Hatred campaigns?
Targeted trolling?
Paid noise?
All of it exists. But none of it can dent a good film — not even by 1%.
It only stings average or weak ones.

In a time when even Prime Ministers and Chief Ministers are targeted online, no one is immune. Not even with power.
So as a film industry, we must accept this reality.

But here’s the bigger truth — we’re feeding the beast.
Producers are paying social media influencers, which only fuels this chaos. Many make careers out of reviews, views & gossip — because money flows that way.

Let’s change that.
Respect real film journalists.
Ignore the noise. Respect the craft.

Recently read Annihilation of Caste — it opened my eyes.
Sad truth: most youngsters from the Hindu community know so little about our own history and religion.

Not just UPSC, they cheat in every All-India exam and capture positions. That’s why the poor in those states remain poor!

A SATYA CONFESSION TO MYSELF
—— Ram Gopal Varma

By the time SATYA was rolling to an end , while watching it 2 days back for 1st time after 27 yrs, I started choking with tears rolling down my cheeks and I dint care if anyone would see
The tears were not just for the film, but were more for what happened since

Making a film is like giving birth to a child originating from throes of passion without truly realising what kind of a child I am giving birth to
That’s because a film is made in in bits and pieces without one really knowing what’s being made and when it is ready the concentration is on what others are saying about it and after that ,whether it’s a hit or not, I move on too obsessed with what’s next to reflect and understand the beauty of what i myself created

Till 2 days back I ignored the countless inspirations it sparked by dismissing it as just another step in my journey towards an objective less destination

Coming back to the hotel after the screening of SATYA, and sitting in the dark i I din’t understand why with all my so called intelligence, I did not set this film as a benchmark for whatever I should do in the future
I also realised I didn’t just cry for the tragedy in that film but I also cried in joy for that version of myself .. And I cried in guilt for my betrayals of all those who trusted me due to SATYA

I became drunk not on alcohol but on my own success and my arrogance though I didn’t know this till 2 days back
When the bright lights of a RANGEELA or a SATYA blinded me, i lost my vision and that explains my meandering into making films for shock value or for gimmick effect or to make a vulgar display of my technical wizardry or various other things equally meaningless and in that careless process, forgetting such a simple truth that technique utmost can elevate a given content but it can’t carry it .

Some of my later films might have been successful but I do not believe that any of them had the same honesty and integrity which is in SATYA

My very unique vision that drove me to create something path breaking in cinema also blinded me to the value of what i myself made and I became a man hurriedly running so fast looking up towards the horizon. that I forgot to look down at the garden I’d planted beneath my feet , and that explains my various falls from grace

I obviously can’t make any amends now for what I already did , but i promised myself 2 nights back while wiping away my tears , that every film I make from now onwards will be made with a reverence towards why I wanted to become a director in the 1st place

I might not be able to make a film like SATYA ever again , but not even having an intention to do so is an unpardonable crime against Cinema

I don’t mean that I should keep making films like SATYA but irrespective of the genre or the subject matter the least it should have is the sincerity of SATYA

When Francis Coppola was asked by an interviewer about a film he made after GODFATHER, whether it will be as good , I could see him squirming because i could see that it din’t occur to him

No one asked me about any film I was about to make post SATYA whether it will be as good, but what’s worse is that I din’t ask myself

I so wish I could go back in time and made this one cardinal rule for myself , that before deciding on any film to make , I should watch SATYA once again… If I followed that rule I am sure I would not have made 90% of the films I made since then

I truly mean this as a wake up call to every film maker , who just gets carried away in self indulgence due to his own state of mind at any given moment without measuring it against the standards set by either themselves or others

Finally now i took a vow that whatever little of my life is left , I want to spend it sincerely and create something as worthy as SATYA and this truth I swear on SATYA

TW : SUICIDE : BANGALORE

◾Atul Subhash, 34 year old
◾Got married in 2019
◾Driven to suicide by wife, in-laws, biased laws & system within 5 years
◾Left 1.5 hr suicide video, 40 page note
◾Wife demanded 3 Crores Alimony
◾Wife didn't let him even see the face of his child
◾Jaunpur Family Court Judge Rita Kaushik demanded 5 Lacs to settle case
◾He gave lacs to his wife to help her family but then got accused of dowry
◾His wife's father died of disease soon after his marriage but his wife got an FIR under sections of Murder slapped on his family claiming he died of shock because of demand of "dowry"
◾He had to attend 120 dates in last 2 years
◾ Family court judge passed order of 40,000 per month maintenance for a 2 year old child because he didn't pay her the bribe she had asked
◾He used to do household chores, got his wife job in @AccentureIndia , helped brother-in-law financially, spent lacs on birth of his child and got his death in return
◾This is not a suicide video, this is testimony of every married man in India facing false cases from his wife and a one sided battle in the courts

In the last words of Atul - I refuse to pay and I choose death because I don't want my money to be used against me by my opponents to torture me and my family

Disgusting to see politicians thinking that they can get away talking any kind of nonsense. When your words can be so irresponsible it’s stupid of us to expect that you will have any responsibility for your people. It’s not just about actors or cinema. This is not abt any political party. It is not okay for someone in such a respectable position to talk such utter baseless rubbish infront of media and think that it is okay. We all should condemn such practice which will reflect poorly on our society.

A child born in North India has less chances to touch age 5. (Similar to Afganistan)

A Child born in South India equivalent to the child born in the USA.

Missing your magical presence in reel life

glory is yours wherever you'll be
