#pan-India film RRR

[fanhackers]

Naatu Naatu–Not My Oscar Win

Much before Naatu Naatu won the Oscars for Best Song, Screen Junkies made an honest trailer for RRR. It was the first time I’d seen an Indian film—a non-Bollywood, South-Indian film at that—take up western media attention, at least on YouTube. It was a fun trailer for a fun movie; it would not be a stretch to say I enjoyed it. Then, Naatu Naatu was nominated for an Oscar. The director of the film, S.S.Rajamouli, went on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and very gently corrected the very white host when he called the film Bollywood, because it is not. The Oscars happened, Naatu Naatu won, and India—the pan-India upper-caste crowd—rejoiced for taking the global stage, never mind that “pan-India” is a contentious term that flattens out the regional diversity present in India.

As of today, there are 269 fanfics on AO3 for RRR, of which 252 are written in English. To be sure, that is more than a lot of fandoms produce on AO3 for desi media. I would not personally categorize RRR as a desi film, but it’s not not desi either. It was representation on a global stage; for a moment, the desi identity, held up against that of the Western gaze, burned bright, and a lot of desis, both in India and the diaspora, felt seen and perceived.

In her introduction to the edited essay collection, Fandom, Now in Color, Rukmini Pande talks about the ways in which race becomes an issue in fandom and fan studies only in so much as we talk about racialized media:

“…the discipline of fan studies itself has constructed a default referent for that term [fandom]—mostly white fans located in the US and UK and organized around categories like transnational and global fandom and seen to be somewhat othered by language, geographical location, or media text—K-pop fans in Brazil or fans of Star Trek in Russia, for example (Madrid-Morales and Lovric 2015; Mikhaylova 2012).” PANDE, RUKMINI. “INTRODUCTION.” IN FANDOM, NOW IN COLOR, 1-13. IOWA CITY: UNIVERSITY OF IOWA PRESS, 2020.

RRR, as a film, was a story about two freedom fighters who fought against the British rule in India—two very real freedom fighters, whom the director has admitted the film is not historically accurate about. The optics of it stand out; that, at a moment where anti-racist work seems so imminent, the award went to a song from a movie about a colonial struggle, without truly dealing with the after-effects of such a struggle on most “third-world” countries.

I don’t honestly know what connections I am drawing with this. I’ve been using Pande’s work as a way to reframe my own complex feelings about RRR winning, given the accusations of casteism S.S.Rajamouli has faced across his career, the ways in which the pan-India films have often been repackaged Bollywood, and the internal politics of South-Indian (here, specifically Telugu) identities getting melted into a singular Indian identity on a global stage with no context for the histories of these lived experiences. I’m not quite sure where I’ve arrived, but what do you think?

INDIAN MAINSTREAM GOES INTERNATIONAL

In past, Indian Cinema has gone international for mainly the artistic films made here. But after Bahubali and especially after RRR, its different now. The world have seen some Grand film from India with last Rajamouli's films, now it's opened the expectations for the big films from India in International level. And those kind of also sells all over India without any language barriers. That really helps the producers to put money in their films which will go Pan India, then the Pan Indian films can easily go International if it connects worldwide audiences. And that resulted in making more films in such way as KALKI 2898 AD and RAMAYANA etc. Mainly these 2 films the upcoming Rajamouli film with Mahesh Babu really focusing going Pan World. 

Team KALKI 2898 AD has started showcasing the film's updates in International events and making of the film is that standard with great technicians. The setup of the film is which the worldwide audience can get excited about and Prabhas's Bahubali reach is an added value. Important International VFX companies are working for the film.

Team RAMAYANA hired Hans Zimmer for music work of the film with Great AR Rahman collaboratting with him. And VFX work is done some important international companies. 

And we know that the next Rajamouli film will do no less than these films. 

So, That's what i meant when the tittle said INDIAN MAINSTREAM GOES INTERNATIONAL.

“ El futuro pertenece a los creadores de historias.”

LA ÚLTIMA PELÍCULA

Dir. Pan Nalin, India, 2021.

Es una película del director indio Pan Nalin, también director de “Samsara”.

“La última película” fue enviada por India a los Óscares para competir como Mejor Pelicula Extranjera, mientras que, para los Globos de Oro, mandaron a “RRR”. Desgraciadamente, no pasó nada en los Oscares con esta película, sin embargo, es una maravilla, que ha sido reconocida en diversos festivales internacionales, principalmente de cine independiente.

“La última película”, al igual que “Cinema Paradiso” o “The Fabelman”, habla del amor que un niño siente por el cine, cuando lo descubre a temprana edad. Toda la película es un homenaje al cine y está cargada de nostalgia. En este caso, en vez de hablar de la transición del cine a la televisión, habla de la transición al formato digital.

Samay, de 9 años, protagonista de este film, vive en un pueblo remoto de la India llamado Chalala. Su padre, conservador y religioso, cree que el cine es malo. A pesar de esto —al igual que en “Cinema Paradiso”—, Samay se hace amigo del proyeccionista y le ofrece la deliciosa comida que prepara su madre para ver miles de películas gratis.

Samay se apasiona tanto con el cine que contagia con este interés a sus amigos y busca hacer todo por cumplir su sueño de ser cineasta.

Esta película se estrenará próximamente en salas mexicanas y vale mucho la pena verla, no solo por la historia de lucha de Samay, sino por la gran riqueza audiovisual, que la acompaña, muy al estilo indio. ¡No se la pueden perder!Próximamente en su cine favorito.

Top Indian Filmmaker

Top Indian Filmmaker: The Impact of Tollywood on Indian Cinema India is home to a vast and diverse film industry, with different regional cinemas contributing to its growth and global appeal. Among them, Telugu cinema, or Tollywood, has gained prominence, thanks to the efforts of visionary filmmakers and producers. These creative minds have not only redefined regional cinema but have also influenced Indian cinema on a larger scale. With the primary focus on the Top Indian Filmmakers, let’s dive into the world of Tollywood and explore how they have shaped the landscape of Indian cinema, along with a look at influential film producers like Deepan Boopathy.

Top Tollywood Filmmakers Tollywood has produced some of the most influential filmmakers in the Indian film industry, whose work has transcended regional boundaries and achieved national and international recognition. Directors such as S.S. Rajamouli, Trivikram Srinivas, and Koratala Siva have carved a niche for themselves with their unique storytelling, stunning visuals, and ability to appeal to diverse audiences.

S.S. Rajamouli, in particular, is a name that stands out. His magnum opus, Baahubali, redefined the scale and scope of Indian cinema, becoming a pan-Indian success and earning accolades worldwide. With innovative storytelling, grand visual effects, and universal themes, Rajamouli demonstrated how regional cinema can break through national and international markets.

Another notable name is Trivikram Srinivas, known for his intelligent scripts and emotional depth. Films like Attarintiki Daredi and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo are examples of his ability to connect with audiences while delivering mass-market entertainment.

Pioneering Tollywood Producers Behind every successful filmmaker is a producer who supports their vision and ensures that the project comes to life. Deepan Boopathy is a film producer who has made significant contributions to the Indian film industry. Known for his keen eye for talent and innovative production strategies, Boopathy has played a pivotal role in producing films that have resonated with both critics and audiences.

Directors such as Sukumar, known for films like Rangasthalam and Pushpa, have brought a raw, earthy charm to Telugu films, which resonate not only with regional audiences but also across India.

Producers like Deepan Boopathy, alongside established names such as Shobu Yarlagadda and S. Radha Krishna, have been instrumental in supporting such directors. Their backing has allowed filmmakers to explore bold new ideas while ensuring that the films cater to both regional and global markets.

The Role of Top Tollywood Filmmakers in Indian Cinema’s Growth Tollywood filmmakers have played a crucial role in the growth of Indian cinema. Films like Baahubali, RRR, and Pushpa have demonstrated the potential of regional cinema to make a mark on the global stage. These films are no longer just “regional” but have become pan-Indian successes, breaking box office records and gaining international recognition.

The technical brilliance, high production values, and universal themes in these films have set new benchmarks for Indian cinema. Directors like S.S. Rajamouli and producers like Deepan Bhoopathy have helped regional cinema break out of its traditional mold, making it more accessible and appealing to a broader audience.

Tollywood Titans: Top Filmmakers and Producers Shaping Indian Regional Cinema Tollywood filmmakers and producers are shaping the future of Indian regional cinema.

Filmmakers and producers from Tollywood continue to innovate, using state-of-the-art technology, compelling storytelling, and grand visuals to create films that appeal to audiences across linguistic and cultural divides. By doing so, they have cemented their place as titans of Indian cinema, ensuring that Tollywood remains at the forefront of regional and national cinematic growth.

Film Friday: 5 Selected Films of This week!

The majority of individuals enjoy spending their free time watching movies. And it gets much more fascinating when it comes to intriguing genres like thrilling, action, and romantic drama. And this week's WhatsOn editorial Colin McIlwaine has come with reviews of interesting films to make your weekend worthwhile. 1. A Man Called Otto Tom Hanks gives his usual excellent performance as a grumpy and anti-social man. A man who turns out to have a good heart in this thought-provoking film. Otto initially appears as someone who is determined to keep everyone at a distance and even, to pick an argument at every available opportunity. The truth is that Otto has been deeply affected by the death of his wife. It is Marisol, the mother of the young family who has moved in beside him who finally manages to penetrate his defenses and bring out a softer and kinder side to him. As the film moves forward, we see a very different Otto and we are challenged to think about neighborly relationships and perhaps, the less attractive aspects of our own personalities https://youtu.be/eFYUX9l-m5I 2. M3GAN This was a film that I approached with a degree of curiosity, wondering how the story would pan out. M3GAN is a four-foot-tall, lifelike robotic doll, who begins as a child's toy and takes on the role of her "friend”. But who soon turns out to have a much more sinister and dangerous side to her personality? Cady, the child in question, has lost her parents in a car accident. And it is her aunt and now guardian who has created M3GAN. Fantasy and reality walk closely together in this film and we are constantly wondering when good will triumph over evil and when this creation that has gone badly wrong will get her comeuppance. https://youtu.be/BRb4U99OU80 3. I Wanna Dance With Somebody I had been looking forward for some time to seeing the Whitney Houston biopic. And it was certainly a great film. If at times harrowing and sad, I reflected on a life that ended far too soon and in such tragic circumstances. We first meet Whitney at an early age, as she grows up in the company of greatly talented artists such as Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick. Also including her own mother, Cissie. Whitney is influenced by her involvement in the Church and encouraged by family and friends to make good use of the singing talent which God has given to her. As she grows, we see her struggles with her own sexuality, the pressure of other people's expectations, and the demands of her rapidly burgeoning career. Marriage and motherhood seem to add to the pressures and at times. It is sad to watch this clearly very talented entertainer trying to cope with all that life throws at her. British actress Naomi Ackie captures her troubled personality and also her ability to captivate an audience with her beautiful voice. A film worth a watch and indeed, more than one. https://youtu.be/9tfemzaMkoU 4. RRR For someone who has become increasingly interested in films made on the Indian sub-continent, this one made for a fascinating few hours on New Year's Eve. Set in India in 1920, during the period of the British Raj, it is the fictional story of two revolutionary heroes and their adventures as they take on the might of the Empire. The film is at times quite explicitly violent. At the same time, extremely amusing, as we see people running faster than tigers, kick-flipping over motorcycles, and flying through the air. There is an enjoyable musical score and the prolonged dance sequence is particularly entertaining. The film is over three hours long and yet, it seemed to pass quickly. This is a film that is well worth a watch. Especially if someone wants to get away from reality for a little while. https://youtu.be/nXQVoJdDdBg 5. Wild Mountain Thyme I recently discovered this 2020 film on Netflix. Set in County Mayo in the Irish Republic (a lovely part of the world which I know well). It features Northern Ireland's own Jamie Dornan and British/American actress Emily Blunt as Anthony and Rosemary. They are an introverted pair in their thirties. And they live on neighboring farms and seem to be made for each other. But they always beat around the bush and try to avoid expressing what is really going on inside their hearts and minds. It is only when his wealthy American cousin, Chris attempts to get fresh with her that Anthony is forced to confront his true feelings for Rosemary. Also, his difficult relationship with his father, Tony. It is an interesting story, full of dry humor and a good exploration of human emotions and interaction. https://youtu.be/kadUgcIxODM Read the full article
