From Passion to Project: Has Modern Filmmaking Lost Its Soul?
- •Modern filmmaking has become an 'assembly line,' prioritizing speed and quantity over artistic depth, leading to films that are quickly forgotten.
- •Historically, iconic films like 'Mughal-e-Azam' took years, even decades, to create, driven by immense passion and dedication from filmmakers like K. Asif.
- •Filmmakers of the past, such as Raj Kapoor, Guru Dutt, and Bimal Roy, immersed themselves completely in one project, allowing for genuine character development and emotional resonance.
- •While technology offers advancements, over-reliance on it without passion can lead to a lack of emotional depth, unlike films such as 'Baahubali' where technology was used with dedication.
- •The shift from 'jubilee' runs to 'opening weekend' box office success highlights a change in focus from artistic longevity to immediate commercial gains, diminishing the value of patience and craftsmanship.
