A dual point-of-view: Cinema and reality

Gaurav Chopraa

These days, I have been going through a dual point of view in my mind. I recently watched Parzania and Black Friday and got my brain ticking about cinema.

I've had a few arguments with friends over this too. I don't know why people have idealistic expectations from cinema.

After watching Parzania, I realised how easy it is to manipulate the audience easily. I thought it was an attempt to create controversy and get attention.

I mean why just Parzania, other films do that as well. Is it that easy to get the audience to shed a tear or two on an issue based on communal issues? Why would you make a Parzania in English if it wasn't to sell it to the foreign audience.

Also, enough research was not done on the film. On the other hand, I am totally impressed by Black Friday. I mean, imagine a film made four years back that still looks so fresh and is technically sound.

I really loved the passion with which the director Anurag Kashyap has made the film. I think Parzania and Black Friday are two extreme examples of how cinema can depict what's happening in society.

They are two different genres and have been made with different agendas. I think Parzania could be a film made to cater to the festival circuit , but Black Friday on the other hand, was an attempt to make an authentic film.
