Find the “ASAL”

    Recently the Thulu  film ‘Oriyrdori Asal’ celebrated its 50 days of successful show and made a milestone in the history of Thulu film industry.  Director Vijaykumar Kodiyalbile, did the ditto copy of his own  thulu drama into this film and  succeeded in a way to entertain the spectators with a mixture of dialogues in thulu but failed to maintain the theme of effect of SEZ on Mangalore land throughout the film. The film starts with scene of problems faced by Mangalore people and moves on with a story of few families. Director Vijay kumar also tries to include the affect of SEZ on Mangalore and creates a hero who fights against this , and creates awareness in the people in this film. But this theme of effect of SEZ dies when a love grows inside the hero making the film a clear commercial movie , even though it becomes the ‘best’ for our people. 

      On the other hand a film based on a  lady who loses her land due to a construction of a Highway , in Puttakkana  Highway by B.Suresh struggles to attract the people. Even though this film gains success in keeping the theme till the end it failed to reach the people. The main cause for this is not the fail of director’s ability; it’s the mentality of today’s people about art films. This generation mainly focuses on the entertainment rather than focusing on the effects or problems faced by others. Thus making many talented directors to stay back from making such type of good theme based films in fear of flop.

     But , director like B. Suresh even though faced with flops, just concentrates only on the publicity of his strong themes. The percentage of reaching the common people counts more for him than just making money by launching commercial movies.

   So, final request chose ‘ASAL’(The Best)  in the films , not the entertainment.
