solitude sometimes teaches you the reality. I just watched wake up sid. Nice flick, without a story. There are rare movies in indian cinema which have story now a days. Some work, others dont. There is no real formula to make them hit. Their crew call them different! Huhh... Right!! you must have heard it before but there are less which leaves impact. Ye mera India is one of them. Very less being heard of. No publicity, no international audience appeal yet an amazing sense of commitment towards society. Wake sid was another one, very simple with no story. Just a normal life drama of a of a struggle-r and a college going brat. Sometimes they seem to be so contrasting movies but yet both leaves mark. It had been puzzling to me how these artist make it work.
Both had no masala in it. No guest characters and not even item numbers, still they bind you to the seat as if your own life is being depicted. Those small melodies on back ground reminds me of the sounds of rain in real life or sometimes the hymns in next door temple. My full stars to both of them---whatever that means...
By the way I should not be too emotional about hindi movies coz' i know the next in row will be a trash.
Three cheers to both of the movies. ..

Very nicely said. Only movies that are close to what people experience in real life are the ones that leave an impact and are remembered. Obviously they do not attract the crowd coz there are hardly any exquisite locations and absolutely no thumkas.
I will definitely be watching these 2 movies soon. Thanks for suggesting them.
OK! I don't believe that film industry throws away good movies. Publicity is important, and goodness, no matter how good it is, must stand out to be noticed.
I also don't believe that real life movies is the only good genre. Jane Austen said,"Drama is to life what ships are to seas- they tend to plum its depth, traverse its senselessness."
While I am not against real life stuff, drama, music and dance is what entertainment is all about. It's not necessary for every movie to prove something or show some aspect of everyday life. But it's important for a movie to show people dreams. Dreams are what movies are made of, and dreams are people come to see in a theater. They already are living a boring "real" life. What they need is surreal.
