National Awards
reflect the nation
The
announcement of the National Awards every years excites all the movie-lovers in
India simply because a big number of awards are conferred upon films of a
State, made in the local language. This time not only states like Tamil Nadu
and Andhra Pradesh showcased their films but there was even a film made last
year in the Wancho language spoken by a tribal people in the hills of Arunachal
Pradesh. There are films being made
in Khasi, Bodo, Manipuri, Maithili, Mizo, Konkani, even Sanskrit. These films
touch upon social issues, to environment conservation and preservation, to the
educational and entertainment needs of children.
The National
Awards reflect the nation, where several interests need to be balanced for the
overall good.
Baahubali deserved Best Picture Award. It
managed to unite the nation’s movie-watching public as no other film in recent
times, across regional State lines, even across the Vindhyas. Bahubali attracted national attention
because of the budget and the CG.
The film
makers, to ensure profitability of their venture, they need to be sure that the
movies receive wide appeal. The marketing helped in assuring the same and the
results are known. A movie needs to be assessed on the basis of movie making
skills, social responsibility, the effect it brings on the viewers and the
innovation done in the movie. Only then even small budget film makers will be
motivated to deliver a quality product.
National Award
Ceremony is the celebration of cultural diversity. A successful film makes its
journey to other regions. It is good for industry and good for Nation.
The last thing
is that any Award should be given in accordance with their merits and not based
on whether it is from north India or from south India.
