I still remember the day I
watched Avatar movie on the big Screen in IMAX. I was simply speechless
at the spectacle and the imagination power of James Cameron, which has no
boundaries. Particularly the scenes involving Sky Bridges and Dragon flying are
breath taking. As a person, who was
involved in films and knows the ins and outs of making a movie, I still wonder how James Cameron can think, visualise and project his vision
on to the screen. There were many times,
I used to think, why Indian film makers can’t think of these kind of films or
use those techniques of film making.
Yesterday, I found the answer for
my long unanswered question. The answer is Bahubali. I felt the same kind of feeling when I watched
Bahubali, yesterday. It is simply superb and a technological marvel. The James
Cameron of India, S S Raja Mouli, is successful in transferring all his
imagination on to the screen. The visuals, the sound, the selection of artistes and
the way he manoeuvred his huge army is an unparallalled tribute to the Indian mind.
The triumph of Bahubali and Bhallaladeva over Kalakeya looked minute to
me when compared to the success of Raja Mouli. As an Indian, I feel proud of
Raja Mouli. Go! Raja Mouli, there is a big world to be conquered.
This is all ok. Then why say hats
off to James Cameron if Bahubali is a grand success? There are 2 reasons.
First, James Cameron must be the
inspiration for Raja Mouli to think of making that kind of movies, I presume. Second, James Cameron explored outer skies and water to create his films
and left Earth alone, probably because he knows someone else is going to take over
Earth.
Relax James Cameron, Rajamouli is
here to continue your legacy.
