Let’s take a break from serious issues. From past one week world around us is not in serious mood! It’s the 'Rajani mania' everywhere. As I too a diehard fan of Rajani, it thrills me to be a part of the madness he created all over!
As you know and already read the latest from style king, ‘Shivaji-the boss’ is the rage ‘n’ craze everywhere now. I often wonder why our people go so much 'Mad' over mere a film! Even this question has continuously haunted me several times. After doing some psycho analysis, I found an answer but not convinced. If you have more appealing answers, you are most welcome to post it. Let’s chat. Come Let’s have fun time!!
I have seen many people sitting around me while watching a movie, so much obsessed about the hero or involved in the plot such that, when their Idol or ‘On screen hero’ gives a punch to a villain, the hands and body of the person also moves here and there automatically! Some times he never cares for others! But some times when came to know about this he him self becomes embarrassed! Frankly, even I have experienced these happening with me without my knowledge at all!! Similarly I've seen our men and women crying when on screen hero or heroin cries, whistling when they come out of their 'On screen trouble'!!
Basically, we idealise someone in our hearts. It’s natural and instant to get ‘mad’ for whatever our ‘Idol’ is doing, though it is on screen! We see ourselves in an onscreen hero. We expect him to do the things at least on screen, which we can't do in our real life. Then obviously, the larger than life characters, the way they portray the characters in 'reel world' really fascinates us. It makes us to forget our day-to-day miseries of life for a moment at least.
When this happens, the hero instantly becomes an Idol in people’s mind, to which they are even ready to offer worship! When these kinds of several people gather in a place, the mass hysteria begins. The Madness begins! Some times this even goes up to an extent that people kill themselves when their hero dies an on screen death. Interestingly, some times they simply follow whatever their onscreen hero does. Added to this is the media hype!
Leave the madness. Interestingly, 'Shivaji', 100th film for Souths only style icon, is the film ever made in the history of Indian cinema with a huge budget of whopping 100plus crores!! What a coincidence! 100crores for 100th film! It is expected that the film will earn back all its investment within 10days! Rajani was paid whopping 40 crores as remuneration which is highest ever paid remuneration for any hero in the history of Indian cinema! Even more than Jackie Chan! Oops!
Shivaji-The Boss-A technological Wonder
Technically speaking, Shivaji equals a Hollywood film in every manner! It has used 4K resolution technology for the first time ever in Indian film industry, which is mostly used on big-budget Hollywood movies!
In India, 2K resolution was the set standard for Digital Intermediate-DI. (Digital intermediate, often abbreviated as DI, is the process of digitizing a motion picture and manipulating colour and other image characteristics to change the look, and is usually the final creative adjustment to a movie before its release) In 4K scanning requires much bigger memory space (almost 4times 2K) than 2K system. Added to this technology is very costly affair. For these reasons technology was never used in India.
For instance, to add special effect to the movie each frame of the film should be scanned. Now, if each frame scanned in a 2K system takes 12mb memory, 4K takes 48mb space! I think now you can imagine how costly and how cumbersome the job is!
The Advantage is that in 4K , you'll get much more high resolution pictures to manipulate as you want. In effect whatever manipulations or special effects you add to each frame, it looks more real! Even colour grading (Colour grading-is the process of altering and enhancing the color of a motion picture or television image, either electronically, photo-chemically or digitally. The photo-chemical process is also referred to as color timing and is typically performed at a photographic laboratory, generally done digitally) also looks so natural in screen. That’s why you can see the ‘Real-Reel Special effects’ in Shivaji!
Saturdays Media reports say that 'Shivaji' is the real treat to watch. However, as one of my friend has said, nobody can dare to write on 'Shivaji's flaws. As both media and Shivaji mutually need each other to lure us!!
However, it’s good to hear that this time Rajani left smoking! Instead he opted for eating bajjis and chewing gums in Rajani style! Added to this is tossing a coin!!
Well, I don't have tickets to watch the film now. Yesterday I only watched Madness of the crowd over ‘Shivaji’ across the Bangalore to write a report. Is anybody having tickets?
Jai Shivaji...from my side!!!
