Wish 'wah' Roopam

Recently Vishwaroopam triggered some questions? Is making a commercially successful film the peak of a filmmakers career. Is making a feature length fiction the peak of film making?

The answer is a strict NO....

Its mental marketing for years together that has build up this 'awe' for mainstream mass communication.   People working on documentaries, video art, educational films, advertisements are equally good at film making or even better most of the times. If we actually dig deep we can find documentary ventures in India which are far ahead of the mainstream biggies formally, temporally or emotionally.

I think this is a common experience for many :
Raju : Yes I work in films.
Suresh : So which feature film did u direct ?
Raju : I was working in a documentary on Salt Farmers......
Suresh : Docu's and all eh! So basically you are yet to be a film maker...I have some contacts why don't you try those....
Raju : _____________
