바카라Entertainment, entertainment, entertainment 바카라 and that바카라s what movies are all about바카라 goes a popular dialogue from the movie 바카라The Dirty Picture바카라 starring . This statement holds true for all commercial movies that have been made in the past 110 years of . Filmmakers have come and filmmakers have gone, and they have all tried to bring their own flavour to this popcorn entertainment-seeking audience. While there have been filmmakers like Manmohan Desai, Prakash Mehra, Yash Chopra and many others who had been flying the flag of commercial cinema with great zeal and success in the previous century, in the last three decades one man has taken the level of commercial cinema to absolutely new heights, and that is .
He arrived in the late 1990s and completely revolutionised the commercial Indian movie market. He gave a new meaning to the escapist cinema. Yash Chopra in the 1970s-80s had already started taking audiences to foreign locales. His son, Aditya Chopra, with his massive successful venture, 바카라Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge바카라 opened up the doors for audiences to enjoy a Western feel in their movies. Karan Johar just took this to an entire new diaspora of audiences 바카라 the rich, wealthy and urban populace. He tried to cater to the Indians living abroad.
Karan Johar has tried to always maintain a narrative that tries to remain grounded in a genuine Indian setting 바카라 but in his own escapist ways.
When he made his directorial debut with 바카라Kuch Kuch Hota Hai바카라, he altered the notion of Indian college life. Up until then, the Indian audiences had gotten used to the representation of students and college life in a very delicate and rather sympathetic way. But with 바카라Kuch Kuch Hota Hai바카라, Indian audiences were up for a cultural shock when they saw a pretty much unheard-of college atmosphere which could just exist in fantasies. However, that didn바카라t mean that audiences didn바카라t flock to theatres to watch the film. It was one of the biggest hits of that decade, and one of the prime reasons for the movie바카라s success was the radical showcasing of college and student life.
In his subsequent films also, Karan Johar continued to cater to a huge segment of the Indians living abroad. With films like 바카라Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham바카라, 바카라Kal Ho Na Ho바카라, 바카라Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna바카라, 바카라Dostana바카라, etc he continued to give audiences an immersion into exotic locales, melodic music and a dream world where everything seems to work out for the good at the end of it all.
However, Karan Johar has time and again been at the receiving end of harsh criticism for his sort of escapist cinema. For example, does a school like St Teresa, which was shown in 바카라Student Of The Year바카라 films, ever look real? But despite the criticism audiences love to get themselves immersed in his escapist world. Like no one in India would have known how a prom night would have felt like in an Indian setting until Karan Johar showed it in 바카라Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham바카라 or the 바카라Student Of The Year바카라 movies. Karan Johar just picked up the things from the West and tried to dip them in an Indian milieu. How far he succeeded in keeping it real is obviously debatable.
Karan Johar may have been mocked by the audiences quite a few times for creating movies about exclusively the wealthy, but no one can deny the fact that he knows his audience. People may troll him for his outlandish storytelling but there would be barely a few who would have missed any of his directorial ventures. The world he creates may not be realistic or even feasible, but his audience sure loves to submerge themselves into his stories. Possibly one of the reasons why none of Karan Johar바카라s directorial ventures has bombed at the box-office.
Even 바카라Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna바카라, which didn바카라t do as much business as his other films managed to, was referred to as a film ahead of its times. Back in 2006, when the movie hit screens, adultery wasn바카라t that common a topic to be talking about so openly, and Karan Johar decided to weave a story around that, which probably didn바카라t strike the bull바카라s eye with the audiences.
Ever since he took over the reins of after his father passed away, Karan Johar has just taken the production house to new heights. So much so that it is now considered one of the topmost movie production houses in the country. He has backed some out-of-the-box scripts and some of them have done really well with the audiences. Films like 바카라Wake Up Sid바카라, 바카라Dostana바카라, 바카라The Lunchbox바카라, 바카라Baahubali바카라, 바카라Raazi바카라, 바카라Shershaah바카라, and many others were backed by Karan Johar despite being way different from the kind of stories that he himself writes or directs. If he has done a 바카라Student Of The Year바카라, he has also done a 바카라My Name Is Khan바카라. If he has backed a 바카라Drive바카라, he has also backed a 바카라Raazi바카라.
In a career spanning almost 30 years, on one side he has showcased life in a fantasy land with big mansions, and schools where kids go to proms and have unreal experiences, but on another side, he has even managed to give the audience some heart-touching stories. People saw different shades of love and 바카라falling in love바카라 through his films.
As far as the tag of escapist commercial filmmaker goes, he himself once said in an interview with sify.com, 바카라Cinema is all about creation and the result of your own kind of aspiration as a human being. If you are not good-looking, you want to show good-looking people in your films. If you are not thin, you want to show them walk on the beach looking hot and sexy. So, if you haven't had a glamorous school or college life, you just want to show that.바카라
바카라Escapism has everything to do with cinema and I am an escapist by nature and therefore it presents itself on celluloid as well,바카라 concluded Karan Johar.
