I have been discussing the first 3 and last 2 directors in discussions between our friends on influential Malayalam & Tamil directors, and that was before i watched this video. Here, I see your comment, and it's quite coincidental. 😊
It’s imperative to note how he loosely he describes South India. The fact is even after 77 years most of India is unaware of the length and breadth its cultural diversity.
He didn't say South India. He said there is a great deal of good work happening in the South of India which comprises Madras and Kerala. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. Madras and Kerala are in the South of India just like Bombay is in the West and Calcutta is in the East.
apart from what the person above have already said you would also need to note the audience he is communicating.A western anglo saxon would have no idea about the intricasies of Tamil-Telugu. Likewise the west of India comprises the Mumbai in itself ,depending on the audience
I am ok being a backward audience. I enjoy masala films.. i enjoyed sholay, don, kabhie kabhie kabhie, aradhana, lagaan, mohra etc. I don't like to face my own reality when I go to a movie but i don't like chichora movies with hero eve teases the heroine and heroine falls for hero or rape or violence against women.
Not really artistic films can transport u to a completely different place too!! Difference between commercial and art cinema is how subtle is it with how it delivers message and how much importance does it give to story or does it tend to lean more on stars or production!!
Thats what you get when you don't know how to make commercial Films and instead show too much art which people get bored of... And industry couldn't sustain. People want escapism and that why most of the people watch films. Too much poverty and ideology then industries are gone. Like Bollywood too. ((( See now stree 2 a proper commercial Film is saving bollywood this year))).

@@himeshthungaturthi3215 did you feel so great about yourself commenting that? Did you really watch all the Telugu movies? By your comment either you haven't watched a lot or you are just filled with hate. Telugu industry has produced brilliant social dramas, women empowerment based movies(true kind not the pretend kind), men empowerment, marriage empowerment, action, fantasy, comedy, sci-fi and many. But go ahead and try to bring it down. The more you try the more we will rise. Don't even try to support your argument saying I'm also Telugu (read your surname), because you don't know what you're talking about.
Especially malyalam films as I am watching it some even decade ago films are so artistic and what's special is people support such films there u like any other industries. But I would still point out some great cinema from every industry and all of them have equal purposes to serve but we need to appreciate in general artistic films along with commercial movies too!!
2 Min Silence for People who are fighting over Art Film and Commercial Film, Calling RRR Bad, Rajnikant Bad without even understanding, What Mr. Satyajit Ray actually meant by "Fairly Backward Audience".
You didn't quote his full sentence. "Fairly backward audience unsophisticated audience exposed to the commercial cinema". RRR Rajnikant are those film and stras and their audience are what Mr. Ray actually said.
@@bhaskardeb8248 Do know Mr. Satyajit Ray himself appreciated "Sholay" Film ?? And the sentence which he said, "Fairly Backward Audience exposed to commercial cinema" Why and in response to which incident he said and whom did he refer to that in that sentence do you know that ?? Mr. Satyajit Ray also said that, when too many people are liking the film then there must be something in the film.
@@somnathbanerjee_2922 It was neither torrent nor social media time and exposure of plagiarism didn't come in front of the people or you couldn't take the way he would bash the film.
@@bhaskardeb8248 Mr. Satyajit Ray's movie, "Devi" faced Criticism due to attacking Religious Dogamism. So, in response to that he said so. And this thing happens even now also. People who don't have capability to understand such works still they start attacking without even understanding them. So, that's what he actually meant. If you have watched the full part, In the same line, he also said that, "They make the movies they like and I make the movies I like". Those who are movie lovers, almost all of them loves Mr. Satyajit Ray's movies but even they also enjoy movies like RRR. I am not denying that most Art Films are of high standards and for limited audiences but every film are of their own types and have their own audiences. And fighting over "Art Films" or "Commercial Films" seems immature or very extreme for me. And I don't think that even Mr. Satyajit Ray said so with such intention. I am not a very big fan of RRR movie or SS Rajamouli Sir but as a movie lover and one who is interested in filmmaking, I am open to all kinds of films and would consider every movie as a movie. Simply saying, "All Commercial Cinemas are worse" doesn't makes sense for me because there are many other factors to be considered. So, that's what I believe.
@@bhaskardeb8248 If you pay attention, he said, "Fairly Backward Audience exposed to Hindi commercial cinema more than anything". When he made the film, "Devi" that time he was attacked even his films were removed also. Those audience who didn't understood his works they too protested. So, this even happens now and it's really a sign of Backward mentality. So, Mr. Ray addressed those people actually. It's very wrong to say that he was against mainstream movies. He appreciated "Sholay" and himself believed that there must be something that attracts more audiences towards these movies. I am myself not a very big fan of rrr or SS Rajamouli Sir but as a movie lover and someone who is interested in filmmaking, I believe we should be open towards all kinds of movies. I am not denying that Art Films are superior but all movies are of their own kinds and there are lots of reasons why I believe so. So, this comparison habit is not good everywhere and I think, even Mr. Ray haven't said so with such intention. So, this is what I believe.
00:47 he was sooo educated , even back then he knew it is South OF India ...and also which comprises of .... and he also named one of the smallest state !!!!!flabergated !!!!!❤ satyajit ray❤
I am surprised how cringeworthy movies like RRR, KGF, Himmatwala, Bahubali, Pedanna, are still made and watched. Anyone who saw Rajnikant's movies from the 90s and similar Hindi movies (by Govinda and Mithun Chakraborty), would have surely gotten tired of this formula by now, but apparently the same masses continue to lap up the same formula and fall for the visuals/CGI thinking that the overall movie is some kind of an achievement or groundbreaking feat, which it is not. Now even movies like Pathan, Jawan etc. copied the third rate Bahubali/RRR playbook to fool the Indian diaspora elsewhere. Not surprising that younger global audiences with a shortening attention span and penchant for Reality TV are finding such movies as worthwhile entertainment.
You're just not open minded, I love both art films and commercial films equally, it's good if it's good and it's bad if it's bad. Stop generalizing all commercial films to be bad. RRR and Bahubali were praiseworthy movies. Don't think that most of the Indian movies suck because they are commercial, even Hollywood movies run on commercial aspects most of the time and nowadays their films are boring. Most of the audience internationally loved RRR because the film was crafted well by Rajamouli. If you think it's bad then try making a movie of your own and see how hard it is to even make a mediocre film, be it art or commercial.
@@wanderlust1334 What was so good about Bahubali 2 beyond the CGI? Shallow plot and dialogues, melodramatic acting...that is not my personal assessment.
@@sauceontoes3457 I have to disagree that movies such as RRR, KGF, & Bahubali are praiseworthy. Some commercially successful Hollywood movies may also require one to leave one's brains at home to watch them, but no one continues to sing their praises as if they are the best thing to happen to mankind. People watch them, forget, and move on. For some Indians to associate such cringeworthy movies with national pride and their sense of self-esteem is the problem. I can understand if in earlier times Indians needed to escape the reality of their day to day surroundings and sought comfort in such movies, not having other options for entertainment. But for rich NRIs today to still find value in such movies, is confounding for me. Beyond CGI, there's nothing exceptional about the plot, dialogues, and acting in movies like RRR, Bahubali, KGF, Pathan/Jawan, Govinda-type movies etc. Compare such recent historic/mythological Indian movies to Hollywood movies such as Ten Commandments (1956), Ben Hur (1959), Spartacus (1960), Cleopatra (1963), Gladiator (1999), Troy (2004), and you will see the difference in production, plot depth, acting, gravity of dialogues, inspite of these being made decades ago. Now, movies such as Golmal (1980), Mr. India (1987), Pushpak (1987 with Kamal Hasan), were commercially successful but were also true works of art with little to criticise about such movies.
@@mayankjain3299Did you mention "Pushpak" as a masterpiece?😂😂😂 Honestly "Mr.India", "Pushpak" were the "RRR"s of the eighties. Hyped up beyond reasoning. But a commercial movie is not equal to brainless... because "Sholay" or "Don" were very intelligently written and made. It's "KGF" or "RRR" which are no-brainers.
I have always watched films made by Adoor Gopalkrishnan, G V Iyer, G Aravindan, etc. ... in general, I have felt that South Indian movies always tended to be superior on story, acting and technicalities. Big fan of Mamoothy, Mohanlal, Kamalahasan, etc.

He was soo correct about indian cinema back then and it still proves him right where bollywood sophisticated backward audience(as he said in an interview)is enjoying masala movies. South cinemas are representing india on international levels
Only Malayalam and Tamil industryis producing world class cinemas. Telegu industry(except few filmmakers) is still making third grade Commercial masala action movies like mainstream Hindi industry.
@@roronoazorro8822 except few lmao . there was a time in industry where concept was given atmost prority in 1950's . movies like mayabazaar(used editing to create magic effects in 1957 itself) , narthana shaala, missamma, and so many movies I can name. but of course your opinion comes from thi biasedness of watching only SSR films and commercial movies. on a smaller scale we are still making content movies . it is just that people outside telugu states will never know it as they are not marketed there. telugu industry of 1950's had women empowering roles as welll (contrary to 1970 ones ) .first search those then give your half baked knowledge . colur photo, mattu vadalara,gaami, brochevaaru evarura are few small budget movies which you will never hear about. go stereotype telugu movies and kannada movies on base of kgf, RRR . that is the only merit you can have
@@slayer_142 Among everyone you got their names only. So Sad. The names which u said, they are far better among other Commercial movie makers. RRR won Oscar which was made by Rajamouli and Shankar Sir's Indian(1996) movie was sent for Oscar though it missed. So, Rajkumar Hirani, Shankar and Rajamouli are among top directors in India. Yes, If u personally believe that all Commercial Movies are nonsense then that's a different thing but these directors whom u have mentioned are best Commercial movie makers. Even Shankar Sir's thought was very different and ahead of time but later he changed to target the mass audience. There are many more filmmakers whose name who made bullshit pictures but unfortunately u took those name who are best among Commercial Movies.
Art film makers some how tend to think they mke the best movies but commercial movies enjoyed by mny in fact discuss serious issues but to make it lighter they add dance romance comedy and even glamourous looks or else and with happy ending we will come out excessively depressed or near dead from the theater if the main character is shown realistically like art film does
Then you're extremely unstable, if films can affect your psyche to that level or you're plain stupid that you believe in fiction... films are meant to tell stories,many want to explore stories reflecting reality, dancing and singing defeats the purpose of storytelling and breaks the flow of continuity and is illogical, films are art by default
You are just stupid if you can't handle or understand a realistic and complex character with layers jyadadarlog ke dimag mein aukat nahi hoti realistic aur complex movies ko samjhane mein isliye woh masala films ke taraf jyaada akarshit hote hai people like you who are too indulged in masala films cant understand the value of satyajit ray's works
I once adored this man and his films .I could watch Pather Panchali, Gopi gayen baaga bayen, charulata a million times. But I was absolutely disappointed when I saw one of his interviews with a French interviewer , where he trashed Indian audience for their taste in Indian cinema. 90% of our Indian population lives in abject poverty. Why would they want to spend time and money to watch their pathetic lives again on screen? They would put that money in a film of 2.5 hrs to escape from their reality. That's natural. He got his fame showcasing the hard lives of Indians and he trashed the same people in some sense in that interview. Was so disappointed in him whom I considered God of Indian cinema 😢
@lattym3647 you have rights to reserve your opinion. However, his opinion was mainly urban audiences. In his active lifetime, Kolkata was very rich and highly educated. But all his films didn't get audiences in Kolkata, except gupi gayen.. Since all his films (except satranj ki khelari) are in Bengali, his opinion is on Bengal.
@@amalbanerjee1935you are right. It maybe about audience of Bengal. I agree. I was referring to the interview of Satyajit Ray by Pierre Andre boutang 1989 part 2, on TH-cam. In case you want to watch it
@@lattym3647 Charulata is not a story of below proverty level people. His films except gupi gayen series & feluda series were not big hit. But problems showed in his movies are reality.
@lattym3647 And he wasn't wrong in any part of his statement being poor is one thing but being uncivilized is a no way excuse. Look at Bhutan they are poor but civilized do you know why because they're Asians unlike Indians (side note: Indians are not Asians ethnically) you can look up to Moldova that country is known as the Africa of Europe due to its economic conditions they poor white folks who might be living in poverty yet civilized unlike Indians because they're Caucasians. Lastly in a nutshell the reality of human anatomy is ethnicity determines the actions and behaviours of each type of people across the various parts of world. Your hardships don't make you uncivilized but your race and Mr Ray is absolutely right mass Indians are actually uncivilized & backward hence they prefer movies which glorify ræpes, lustful materialism, female objectification and undermining of female gender in particular as a whole because Indians belong to a bad product of ethnic heredity. The very evolution of humans itself is based on craftsmanship of ethnicities son.
Arthouse movies reminds me of that one William Dafoe's movie in the movie of Mr.Bean movie Sometimes people label every arthouse movie as masterpiece I am not fan of Over the top action but i think it all depends on execution and direction Drishyam is the best movie in last decade and it's a fully commercial movie

People generalize South Indian Cinema but Satyajit Ray did point out Tamil and Malayalam film industries (Madras also included Telugu film industry back then ) but I don't like when people say South Indian films are good becuase South India also includes Telugu film industry which is one of the most regressive industry with full nepotism, cringe crap masala scenes and also sexist crap movies, this applies to some extent to Kannada films as well, Malayalam movies are great and so are some Tamil films.
@@rajr7518 why are you taking them as an example for Telugu cinema?.... Hundreds of films are being made...u watch 2 of them and hate a complete industry...that's some immaturity on ur side
Are you the one to decide what kind of movies we should make? Movies are for entertainment of the people. If they like it and pay to watch them, who are you to question it? Are you paying for us? Today Telugu film industry is making movies for the masses and if people didn't like them we wouldn't make them. Who are you to deny people what they want? You're singling out Telugu industry like you don't find the characteristics you described in all the other industries. Guess what they exist everywhere and it's not always one-sided.
Bangla ki chilo r ki obostha ekhon. Black and white bengali pictures were first and last era of good bengali movies. Tho ekhon kichu kichu abr bhalo start hoyeche as a form of series.
It's about time we concluded in unison that there is a necessity for both: experimental innovative cinema vis-à-vis commercial mass masala flicks. Satyajit Ray back in his time too knew this pretty well... it's true in India we do have a "fairly backward audience" - not to be mistaken as "uneducated" or "savage", just whose tastes aren't as sharpened as much as those with the privilege of exposure to greater cinema experience from around the world. These are the masses - beaten, bruised, exhausted from their daily mundane life rat race of monotony who want nothing more than a sense of escapism as a form of entertainment - and nothing serves them better than larger-than-life commercial masala flicks (be it from Bollywood or from any of the other industries like Tamil, Kannada, Telugu etc.). These cinemas, irrespective of their lack of logic or sense, connect to these masses - who are just here to have some good time - like in a theme park, without having to use one's head too much. These movies/cinema are the money spinners, revenue generators - not just for the respective producers, but for the entire industry. When producers mint a lot of money through this action masala scheme of business, they're able to pull of many more movies, even the ones that dont make any money - including the so-called "experimental" or art house cinema. Cinema is a commercial art form - No money, No Cinema... Without money you cannot have DOPs, script writers, choreographers, editors, sound engineers, technicians of all sort, let alone the Stars! The entire world fortunately or unfortunately works this way (no wonder even Hollywood has cracked this code and now one sees abundance of those horsecrap Marvel movies). This is perhaps going to be the way forward for the foreseeable future... lots of crap big budget extravagant action movies, and few drops really good cinema (for those with a taste) somewhere in the midst of the ocean of the former. And this is a tried and tested Business Model, noone would dare mess up this workflow, otherwise you end up becoming a Bengali Tollywood industry - which has been struggling to survive for years now because they came to acknowledge the need for this co-existence a bit too late.
I think the critical and artistic appreciation of cinema is mostly a thing of past now. Directors like Nolan have amalgamated depth and entertainment in innovative ways such that even the well exposed viewers no more want to watch experimental, artistic films. Ray himself hardly made experiments in films though, except for the realism which was uncommon in mainstream cinema back then (as Indian cinema was just an extension of theatre to start with). His contemporary Ritwik Ghatak was more leaning towards experimental techniques.
@@a6hiji7Ray literally created bounce lighting,his method of storytelling was very technical and well thought out and planned...he was innovative person as much as it gets...what he didn't do you could say is ,not deep dive into the topics of gore, blood, problematic society, eccentricity of human psyche horror kind of -- basically the the negative aspects of human life , he made clean films keeping audiences in mind belonging to all ages , that's his style...Ghatak was a bit different guy in that sense truly
What year is this? Cause up until the 60s and early 70s, Southern cinema was nowhere as he described. It’s rich in literature, story and acting. And, don’t hate me here but really entertaining unlike Ray’s films. The acting was so top class that some Hollywood acting institutions and studios used them for acting training. The carp we see today started mid 70’s. There were a few good ones but ya 90% is just nonsense.
Southern cinema was flourishing in the 50s itself, especially Telugu film industry, back then in Madras made great commercial successes like Anarkali 1950, Swapna Sundari 1950, Pathala Bhairavi 1951, Maya Bazaar 1957, Missamma 1955, Anarkali 1955, and so on and so forth... there are as many Tamil movies during these times.
Gemini Studio is India's first registered company, would you believe? Not registered film studio, but India's first ever private limited company. South Cinema has been a movement since the 50s. Chennai had no less than 23 studios, some like Vijaya Vauhini had 23 separate shooting floors and employed 9000 people.
See guys south indian filmmakers are very clever.They know marketing strategies.. But our bollywood directors and filmmakers do not know and they also nowadays they don't focus on action films..but focus on emotions,intuitions,and soulful cinemas That is the reason south indian films are liked by people
The Southern film industry today is not the same as the one in the previous decades. Today, only a small percentage of movies are watchable. On top of that there has been no development in terms of writing. Dialogues are poor. Music sucks big time these days, you hear the same music in every movie. There is also copying of Western style of singing but it does go well with the local language. Heroism is still the staple, especially when it comes to big budget movies. On the whole, there is no development in the industry, it seem to be stuck in a rut. Look at the Korean film industry, despite being far younger , it has managed to produce films and drama that are enjoyed the world over. One of their movies even won Best Picture at the Oscars, not Best Foreign Film, best picture.
First of all, "our" Bollywood cinema?? OUR ?? You seem to be a Bengali and you are calling bollywood movie as ours and south movie as theirs? You mentioned south has marketing strategy and bollywood has soulful stories???? Either you are completely unaware of movies or else you are high on drugs? Any forms of films connect with audience with core of its emotions only. Your fucking so called bollywood directors are unable to portray those emotions on screen except few such as Kiran Rao etc.. Go n watch Malayalam films, Tamil films, few Telugu films like Jersey you will understand what emotion is called. Bdw, your industry should be in the Bengali film industry, not bollywood.
You're actually saying the opposite. Bollywood is all about Punjabi songs now and disgusting male domination just bcoz the audience demand that. No matter how manht female oriented films come, it won't change the male dominated mindset of bollywood. Take animal for example, it was a disgusting film degrading women but it was appreciated by so many people
Guys see the video properly he's not talking of sourh indian cinema he is saying inI ndia there are low budget films are made in serious themes with young people playing in it than the star type movies in india so just watch tge video carefully
All the bollywood ,regional and south-Indian Cinemas will flourished if there will be clear line of demarcation among them .If you say everything an Indian movie industry then all the promising regional cinemas will be nipped in the bud by the so called national award winning actors.Beware!
Of course Kerala, maybe also Madras on his time, but definitely not nowadays and from several decades already. Kollywood is just a more refined version of Tollywood. Both are catastrophic,... Even if Kollywood, outside of the state political and ideological masters produced movies, as well outside of the blockbusters and "masala" movies, seems to become clever, well done, and interesting.

2 Min Silence for People who are fighting over Art Film and Commercial Film, Calling RRR Bad, Rajnikant Bad without even understanding, What Mr. Satyajit Ray actually meant by "Fairly Backward Audience".
You didn't quote his full sentence. "Fairly backward audience unsophisticated audience exposed to the commercial cinema". RRR Rajnikant are those film and stras and their audience are what Mr. Ray actually said.
@@bhaskardeb8248 Do know Mr. Satyajit Ray himself appreciated "Sholay" Film ?? And the sentence which he said, "Fairly Backward Audience exposed to commercial cinema" Why and in response to which incident he said and whom did he refer to that in that sentence do you know that ?? Mr. Satyajit Ray also said that, when too many people are liking the film then there must be something in the film.
@@somnathbanerjee_2922 It was neither torrent nor social media time and exposure of plagiarism didn't come in front of the people or you couldn't take the way he would bash the film.
@@bhaskardeb8248 Mr. Satyajit Ray's movie, "Devi" faced Criticism due to attacking Religious Dogamism. So, in response to that he said so. And this thing happens even now also. People who don't have capability to understand such works still they start attacking without even understanding them. So, that's what he actually meant. If you have watched the full part, In the same line, he also said that, "They make the movies they like and I make the movies I like". Those who are movie lovers, almost all of them loves Mr. Satyajit Ray's movies but even they also enjoy movies like RRR. I am not denying that most Art Films are of high standards and for limited audiences but every film are of their own types and have their own audiences. And fighting over "Art Films" or "Commercial Films" seems immature or very extreme for me. And I don't think that even Mr. Satyajit Ray said so with such intention. I am not a very big fan of RRR movie or SS Rajamouli Sir but as a movie lover and one who is interested in filmmaking, I am open to all kinds of films and would consider every movie as a movie. Simply saying, "All Commercial Cinemas are worse" doesn't makes sense for me because there are many other factors to be considered. So, that's what I believe.
@@bhaskardeb8248 If you pay attention, he said, "Fairly Backward Audience exposed to Hindi commercial cinema more than anything". When he made the film, "Devi" that time he was attacked even his films were removed also. Those audience who didn't understood his works they too protested. So, this even happens now and it's really a sign of Backward mentality. So, Mr. Ray addressed those people actually. It's very wrong to say that he was against mainstream movies. He appreciated "Sholay" and himself believed that there must be something that attracts more audiences towards these movies. I am myself not a very big fan of rrr or SS Rajamouli Sir but as a movie lover and someone who is interested in filmmaking, I believe we should be open towards all kinds of movies. I am not denying that Art Films are superior but all movies are of their own kinds and there are lots of reasons why I believe so. So, this comparison habit is not good everywhere and I think, even Mr. Ray haven't said so with such intention. So, this is what I believe.
The real Boss of Indian film. Bow down to the G.
00:47 he was sooo educated , even back then he knew it is South OF India ...and also which comprises of .... and he also named one of the smallest state !!!!!flabergated !!!!!❤ satyajit ray❤
He was too intelligent and knowledgeable to not be able to pull off such simple feats. We need to learn more from him nowadays.
I am surprised how cringeworthy movies like RRR, KGF, Himmatwala, Bahubali, Pedanna, are still made and watched. Anyone who saw Rajnikant's movies from the 90s and similar Hindi movies (by Govinda and Mithun Chakraborty), would have surely gotten tired of this formula by now, but apparently the same masses continue to lap up the same formula and fall for the visuals/CGI thinking that the overall movie is some kind of an achievement or groundbreaking feat, which it is not. Now even movies like Pathan, Jawan etc. copied the third rate Bahubali/RRR playbook to fool the Indian diaspora elsewhere.
Not surprising that younger global audiences with a shortening attention span and penchant for Reality TV are finding such movies as worthwhile entertainment.
You're just not open minded, I love both art films and commercial films equally, it's good if it's good and it's bad if it's bad. Stop generalizing all commercial films to be bad. RRR and Bahubali were praiseworthy movies. Don't think that most of the Indian movies suck because they are commercial, even Hollywood movies run on commercial aspects most of the time and nowadays their films are boring. Most of the audience internationally loved RRR because the film was crafted well by Rajamouli. If you think it's bad then try making a movie of your own and see how hard it is to even make a mediocre film, be it art or commercial.
Baahubali 2 was good bro. First of a kind in indian films. Rest all yes, especially RRR, it's so freaking overrated
@@wanderlust1334 What was so good about Bahubali 2 beyond the CGI? Shallow plot and dialogues, melodramatic acting...that is not my personal assessment.
@@sauceontoes3457 I have to disagree that movies such as RRR, KGF, & Bahubali are praiseworthy. Some commercially successful Hollywood movies may also require one to leave one's brains at home to watch them, but no one continues to sing their praises as if they are the best thing to happen to mankind. People watch them, forget, and move on.
For some Indians to associate such cringeworthy movies with national pride and their sense of self-esteem is the problem.
I can understand if in earlier times Indians needed to escape the reality of their day to day surroundings and sought comfort in such movies, not having other options for entertainment. But for rich NRIs today to still find value in such movies, is confounding for me.
Beyond CGI, there's nothing exceptional about the plot, dialogues, and acting in movies like RRR, Bahubali, KGF, Pathan/Jawan, Govinda-type movies etc. Compare such recent historic/mythological Indian movies to Hollywood movies such as Ten Commandments (1956), Ben Hur (1959), Spartacus (1960), Cleopatra (1963), Gladiator (1999), Troy (2004), and you will see the difference in production, plot depth, acting, gravity of dialogues, inspite of these being made decades ago.
Now, movies such as Golmal (1980), Mr. India (1987), Pushpak (1987 with Kamal Hasan), were commercially successful but were also true works of art with little to criticise about such movies.
@@mayankjain3299Did you mention "Pushpak" as a masterpiece?😂😂😂 Honestly "Mr.India", "Pushpak" were the "RRR"s of the eighties. Hyped up beyond reasoning.
But a commercial movie is not equal to brainless... because "Sholay" or "Don" were very intelligently written and made. It's "KGF" or "RRR" which are no-brainers.
I have always watched films made by Adoor Gopalkrishnan, G V Iyer, G Aravindan, etc. ... in general, I have felt that South Indian movies always tended to be superior on story, acting and technicalities. Big fan of Mamoothy, Mohanlal, Kamalahasan, etc.
After him, rituporno, mrinal sen, an era ended....and bengal cinema is pretty much finished...hardly anything new, fresh or even quarter as good as what these maestros had given us

Such a classy interview.
He looks and sounds a bit like Brendan Fraser in this video.

He was soo correct about indian cinema back then and it still proves him right where bollywood sophisticated backward audience(as he said in an interview)is enjoying masala movies. South cinemas are representing india on international levels

He was talking about Filmmakers like Adoor Gopalakrishnan who made parallel cinema.
Only Malayalam and Tamil industryis producing world class cinemas. Telegu industry(except few filmmakers) is still making third grade Commercial masala action movies like mainstream Hindi industry.
@@roronoazorro8822 except few lmao . there was a time in industry where concept was given atmost prority in 1950's . movies like mayabazaar(used editing to create magic effects in 1957 itself) , narthana shaala, missamma, and so many movies I can name. but of course your opinion comes from thi biasedness of watching only SSR films and commercial movies. on a smaller scale we are still making content movies . it is just that people outside telugu states will never know it as they are not marketed there. telugu industry of 1950's had women empowering roles as welll (contrary to 1970 ones ) .first search those then give your half baked knowledge . colur photo, mattu vadalara,gaami, brochevaaru evarura are few small budget movies which you will never hear about. go stereotype telugu movies and kannada movies on base of kgf, RRR . that is the only merit you can have
@@slayer_142 Among everyone you got their names only. So Sad. The names which u said, they are far better among other Commercial movie makers. RRR won Oscar which was made by Rajamouli and Shankar Sir's Indian(1996) movie was sent for Oscar though it missed. So, Rajkumar Hirani, Shankar and Rajamouli are among top directors in India. Yes, If u personally believe that all Commercial Movies are nonsense then that's a different thing but these directors whom u have mentioned are best Commercial movie makers. Even Shankar Sir's thought was very different and ahead of time but later he changed to target the mass audience. There are many more filmmakers whose name who made bullshit pictures but unfortunately u took those name who are best among Commercial Movies.
Art film makers some how tend to think they mke the best movies but commercial movies enjoyed by mny in fact discuss serious issues but to make it lighter they add dance romance comedy and even glamourous looks or else and with happy ending we will come out excessively depressed or near dead from the theater if the main character is shown realistically like art film does
Then you're extremely unstable, if films can affect your psyche to that level or you're plain stupid that you believe in fiction... films are meant to tell stories,many want to explore stories reflecting reality, dancing and singing defeats the purpose of storytelling and breaks the flow of continuity and is illogical, films are art by default
You are just stupid if you can't handle or understand a realistic and complex character with layers jyadadarlog ke dimag mein aukat nahi hoti realistic aur complex movies ko samjhane mein isliye woh masala films ke taraf jyaada akarshit hote hai people like you who are too indulged in masala films cant understand the value of satyajit ray's works

I once adored this man and his films .I could watch Pather Panchali, Gopi gayen baaga bayen, charulata a million times. But I was absolutely disappointed when I saw one of his interviews with a French interviewer , where he trashed Indian audience for their taste in Indian cinema.
90% of our Indian population lives in abject poverty.
Why would they want to spend time and money to watch their pathetic lives again on screen? They would put that money in a film of 2.5 hrs to escape from their reality. That's natural. He got his fame showcasing the hard lives of Indians and he trashed the same people in some sense in that interview.
Was so disappointed in him whom I considered God of Indian cinema 😢
@lattym3647 you have rights to reserve your opinion. However, his opinion was mainly urban audiences. In his active lifetime, Kolkata was very rich and highly educated. But all his films didn't get audiences in Kolkata, except gupi gayen..
Since all his films (except satranj ki khelari) are in Bengali, his opinion is on Bengal.
@@amalbanerjee1935you are right. It maybe about audience of Bengal. I agree.

@@lattym3647 Charulata is not a story of below proverty level people. His films except gupi gayen series & feluda series were not big hit. But problems showed in his movies are reality.
@lattym3647
And he wasn't wrong in any part of his statement being poor is one thing but being uncivilized is a no way excuse. Look at Bhutan they are poor but civilized do you know why because they're Asians unlike Indians (side note: Indians are not Asians ethnically) you can look up to Moldova that country is known as the Africa of Europe due to its economic conditions they poor white folks who might be living in poverty yet civilized unlike Indians because they're Caucasians. Lastly in a nutshell the reality of human anatomy is ethnicity determines the actions and behaviours of each type of people across the various parts of world. Your hardships don't make you uncivilized but your race and Mr Ray is absolutely right mass Indians are actually uncivilized & backward hence they prefer movies which glorify ræpes, lustful materialism, female objectification and undermining of female gender in particular as a whole because Indians belong to a bad product of ethnic heredity. The very evolution of humans itself is based on craftsmanship of ethnicities son.

People generalize South Indian Cinema but Satyajit Ray did point out Tamil and Malayalam film industries (Madras also included Telugu film industry back then ) but I don't like when people say South Indian films are good becuase South India also includes Telugu film industry which is one of the most regressive industry with full nepotism, cringe crap masala scenes and also sexist crap movies, this applies to some extent to Kannada films as well, Malayalam movies are great and so are some Tamil films.

Bangla ki chilo r ki obostha ekhon. Black and white bengali pictures were first and last era of good bengali movies. Tho ekhon kichu kichu abr bhalo start hoyeche as a form of series.
It's about time we concluded in unison that there is a necessity for both: experimental innovative cinema vis-à-vis commercial mass masala flicks. Satyajit Ray back in his time too knew this pretty well... it's true in India we do have a "fairly backward audience" - not to be mistaken as "uneducated" or "savage", just whose tastes aren't as sharpened as much as those with the privilege of exposure to greater cinema experience from around the world.
These are the masses - beaten, bruised, exhausted from their daily mundane life rat race of monotony who want nothing more than a sense of escapism as a form of entertainment - and nothing serves them better than larger-than-life commercial masala flicks (be it from Bollywood or from any of the other industries like Tamil, Kannada, Telugu etc.). These cinemas, irrespective of their lack of logic or sense, connect to these masses - who are just here to have some good time - like in a theme park, without having to use one's head too much. These movies/cinema are the money spinners, revenue generators - not just for the respective producers, but for the entire industry. When producers mint a lot of money through this action masala scheme of business, they're able to pull of many more movies, even the ones that dont make any money - including the so-called "experimental" or art house cinema.
Cinema is a commercial art form - No money, No Cinema... Without money you cannot have DOPs, script writers, choreographers, editors, sound engineers, technicians of all sort, let alone the Stars! The entire world fortunately or unfortunately works this way (no wonder even Hollywood has cracked this code and now one sees abundance of those horsecrap Marvel movies). This is perhaps going to be the way forward for the foreseeable future... lots of crap big budget extravagant action movies, and few drops really good cinema (for those with a taste) somewhere in the midst of the ocean of the former.
And this is a tried and tested Business Model, noone would dare mess up this workflow, otherwise you end up becoming a Bengali Tollywood industry - which has been struggling to survive for years now because they came to acknowledge the need for this co-existence a bit too late.
I think the critical and artistic appreciation of cinema is mostly a thing of past now. Directors like Nolan have amalgamated depth and entertainment in innovative ways such that even the well exposed viewers no more want to watch experimental, artistic films. Ray himself hardly made experiments in films though, except for the realism which was uncommon in mainstream cinema back then (as Indian cinema was just an extension of theatre to start with). His contemporary Ritwik Ghatak was more leaning towards experimental techniques.
@@a6hiji7Ray literally created bounce lighting,his method of storytelling was very technical and well thought out and planned...he was innovative person as much as it gets...what he didn't do you could say is ,not deep dive into the topics of gore, blood, problematic society, eccentricity of human psyche horror kind of -- basically the the negative aspects of human life , he made clean films keeping audiences in mind belonging to all ages , that's his style...Ghatak was a bit different guy in that sense truly
What year is this? Cause up until the 60s and early 70s, Southern cinema was nowhere as he described. It’s rich in literature, story and acting. And, don’t hate me here but really entertaining unlike Ray’s films. The acting was so top class that some Hollywood acting institutions and studios used them for acting training. The carp we see today started mid 70’s. There were a few good ones but ya 90% is just nonsense.
Southern cinema was flourishing in the 50s itself, especially Telugu film industry, back then in Madras made great commercial successes like Anarkali 1950, Swapna Sundari 1950, Pathala Bhairavi 1951, Maya Bazaar 1957, Missamma 1955, Anarkali 1955, and so on and so forth... there are as many Tamil movies during these times.

*THE GOAT DIRECTOR*
See guys south indian filmmakers are very clever.They know marketing strategies..
But our bollywood directors and filmmakers do not know and they also nowadays they don't focus on action films..but focus on emotions,intuitions,and soulful cinemas
That is the reason south indian films are liked by people
The Southern film industry today is not the same as the one in the previous decades. Today, only a small percentage of movies are watchable. On top of that there has been no development in terms of writing. Dialogues are poor. Music sucks big time these days, you hear the same music in every movie. There is also copying of Western style of singing but it does go well with the local language. Heroism is still the staple, especially when it comes to big budget movies. On the whole, there is no development in the industry, it seem to be stuck in a rut. Look at the Korean film industry, despite being far younger , it has managed to produce films and drama that are enjoyed the world over. One of their movies even won Best Picture at the Oscars, not Best Foreign Film, best picture.
First of all, "our" Bollywood cinema?? OUR ?? You seem to be a Bengali and you are calling bollywood movie as ours and south movie as theirs? You mentioned south has marketing strategy and bollywood has soulful stories???? Either you are completely unaware of movies or else you are high on drugs? Any forms of films connect with audience with core of its emotions only. Your fucking so called bollywood directors are unable to portray those emotions on screen except few such as Kiran Rao etc.. Go n watch Malayalam films, Tamil films, few Telugu films like Jersey you will understand what emotion is called. Bdw, your industry should be in the Bengali film industry, not bollywood.
Most of the current hit Malayalam films have north indians as producers 😂they know where the moolah lies
You're actually saying the opposite. Bollywood is all about Punjabi songs now and disgusting male domination just bcoz the audience demand that. No matter how manht female oriented films come, it won't change the male dominated mindset of bollywood. Take animal for example, it was a disgusting film degrading women but it was appreciated by so many people
Malayalam have the best stories, Tamil has best innovation n Telugu has best emotions/family sentiments
