CRITICISM'S


RECENTLY A KIND WEBSITE DECIDED TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ON ME AND MY TRAILER. I SHALL NOW PROUDLY PRESENT TO ALL "THE ARTICLE"

February 27th, 2007 by Ramya Reddy
Suppose you have a son who is aged 20 years. One fine day you catch him while he is smoking a cigar on the terrace. Will you just warn him to quit smoking or will you pull him to the road and and make a menace? Everything depends on your sense. If I was the father i would warn my son not to smoke and explain him why not to do that. Here, not exactly the same scenario but something similar to that.

Anish Kurivilla who is a close friend of Sekhar Kammula since 1999,wanted to be in the news for no good reason. He did a blunder and wanted to show the world as if he did a wonder. Yes,you are guessed it right, I am talking about his directional debut “Confessions of a film-maker”. I happend to see the most filthiest trailer in tollywood till date. I just cant bear the last 30 seconds of the trailor. I dont know what this inarticulate fellow want to prove.

Moreover he is claming that “It was more of his state of mind over last few years”. So I came to a conclusion after seeing his D grade trailor, that he is challenged severly and he is in a desperate need of a shock treatment. He also claimed that he is into business for more than 10 years,so he knows the business better hence he can show the world what his personal point of view is. Agreed,as an Indian citizen he got every right to express his feelings, but not in the flithiest way.

Anish, afterall you are a 10 year old kid in the business, there are legends who are into business for more than 30 years.Want to know? One among them is Dr D RamaNaidu, did he ever try to degrade the industry which gave him such name and wealth. Why you? I guess you wanted to show your existance in the industry by making such an insane movie.May be you are known only to a section of people in the industry,but you wanted to become famous in a fortnight. Right?

What is that trailer? If that reflects your state of mind,then you seriously must undergo physcological counselling. When you are into industry for more than 10 years, you must be aware of all the factors you must meet to release a film.Dont you know that there is one powerful hurdle “Censor board”? Are you confident that you will cross that hurdle? If not,why the hell you directed such a garbage.

If you are sure that your movie would cross the censor hurdle,well and fine.How will you promote the movie,with the same trailer what you have released now? What will be the genre of the movie? If your answer is “My personal view”, there is no such genre till date. What the heck you want to prove by using such D grade language in your video and name it as a movie.

DO u know what tollywood movies are? Do u know about the passion the people show for movies here?

Please dont do these kind of acts, which are harmful to our own tollywood. Faults are every where but a little comonsense must be used to point them out. Dont give a chance for the people to laugh at your attitude. Go get some life man !!

MY REPLY:

Dear Ramya,

I am unable to understand why you are so upset with my trailer.
I know, I understand. We are all gems in this industry, the producers,directors and actors have given us such sensible,well-meaning,responsible and good cinema.

No one and I mean certainly no one in any postion should even criticize or comment on their works of art. right?

WRONG,I WONT BE QUIET. I'm sorry you feel that way, but unlike you, who has the privilege of sitting in her room writing to me, I have worked my ass off in this place for years and I have seen success and failure at close quarters. You never need to agree with me. Heck you dont even need to see my film. Dont watch it, heck it may not even be released.But I will make sure everyone and anyone who wants to watch it, will.

Criticize me then....abuse me then...say whatever...but watch my film and comment.
Yes whether you like it or not, the industry is not a bed of roses, nor are the people running it some prophets. And I will stand up and I will show my film to the world.

My film may not fall into any genre...then call it a campaign. A campaign for more responsibilty by stars,producers,writers and directors. I cant see how a cause like that can be criticized.
And as to why I should use the 'D' world. Let me tell you...
watch the film and you will understand the context.

Look Ramya, this film and trailer is not meant for people who are content with the state of telugu cinema...
I will never be able to connect with you at all.

But I am confident it will connect to a 100 in a million and I am content with that. This film is for them...

not for Ramya reddy or her filmy duniya.

lets all clap our hands as ramya's kids sing -"jinkaka jinka jinka jinka ka ka", complete with hand moments. after all these are songs played out by our revered stars, our revered producers and our revered directors, right kid?

meanwhile for those wishing to see the trailer. (i know cinefolks will remove it anyways, you can watch an uncensored one on idlebrain)or..

and for those who want to understand the genesis of this film, read my blog

http://confessionsofafilmmaker.blogspot.com/

Regards and see you @my cinema.
Anish Kuruvilla

ANYWAYS, WHILE ALL THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING. I HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMED BY MESSAGES AND MAIL. MY YOU TUBE HAS HAD MORE THAN 5000 INDIVIDUAL HITS WHICH TRANSALATES TO A MIN OF 10,000 PEOPLE WHO HAVE WATCHED IT....I HAVE EMAILS, WHICH HAVE TAKEN ME 3 DAYS TO REPLY TO...

THE FUCKING SHOW MUST GO ON..........

Hi Anish gaaru..
this is Ashok..A Shock..!!!

I could not get u r mail id..from u r blog..so posting
everything here..!!!
Plz don't mind..!!!

I'm a passionate script writer/director wanna be in telugu film industry. There r atleast 10 of my good friends..in orkut..
who have real adrenalin pumping 24*7 to show our
mark in the creative industry. We all donot have
any sort of background.

We all heard a lot about the real facts of
the industry informally. Kudos to u r dare
devil attitude of showing it on screen.
I watched u r trailer, audio was not available
in my company PC. Cud not get much from the
trailer..but the line "THIS FILM IS GOING TO
BE BANNED SOON" struck my eye so terribly that
itz pumping my brain to instruct my hands to
scrap u.

I'm really thrilled to know about u r film.
I've tried to read u r full blog...did it to
some extent.

At first I've liked u r acting n dialgoue
delivery in Anand. Nothing like boasting here
but I'm pretty frank. Then when I came to
know that it was u who gave the wonderful
captions : "MANCHI COFFEE LAANTI CINEMA"
N
"EE VESAVI CHAALA CHALLAGAA VUNTUNDI"
I was much impressed. Now u have really
given a big shock with this news.

We r very much eager to watch u r movie.
Not for free ofcrse. Where can we watch it ??
can we have CDS/DVDS of it. We r quite
confident that this film would be certainly
helpful for aspirants like us. I don't know
if u have thought of the angle of the success
of the film..in the circles of serious aspirants
who need such information regrding the industry.


I know that u r much busy...but when ever u find
time do try to read these topics in orkut comm..
which show our real passion towards cinema.

By the way..

I'm a software engineer by profession.
I'm a serious aspirant as script writer/director.
Currently one producer who did a movie so far showered good
confidence in me. He liked two of my story ideas n I'm
dieing to finish them. I'm trying to come up with rocking
story ideas. Meanwhile I'm also acting in some short films.

This is our last one..

Currently working on a new one..!!!

I'm also inclined to music composing..till now did over
100 tunes..

I wud b pleased if u can say atleast 'HI' in u r busy schedule..!!!

I'm very much happy to find a guy atlast who is this much
dare enough to show the inner details of the industry.
Plz do consider the angle of showing this picture to
the serious aspirants of the industry.


All the best in all of u r endeavors..!!!

Suppose you have a son who is aged 20 years. One fine day you catch him while he is smoking a cigar on the terrace.

1 FINE DAY - YEH FINE DAY KAB HOTA HAI?
...OK ITS THE DAY WHERE U PAY LOTS OF FINES..

Smoking Cigar - ABEY INDIA MEIN CIGAR MILTA HAI KIA????

Will you just warn him to quit smoking or will you pull him to the road and and make a menace?
NO,---
I'L SMOKE WITH HIM...CAUSE CIGARS ARE SCARCE IN HYDERABAD..AND IF HE IS SMOKING I'L SHARE WITH HIM..
AND WHATS THIS PUTTING HIM ON ROAD?
AUNTY CAN U PLZ EXPLAIN..

If I was the father i would warn my son not to smoke and explain him why not to do that.
AUNTY,KIA BOLRAHI HAIN AAP..
MAMTA SE SEEDHA BAAPTA

Here, not exactly the same scenario but something similar to that.
HMMM ISKA MATLAB SAMJHAU PLZ...

He did a blunder and wanted to show the world as if he did a wonder
WAH...KIA RHYMING SCENTENCE HAI.... CAN I PLZ KNOW,WHICH SCHOOL DID U GO TO?

I dont know what this inarticulate fellow want to prove.

AUNTY.. INARTICULATE.. KA MATLAB HAI TOUNGUE TIED, MUMBLING,INCOHERENT,HESITANT,SPEECHLESS..
BIG BAZAAR MEIN OXFORD DICTIONARY KA SALE CHALRAHA HAI...GOING ONLY FOR Rs50/-

he is in a desperate need of a shock treatment.
DON'T TELL ME U HAVE GONE THROUGH SHOCK TREATMENT..

One among them is Dr D RamaNaidu
DID U SLEEP WITH HIM????
(AS AN INDIAN CITIZEN I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS IN THE MOST FILTHIEST WAY..KIA KARENGI AAP)OH SORRY I FORGOT ABOUT SHOCK TREATMENT.

If that reflects your state of mind,then you seriously must undergo physcological counselling.
PHYSCOLOGICAL: CAN ANYBODY EXPLAIN ME WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
AUNTY,DON'T TELL ME UR A STUDENT OF RUSSELS SPOKEN ENGLISH.

Dont you know that there is one powerful hurdle “Censor board”? Are you confident that you will cross that hurdle? If not,why the hell you directed such a garbage.
SAALI,TU KIA CENSOR BOARD KI DALAAL HAI???

What will be the genre of the movie If your answer is “My personal view”, there is no such genre till date. What the heck you want to prove by using such D grade language in your video and name it as a movie.

ABEY CHUTNI,DO U KNOW WHAT U R SAYING?

Do u know what tollywood movies are? Do u know about the passion the people show for movies here?

YES,WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE PASSION PEOPLE SHOW FOR MOVIES...TELL ME WHAT DO U KNOW ABOUT Rajnesh Domalpalli’s debut film Vanaja...
THATS CALLED PASSION...
TELL ME SWEETY,ARE U QUALIFIED ENOUGH TO BE A CRITIC,HOW MANY FILMS HAVE U SCRIPTED/DIRECTED/PRODUCED...JUST BY SLEEPING WITH FEW PRODUCERS AND DIRECTORS DOESNT MAKE U A CRITIC.


Please dont do these kind of acts, which are harmful to our own tollywood. Faults are every where but a little comonsense must be used to point them out. Dont give a chance for the people to laugh at your attitude. Go get some life man !!

ABEY SAALI,UR TELLING OF HARMFUL ACTS IN TOLLYWOOD...KIA BOLUN TERE KO..
PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY LAUGHING AT UR CRITICISM...

CHAL WITH DUE RESPECT TO UR INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY,TAKE THIS AS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AND KEEP ON WRITING SHIT,THIS WILL MOTIVATE US.

U OR PEOPLE LIKE YOU CANNOT STOP THE TRANSITION IN THIS INDUSTRY....KEEP ON WRITING BABY

Hi Anish, How are you feeling now? Seeing all this Popularity you are getting and all these comments?
I liked one thing though, as you said everyfilm has its own audiences, and you already have yours. Definitely there are more than 100 people in a million who wants to watch your film now. I was following your blog from the day it appeared on telugucinema.com and read all your archives, loved going thru them. I felt your passion as a filmmaker thriving to bring out what you believe, while readin them. I remember watching Anand Film function where you vented out your anger on the industry saying how you people struggled to bring the movie to theaters. Now i wish i will be able to see your feelings on the big screen with COFM.
And i am happy also with the fact that your blog is the first one in telugu film history that got so much popularity. Gr8 way of communication, thanks to worldwideweb. And while reading the users comments about your trailer, i particularly liked one guy who said trailer must have been much better, if you give them the punch scenes and then display your name as a anish kuruvilla film. again that is purely a point of view, you know whats best for u.
coming to CRITICISM post, i have to say your reply for Ramya reddy's post was apt. One point i didnt understand is " why all this fuss about the Denginchukuntaru (D) word?" I mean we usually say that word in our friends in different situations, then why couldnt it be used in movies when its being used everywhere?
Changes are bound to happen everywhere, in societies, in movies.. Some will bring upon the change, some will embrace it, and some others may never accept it, Now everyone knows You love to be in the 1st category while the ones like ramya might be put in the last one.. Let her be like that :) I really dont understand they are ready to enjoy and laugh like hell along with their kids, watching movies with lots of double meaning dialogues, where they concentrate on navel rather than heroines character, where hero will have hand a particular knife and chop off villians and they are against to Sincere movies like urs ??

But I have to say i am little doubtful about the movie also, coz I would love it, if you have not exaggerated the things about the current situation of telugu industry and rather shown out the facts as they are. I hope you get some distributors for your film ( or have you got already? ) so that guys like me can enjoy watching it. ALL THE VERY BEST TO U AND YOUR FILM.

a film lover..
