MY CINE LOVE

WHEN I WAS IN FOURTH STANDARD, I had a great inclination towards acting and film production but those days it was very tough to find a platform where new talents could get there dream come true.  I was in continuous search to find some ways to show my  talent. As later on, I started to prove it by my tasks.

I asked some of my friends who were my classmates too, that I was going to show them movie in my home. All got excited because that time we had no TV even, so, how I managed I tell you this interesting incident.

I got a lens and covered it with a square paper leaving a space to reflect sun light into it which I managed to put a mirror facing the sun throwing sunlight direct to the lence which I had to hold straight taking sunlight and reflect it to the other side wall of white color as the screen.

Now, I had already collected some waste of movie reel pieces. I did one of piece downside and the image appeared quite clear and strait up. All were cheered up with premier show of my movie show. The show was of different cinema reel pieces of wastage thrown by cinema projector operator daily while cleaning the projection room.

Now, all of my friends and their friends too started to come to my show every after noon. My room got crowded daily. When my parents knew everything they chided me lovingly but they were pleased seeing my cleverness about my interest.

I continued it this way. But, slowly I was in search of some upgraded formula in which images could move.

.

I queried in the city market if they had some projector, but they not only but also smiled at me. I felt I was asking about some strange thing. During this query schedule a shop keeper showed me a projector which was hand operated machine and a reel was thus taken into movement like hand operated gramophones. I was very happy to see that projector as it was like a boon bestowed upon me by the shop keeper. 

I asked the price. He told the price (I don't remember now) which was out of my pocket money budget. I had to return without projector. I kept on wondering and wandering to satisfy my creativity. Suddenly an idea struck in my mind. Winter was coming near so many groups of city were preparing for staging Ram Leela shows. I didn't approach them instead I assembled my friends and asked them to stage Ram Leela show in our colony. They laughed at me. I asked my parents, they also laughed on my idea. But I didn't give up. I got stronger with my idea and held upon again our friends assembly. 

I told them that I would surely stage Ram Leela with or without them. Having known my strong desire most of them agreed to support me. Now we decided that none of us was  

Bollywood Dream

Most of Indian youth want to be a movie hero or heroine but most of them get failure and leave their dream after some time. Is to keep a dream to be a hero or heroine is wrong? No, but approach must be right. We will discuss some of the points in this article today.

Indian youth is crazy for cinema and film stars. They dream to be a star one day on celluloid screen. Many people having crossed 50 or 60 of springs but still feel a flame for films deep within. We see youth copy film stars in every aspect of their life. The hair style, the dress trend, the behavior, the conversational way, the attitude for career, the vehicle which is used by their favorite stars, etc. all the things are deeply affected by cinema. Some girls leave their parents home to make their dream come true. They reach Mumbai. A few of them get chance to act while a majority get failure and helplessly choose other carriers instead of acting. Many young men waste a lot of money for their dream in Mumbai and when they don’t find right opportunity, they return. There is also a majority of such people who has crossed 60 and still feel a flame for films.


Dream to be a hero or heroine
It’s very ridiculous to see that every body wants to be a hero or heroine. Everybody feels a hero or heroine hidden deep in them. This hero or heroine teases them at times. They should know one thing why many heroes and heroines who act in one or two movies and disappear suddenly; nobody knows where they have gone. Even many sons and daughters of famous film stars are launched with a huge pump and show but there is no guarantee to be successful surely. When they are not signed again they have to sit at homes. There are a lot of examples in the Mumbai film industry. This is true. That’s why heroines in film industry often seen in search of some successful businessman or cricketers or any other field’s player who can be trapped to marry and provide them a financially secure life instead of film stars whose name and fame are very momentary.

Fraudulent agencies

The youth is always in search of some person, agency or institute to get an opportunity to take a jump in the film industry. There are a lot of advertisements are published in the all mediums of media who boast to give a guarantee to make them super star. But, most of them are found failed to do so. They exploit youth in various ways mostly. Aspirant females are misguided and diverted to sexual exploitation, while males are monetary exploited; in return they curse their fate and travel back hopelessly. Many of them don’t come back and disappeared in the Maya Nagari (The illusive city).

How to get in

It’s not a crime that you want to make your career in film line. There is a proper way to be successful there. First of all you must evaluate yourself. Analyze yourself what you deserve to. Every body is not born to become a bollywood hero or heroine. Suppose, what would happen if every youth was selected as hero or heroine? Who would become villain? Who would play side roles and junior roles without which a screen play is never written? Amrish Puri played mostly negative roles whose importance in a movie often considered more important than a hero. It was taken for granted that if the villain character is Amrish Puri then the movie would get its cost definitely. Who can forget an immortal character of Sholay the dacoit Gabbar Singh?
So, first you have to estimate your personality carefully to what you are suitable for exactly.

Acting is not cake walk or picnic. A producer or director or investor is not a child who will invest his movie on a newbie who even doesn’t know what the frame of a camera is. There are many things to know before to face the camera as body language, voice modulation, pronunciation, modern acting techniques, correct way of speech, ancient and current theater, inner creativity search, character and story analysis, movie and acting analysis, understanding short scenes, understanding camera-dance-action, dubbing, relaxation of body and mind, mirror practice etc. A lot of things are to be understood before rush to Mumbai.
So, it is always a good thing if a newbie has at least one month acting training to try to search opportunity in movie industry. Some untrained youth think their money will give them opportunity as to capture a movie immediately. Infect, it’s a coincidence and misunderstanding which is not a right way to try.

Success
There are a lot of acting schools in almost every city of India or some near by big city where acting schools and drama groups run their activities. There is a trend these days that two or three dramas are thought to be a green signal to find an opportunity in acting industry.
Acting field is emerged into a very lucrative field where one can find name, fame and money in a short period. Growing channels and a lot of film productions even in various cities can give a handsome income plus satisfaction. A low talented person also can get opportunities in own or near by city in working video albums, tele films and dramas and if he has passion for his interest then sky is the limit.
Infect, talented actors are hardly required everywhere and casting directors, directors, producers, event management companies are always in search of them.
So, first of all test your hobby as to fulfill your satisfaction or to doing it just to show others you have done a project co incidentally.
Prepare a plan to be an actor just as we plan to start a business. If you go proper way, you are sure to get the success. That’s not impossible. So, best of luck, friend!
