post. So this one is a more detailed explanation on the last one. Did I ever mention that I am a movie fanatic. I watched a movie 4 times all alone bunking college on 4 consecutive days. That is how much I love the movies.  It is the best form of legal entertainment that a guy could get in 80s and 90s. There are a variety of movies of various genres that I watched ranging from comedy, war, historic, western, action, crime, thriller, noir, horror, independent you name it I watched it. I have my best movies in each of those genres. Movies gave my crippled imagination, wings to soar and fly.
Those were the days when movies were made for the sole purpose of entertaining the masses . Then came the movies that carried social messages that inspired the intellects, most of them flopped commercially because they failed to attract the masses. Then there were commercial movies  with a very subtle social message (usually the message shies away from showing itself, overshadowed by the commercial element). All these movies attracted me and I loved them all equally for what they were. 
I mean an action movie gave you lots of raw power and destruction, comedies were outright funny, horror movies showed horrors that would haunt you in the nights, thrillers thrilled you, serious movies made you think.
Then came the era of those movies that claim to be works of art or inspirational or message oriented, to put them in one word "master piece" but all they give is the routine run of the mill, mindless entertainment, now here, I have a problem. No my problem is not with mindless entertainment, i would prefer that any day and that is why I love "Om Shanti Om" for what it provides, mindless entertainment, with all the hindi movie cliches that can be pulled together into one movie. That is no easy job and I loved SRK in that movie. 
Now the problem is when people make these commercial entertainers and try to pass them as work of art or master piece grossly undermining the value of those terms. Movies like "Chak De India" although have a different theme, are still commercial entertainers for various reasons and can't be termed as a master piece. When someone tries to convince me otherwise, I get the same reaction one gets when undead people or zombies in a horror flick start doing an item dance for Madhuri Dixit's "Dhak Dhak karne laga". Again this is nothing against Madhuri I still think none of the bollywood babes dance as gracefully as she does.
All I am saying is that when you expect to eat biryani your mind  sets your senses  to eat biryani, the colour, the texture, the taste, the aroma and everything related to that. When you actually eat some crap that people try to pass as biryani (like that hotel in Coorg, where biryani tasted sweet and there was no meat) your mind would go ...What The Duck!! This is no biryani!!!
