Hi All
Making a movie is quite different from making a genre of movies. I see some people have named one-off's; the point is a whole genre of irrational movies can not be sustained in our place. Hollywood has sustained itself on irrationality for several decades (it still does; the only money makers are from this genre). Does anyone seriously think the same will happen in TN? |

2. Mental outlook - Unlike the West, people in India (atleast TN) are still reasonably sane and rational. It is difficult to convince them to accept irrational themes like magic, fantasy, ghosts, vampires etc; and what is not accepted, will not sell. |

Ghost movies run in the U.S. beacuse their culture teaches them to accept the existence of the subject matter i.e. the ghosts themselves. As a consequence, the audience identifies with and appreciates the movie. For functionally equivalent reasons, the same movies would not be recieved well in our place. |

film makers need to make an effort with these kind of movies if they want to make them accepted and profitable. I believe there is a market out there for movies like these |

If the guy who made the Child's Play saw 'Vaa Arugil Vaa' he'd wish the doll the doll attacks him first and end his misery. They really expect us to get spooked by hysterically cackling, uncombed women draped in white ? (I grew up on a steady diet of Raasaathi Varum Naal etc.) Anybody recall early SunTV's Nishagandhi that was aired with the disclaimer that 'cardiac patients keep away'. I guess they'd've died from having their intelligence insulted than anything else. C.K.Saraswathy holding a lantern was their spookiest best. On the other hand Naga's first round of Marmadesam made nice viewing. I recall from I.S.Johar's q&a column in Filmfare: Q: Why do Hindi filmmakers not make horror films ? A: What else do they make. |

The question is, can such movies sustain continuos momentum to constitute an entire genre in our society? My answer remains 'no'. |

But let’s not forget the other actors who are good; they may not be ‘heroes’, or ‘heroines’, but have great talent and can take on leading roles. Pasupathy, Nasser, Prakashraj, Deli Ganesh (imagine all of them in one movie!) |

What springs to my mind is this guy P R Panthulu (or something like that) who produced numerous B/W movies on Tamil culture. Need someone like that now. |
