33 Years of #Shiva (07/12/1990).
Ramgopal Varma's "Shiva" stands as a significant milestone in Indian cinema, mainly due to its pioneering approach in various aspects of filmmaking. One of the most notable contributions of "Shiva" was its innovative cinematography and sound design, which were quite ahead of their time in the Indian context. The film broke new ground with its realistic and unorthodox visual storytelling, coupled with groundbreaking camera work, setting a new benchmark in the industry. Additionally, "Shiva" was instrumental in introducing fresh talent, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, aiding in the launch of several notable careers in Indian cinema.
Another key aspect where "Shiva" left its mark was in its portrayal of violence. Unlike the stylized and often exaggerated action scenes common in Indian films of that era, "Shiva" presented violence in a more realistic and gritty manner, influencing the way action sequences were handled in subsequent Indian movies. Alongside its technical prowess, the film was also acclaimed for its strong narrative and well-rounded character development. Moving away from the melodramatic norms of the time, it focused more on creating relatable characters and engaging storylines. This shift not only enriched the film's appeal but also had a lasting impact on the narrative styles of Indian cinema. In essence, "Shiva" is often regarded as a turning point in the Indian film industry, marking the beginning of a new era, especially in the action and crime genres, and has influenced a generation of filmmakers.

The film starring Mahesh Babu and directed by SS Rajamouli will be released in two parts.
SS Rajamouli established the two-part pattern for blockbuster films with his Baahubali, which is currently reaping the advantages. Previously, Ram Gopal Varma divided his mafia drama Rakht Charitra (which introduced Tamil actor Suriya to the Hindi film industry) into two parts. That, however, did not work. More recently, Hemanth Rao collaborated with Rakshit Shetty on the magnificent Sapta Sagaradaache Ello - Side A, which was released in theaters a few months ago. He is back this week with the sequel Sapta Sagaradaache Ello - Side B.
According to a source close to Mahesh Babu in Hyderabad, his untitled film with S S Rajamouli, which begins filming in early 2024, will likewise be a two-part feature film.
"Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli discussed it," said the insider. They concluded that the script covers a much broader range than a typical film's running duration. They had two options: make a 4-hour-plus film or split it into two parts and release them two months apart. They chose the latter."

Movie Review | Department (Varma, 2012)
The nicest thing I can say about the movie is that Ram Gopal Varma seems genuinely excited by the possibilities of digital cinematography. The film takes full advantage of the freedom of movement possible with lightweight cameras. Shots whip about both fluidly and jaggedly, go right up into characters' faces, frame the action from unexpected places. The results are occasionally striking (the FPS cam used in action sequences is pretty fun), but more often ugly and cacophonous. The movie is defined by a few levels of incoherence. Two of them are visual, in that the wildly diverging shot patterns make it difficult to grasp the geography of a given action sequence, and that the visual style itself seems to change not just scene to scene, but within scenes themselves.
And one of them is narrative. Plot developments that would be belaboured in more considerate movies just happen, character motivations change to hit whatever beats the movie has in mind, and any twists and betrayals end up falling completely flat. Whatever understanding of crime Varma once had in movies like Satya and Company seems to have disappeared. The gangs here speak of their countless henchmen but we rarely get a sense of how their organizations work. And when two of the gang members break off to form their own gang, they seemingly carry out all their crimes by themselves with impunity. The title refers to a special police unit created to operate outside the understood bounds of the law, but we never get a sense of why the criminals they face inspire the need for such hardline tactics, or what fruit they even bear. This is the second movie in a row I've watched featuring this trope, and while Shootout at Lokhandwala was hardly even-handed in this respect, I appreciate that it at least made a case for its material. Varma is taking a more skeptical viewpoint (the movie opens with the caption "Absolute power corrupts absolutely") but is unable to articulate a coherent argument in either direction.
And going back to the title, there are two ways to explain it. The more charitable is that it was intended as a euphemism, like "encounter" is in Indian policing. The less charitable is that it was used as a placeholder until Varma could come up with a cooler title, and either forgot or was unable to do so, so this one stayed. The result is that you have a lot of characters trying to make the word "department" sound cool and completely failing. One can't blame theme too much, though. Is the DMV cool?
So on the whole, this is pretty bad and if you've never seen a Ram Gopal Varma movie, you don't need to see this. If you've seen at least one Ram Gopal Varma movie, you still don't need to see this. If you've seen at least a few and are morbidly curious from an auteurist perspective, then maybe this is worth a watch if you keep your expectations extremely low. (It's definitely less embarrassing than the two movies he did with Mia Malkova, which I watched for auteurist reasons, I swear.) I will say that I liked some of the performances. Amitabh Bachman shows up as a criminal-turned-politician and chews up the scenery as a he flaunts his particular views on legality (he takes pains to distinguish between doing legal things illegally and doing illegal things legally). And Madhu Shalini plays a particularly Machiavellian member of the gang with distressingly sexy results. I say distressingly because the fact that she wasn't in a better movie was bringing me great distress.

Who would have imagined an Aamir Khan film would bomb so badly? Ram Gopal Varma on Laal Singh Chaddha’s failure
In a recent interview, Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma talked about the old times in Bollywood and discussed how the exhibitors would remove scenes and songs from the films before the digital times. Although it changed the narrative of the entire movie, it worked, says Ram Gopal Varma. “Most people don’t realize that a film is a series of shots and scenes. In every scene, what the audience will think is very difficult to predict! A critic watches the film seriously. I don’t think the average moviegoer watches the film with the same eye.”
Narrating an incident, Varma said, When Om Shanti Om (2007) and Saawariya (2007) were released on the same day, I went with my physical trainer to watch both the films. First, we saw Saawariya. This guy was constantly on his phone. He went out multiple times for a smoke or to get coffee. After 45 minutes, he asked me, ‘Iss picture mein daylight nahi hota hai kya?’! This is the only observation he made about the film, and he hated the film. Then we went to see Om Shanti Om. He exhibited exactly the same behaviour. But this time, he loved the film! Hence, in a 2 ½ hour-long film, for nearly 1 ½ hour, he was not concentrating on the film and would watch the film once in a while. At that time, he didn’t like Saawariya but he liked Om Shanti Om.”
Continuing further, Varma said, “This is more relevant today. A lot of people feel that OTT is a threat. I personally feel that YouTube is a threat. It comprises so many kinds of videos, from well-packaged news to funny comedy sketches to viral videos of scandalous stuff done by politicians. Hence, the attention span is going down. Also, the mind-set is such that you can go anytime off YouTube and resume whenever you feel like it. But with OTT and theatres, the mindset is that you have to invest 2-3 hours of your time. That kind of attention is going to keep decreasing in the future.” “A few weeks back, I was in Bengaluru and met an acquaintance. I asked him about his movie viewing habits – how many times he goes to the theatres in a month and how many films he watches on OTT on average. To which he said that he and his wife have stopped going to the cinemas. As far as OTT is concerned, he told me that every once in a while, he and his better half make a plan to watch a film on a digital platform. They end up watching only the trailers for 30-40 minutes, unable to decide what to watch, and they go to sleep! But this is so true.
The way the recommendations pop up, it’s so difficult to decide what to watch. Eventually, you’ll decide upon the recommendation from a friend,” he added.
He says that the viewers attention is no more a capturing thing. People enjoy watching more than one thing at a time and this is changing the way entertainment works, which is why Box Office earnings are hit so bad.

Konda Murali (Trigunna) could not stand to see injustice happening in front of his eyes. Responds immediately, physically. So Murali goes to his house and crushes a lover who is harassing girls in Ulu. The victim's parents (Tulsi, LB Shriram) brainwashed him and sent him to study at Lal Bahadur College in Warangal. Murali gets upset when he sees a student named Surekha (Irra More) there. It was there that he met RK (Prashant Karthi), who was working for the revolution. Seeing Murali's aggression, Nalla Sudhakar (Prithvi), a local political leader, pulls him closer to him. Murali and Surekha get married. Sudhakar first wants Murali to work for the people, then realizes his true nature and comes out. But Murali's friend Kolli Pratap (Auto Ramprasad) stays with Sudhakar Panchani and backs Murali. Sudhakar attacks Murali with his own men according to the information given by him. Murali escapes with his life if he is hit by a bullet. What did Murali do after that, did he get revenge, or not? Is the rest of the story. 'Konda' movie is another example to say that the genius songs of Ram Gopal Varma as a director are in a backward direction. The storytelling, the characterizations, the composition of the scenes, their portrayal must be heart-wrenching to enjoy a very crumbling 'Konda' movie. Mynobi small hearts are hard to bear.
