Good morning guys! 😊
Seems like I am high on discussions,
That you are 😛
Here goes one, which I have always observed people doing way too much, and this is euphemism.
Like in the fantasy genre, however great a piece is presented or executed in terms of everything, story telling, performance, graphics, cinematography.
But people just keep criticising it way too much, you can't even discuss shows or movies. Oh and even hollywood Or anything of the genre. Plus even if you genuinely try to explain story or perception behind it, they want to trash it saying there's no logic, etc.
I mean then why do you waste time seeing it?! Or chalo tumhara view tumhara hai, but then forcing your views down us, ki ye aisa hi hai.
Pata nahi kya problem hai.
So what are your views on this?
That's quite an interesting topic of discussion.
I would agree with you on people being too critical these days, specially if they have a preconceived notion like - kuch bhi ho jaye mujhe bas criticize hi karna hain. That applies to all genres, not just fantasy.
But... I also think when you are creating something, even if it's inspired from other works, you have to be at least careful about the execution.
Let's talk about Nazar and Brahmastra themselves.
Piya being a Daivik had control over all natural elements. The concept wasn't anything new. Because when you talk about natural elements, you can't create a new other than fire/water/air/plant/earth.
But the way she used her powers, at least I couldn't recognize it from known cult movies/shows. That's where Nazar did its work properly.
Whereas in case of Brahmastra, the concept I felt was quite good but certain VFX they used were trademark of popular shows/movies that you can't ignore even if you want to. Like when Dev got resurrected, it was totally like Moana. Trishul bit was fine but Shiva's sword even looked like from those light swords from Star Wars. Even Junoon's red aura. So that's like giving people a chance to criticize it. VFX ke chakkar mein bohut zyada hi copied laga which I don't think was necessary. The concept itself was good enough.
So here the faltered big time.
But it's purely my opinion.
Nikki what do you think?
