"Movies with agenda"

Why is it that our movies (majorly) have a good theme (sometimes) but awful execution in terms of screenplay and logical flow of events? Why do we allow the Anil Sharmas to make a mockery of the Indian public by allowing them to serve shit in a golden plate? And we all go to see the movie... yes, we all do, but in sheer anticipation that may be this time!!! <br><br>
Cinema is a very powerful tool and it can shape public opinion... I strongly feel that there could be a non-profit organisation which makes meaningful movies to shape the national pysche. Now you may say that there are a few already, but I propose something different... I do not intend to make art movies. It\'s like if a child can not swallow a pill we\'ll sugar-coat it and feed him... Similarly, we can make commercial movies with hidden agendas... What I\'m saying may look outrageous ostensibly, but remember this is what the West has been doing for years with BBC documentries and more recently with \"embedded-journalism\". I think who dream of doing something for the society have long since forgotten that the most powerful tool man has ever invented is media... mass communication. Why don\'t we use it??

This article is ridiculous....it has got no logic...how can any other commercial movie be differetn?? and BTW why should anyone make movies instead of helping people out in real time?? Any such conceptulization of a NPO is purely lunacity....

See man, I\'m sorry for my \"People\" oriented funda of having an NPO or the issue. I sincerely believe that if we do good then we have all the right to make money too...So everything stands in my offer along with that it could well be a very profitable proposition!! I\'ll be shortly opening up a theater group in Hyderabad as the first step.
