Sensational Film: PM Modi Shares Interesting Tweet

It is known that the Godhra train burning incident in 2002 is regarded as a black mark in the political career of Narendra Modi. This incident claimed 59 lives and ever since, there is a political narrative linking Modi’s name to the heinous act. However, Modi and the BJP have claimed not-guilt in this matter.

Now, a new film in the name Sabarmati Report has come out and it is based on the true incidents pertaining to the fateful event. Incidentally, PM Modi himself has reacted on the film and here is what he said.

“Well said. It is good that this truth is coming out, and that too in a way common people can see it. A fake narrative can persist only for a limited period of time.

Eventually, the facts will always come out!” Modi tweeted in reply to an earlier post from Author Alok Bhatt. Earlier, Author Alok Bhatt tweeted “Why I feel the film #SabarmatiReport is a must watch. Let me share my views:

1. The effort is particularly commendable because it brings out the important truth of one of the most shameful events in our recent history.

2. The makers of the film handled this issue with a lot of sensitivity and dignity.

3. On a larger point, it is worth introspection for all of us as to how the brutal burning of passengers of the Sabarmati Express was turned into a political minefield by a vested interest group, who saw it as a means to tarnish the image of one leader. Their ecosystem peddled one lie after another other just to satisfy their own petty agenda.

4. Finally 59 innocent victims got to speak for themselves. Yes, as they say, truth alone triumphs. This movie is indeed a fitting tribute to those 59 innocent men, women and children we lost that February morning.”

This film is billed to be an agenda-busting film on the Godhra Train incident and it has now received high praise from PM Modi himself, which is a big deal in itself for everyone involved.

Time up for senior generation directors in Tollywood?

Tollywood is a largely bustling industry with a huge influx of fresh and appeasing talent. In particular, the new crop of young filmmakers in the industry have been showcasing immense potential. This has essentially meant that the older generation of directors are no longer relevant in the industry.

The likes of Puri Jagannadh and VV Vinayak have already faded out and they are no longer in the picture. At the same time, we have veterans like Rajamouli and Sukumar who are sustaining with their pan Indian presence. Trivikram might also follow this suit sooner or later and the result will decide his prospects.

But for now, the industry is being virtually ruled by the current crop of filmmakers including Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Venky Atluri, Prasanth Varma, and others who have immense potential and are coming with the kind of content that is appeasing the modern day audience. They are the leading directors in the modern day set up as the Telugu folk are also readily lapping them up.

The current generation audience are always looking for something out of the ordinary and they are leaving no stone unturned to encourage fresh and exciting content. Matching this taste is nearly impossible for Puri, Vinayak and others. Only the directors with global touch like Rahamouli and Sukumar are able to keep themselves relevant and that too with extensive hard work.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga has brought in a new change of paradigm in the industry where the audience are readily lapping up a film regardless of the A-rate content and violence. The industry appears to be in search of more X-factor directors like him at this point. Same with Prasanth Varma who is blending creative storytelling with top tier making values.

In the due course, this trend will only get bigger and better as Tollywood prepares to encourage a fresh bunch of promising talent with more and more directors popping up day in day out. This is a positive reinforcement that is perhaps necessitated by the changing tastes and sensibilities of the modern day audience. Only the most talented of the lot can pull the audience to theaters these days.
