back from the battle....my review

so how did it all go?
well...firstly....it was one of the most emotionally trying experiences of my life. i knew i was playing with fire...and i have been burnt to some extent...but then i knew all along, this was going to be the case.
almost everyone i met, thought or asked me....why are you so frustrated? why make this film? why be so provocative? why? why?...
my answer to that...will be....you know, i asked myself, if i was representing truth...and no i am not talking about the characters motives here, i am talking about all that he talked about....

forget it let me re-phrase everything...india as a society does not permit us to speak about our feelings....because there is a lot of emphasis put on how someone will react or feel when they hear you out...i knew from the start, this will appeal only to someone who can look at telugu cinema objectively...from a pure cinema point of view...and if you look at telugu cinema from that angle....you will questions its value system....if you look at telugu cinema from an indian perspective, i.e from the perspective of someone who prefers not to criticize publicly.....well you are not going to hear anything from them....

my film, confessions is made from the point of view of an idealistic film-maker.....an idealistic filmmaker who has been called frustrated etc....but for me he is an idealist....someone who stands for what cinema,pure cinema must stand for....and its from that perspective this film was made....

so it will get peoples blood boiling that i make fun of the system (the stars in this case).....i understand that....its not polite...its not politically correct....

well, my one question/answer to that is....is everything our stars have done so far been politically correct?....if yes...then my film doesnt have a case....if no...then my film does....what do you say?

we love the jokes that the american media makes on its president...we love all the stand up comics and their take on hollywood....when we can see that, hear that...and be objective there....why cant we do the same in this case...we cant...simply because we are not built that way....nor was it easy for me to do what i did...i had to push myself...it didnt come naturally...but it did come, because it was an inconvinient truth....
i strongly feel, one must use to film to express his/her deepest fears....his deepest secrets...it would be a tragedy if it didnt....
i am not saying my film is in anyway a piece of art....but i tried to approach it like art...painting on the canvas....all that i had seen and heard....

so is all that i have seen and heard the truth...some of it is...some maybe exaggerated....but it helped me tell me story....
why did the hero have to die? why did he have to murder someone? well the answer to that is...my film never had a 'hero'.....it only had villains....

see my film in that perspective....and i think the point will come across....
ill leave you with a few images from the night before...after which i will post all the reviews so far on film....

thanks again...for everyone who understood me and my film...and for those who didnt...i'm sorry...i wish i could have made it more universal...
my next film will be just that.....UNIVERSAL.

ill have some more pics uploaded later...but here are some for now...
