PERIOD MOVIES

Period movies are those that represent the happenings of the past. They may be fictional or non fictional. I am a fan of historical period movies. The stories, costumes, language, are all entirely different from the movies set in the present. These movies show to us the life during the times we have not lived in. 
Period films inform us about the culture of our ancestors, their ideas and traditions. If many of us are aware of the royal costumes, wars, the elaborate meals, the credit goes to period movies. Many movies  on wars, freedom fighters, kings and queens have been made for us to know how India has been in the past. We can also know a lot about the language that was used during those times and how much it has changed as the time has passed.Even as period films are made from reading epics and other novels written by some great authors, they create a bigger impact on us, as we are visualizing it.We see the actors as the characters and not as themselves. For example, while seeing the famous Mahabharat serial, the actor Nitesh Bharathwaj who did the role of Krishna, would perfectly match the characterizations of Krishna and make us believe Krishna would look exactly the same.
We all know more about Bharathiar, Mahatma Gandhi, and many more freedom fighters from period   movies as showing something visually is better understood than reading or listening. My most favorite period films include- 'Bajirao Mastani', 'Padmavat', 'Kalank'. They are really amazing works that intricately show us the life during those times, the thoughts and ideologies of the rulers, perception about love and relationships.

WATCHING CINEMA IMPACT TO CHILDREN

                        WATCHING CINEMA IMPACT TO CHILDREN Watching movies has known to have both positive as well as negative impact on a child’s mind as well on his overall development. Movies with social message or pure fun can be worth watching but movies with too much of violence and mean messages are of no good to children.Recently in a survey that was been conducted on the American children between the age group 4 to 15 years, it was observed that there has been an overwhelming influence of such mentioned medias especially the movies on a child's overall development. The impact of movies on children within this age group has been affecting a child's health, well being and his mind. The affect of movies on each and every child differed in a way. This completely depended on the type of movies the child watched and how many hours he spent watching movies. Children are known to be glued to their screens either at home in ...

ONE ACT MOVIE This article is going to be about my experience on watching a movie that had all that a movie should have- hero, heroine, villain,story, jokes, emotions, dialogues, but with something really unique, the whole movie had only one person in it! The movie is " Otha Serupu Size 7 ".The entire two hours of the movie had only the actor Partibhan on screen and I could only hear the voices of the other characters ! How unique is that !I seriously did not even imagine such a thing would be possible. How could only one person act an entire movie by himself  ? It was not like a story telling, it was a real movie.  I do not like reading reviews before watching the movie, so I had no idea about the movie before I saw it and I was awestruck on watching  the movie with only one actor.  It was indeed good, there were unexpected twists in the story, a father's love, and witty humor. I must admit I was a little bored on watching him on screen for the whol...
