The term Golden Age itself seems to age very poorly, or is it just that I haven’t heard enough of Amrit Karl? No, but the film could still be highly contested.

One reason is simply personal preference. Some have argued that Hindi films of the 60s are often unfairly denied (although he may be a rarity). guide and Saheb Bibi Aul Ghuram We shouldn’t cut corners like we do today.

Similarly, nostalgia blinds even the wisest of people, and the movies that shape us during our formative years can have a strong influence on one’s tastes and perceptions.quite a few people i know love Zindagi Na Miregi Dovara as a classic.

For me, the golden age of cinema is when both commerce and content reached their peak. A classic example is his 70s Hollywood, where great movies are made one after another, but among the major blockbusters, godfather and chinthe film that rewrote boundaries and box office returns.

In India, the Golden Age issue becomes a little more difficult for me, as it brings to mind the different film industry conditions of the time. So there were some of the best actors in 1950s Telugu cinema, making some great films that were more cinematic than you could imagine, especially his KV Reddy work, but at the same time, before Hindi cinema. never stood. It was a completely different beast. (we were better Devdasbut that’s another discussion).

Likewise, Hindi cinema in the 1970s was something else entirely, and in my opinion, the industry in the South was forced to lift itself up to escape competition from Hindi cinema in its home market. So I don’t think this is the golden age of Tamil or Telugu cinema, but both K Balachander and K Viswanath became very active during this decade, as did Bharathiraja, Bhapuramana and others. In fact, apart from Tamil’s K Balachander and Bharatiraja, and Telugu’s Viswanath and Bapu, I can’t think of any prominent directors with their own style and technique here.

The one exception to this is probably Kannada movies. This is because some of the most prominent names such as Nag Duo, Girish Karnad, Puttana Kanagal and BV Karanth have also inspired a parallel movement in Hindi cinema.

In the 1980s, Hindi cinema has fallen into a pit, with aging superstars taking breaks and Nepo debuting en masse (Remember Kunal Goswami? Remember? neil neil umber, couldn’t start Manoj Kumar’s son?).Parallel cinema and middle cinema were doing well until 1985, but after 1985, I think the movement dried up. Fukumato Of all the movies that were the biggest Hindi hits of 1987

The period from 1985 to 1995 was not only the undisputed golden age of Malayalam cinema, but it was also a great time for Tamil and Telugu cinema. Both of these industries saw breakthroughs for Mani Ratnam and Ram Gopal Varma. Ratri again RojaBoth filmmakers worked together Gayam and tilda tildathis must have been an interesting experience.

Tamil cinema also saw Kamal Haasan returning from a failed Hindi stint to deliver. Nayagan, push pack, Apoorva Sagodargarh And the rest is history. Ilaiyaraaja “consolidated his greatness” even in this decade, according to a book I read about Tamil music called Raga 2 Rock.

The only, super one, superstar Rajinikanth has had some of his most iconic mass movies. annamalai During this period, this is still some of the best masala movies.

AR Rahman spent three years from 1992-95 rewriting Indian film scores forever.

(Discussion on Raaja: The Rule and Rahman: The Rise):

The early 90s saw the rise of Prabhu Deva and Shankar, game changers in choreography and commercial cinema. gentleman after that cardaran.

I am not Tamil, but if you ask a non-Tamil person for a name related to Tamil movies, you will find the above individual.

This is why I believe Tamil cinema from 1985 to 1995 is its golden age.

In 1995, Mani Ratnam Bombay It was a big hit in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.Rajinikanth transformed from a star into a demigod BashaKamal and Shankar started working on Indian.

But nothing has changed and Hindi cinema has also made a huge comeback with an earth-shaking collection. Hum Apke Hai KaunAll too visibly trends began to change with the success of another film released in 1995.

Check out my hometown Guntur collection released in 1997. At that time it was a Telugu second class city. An interesting movie stands out. The film ran for his 100 days like other blockbusters that year. Peri Sandadi, and actually collected more than those.a movie called Premince Peradusa I didn’t ring the bell until I heard this song:

Yes, DDLJ’s Telugu dubbed release was released in 1997 after the initial 1995 release ran for 100 days and collected more than a Telugu blockbuster in places like Vijayawada and Guntur. There must have been a similar influence in Chennai. Kadar Desam and again Poub Unakangamovies that made us witness delays like these:

The wave of urban romcoms in both Tamil and Telugu cinema in the late 90s was definitely an attempt to follow the trend set by Yashraj.

in the meantime dill chatta high Vested trade analysts now see it as some kind of vish that came out of Samdramantham, but it didn’t really influence the film as much as it’s been perceived. impact dill chatta high Mostly confined to the films Saif did during this time ham tomwhich was a much bigger hit than dill chatta high and it was after salaam namaste I made a Daruma Dostana again Sid wakes up.

There is also the theory that of Gadar The success was deliberately ignored by industry and others, which is not true at all.rear GadarAnil Sharma Got Two Huge Movies Hero and ATHWSwas a smaller hit at first Devdas And the second with a huge star cast is a massive flop. Sunny Deol’s career went nowhere. tar.

Masala movies, also excellent ones like khaki Even mediocre rom-coms weren’t doing well. But as Karan Johar said in his autobiography, K3G half done of Gadar Between 2000 and 2005, filmmakers wanted to target NRI audiences and create epic melodramas centered around wealthy people.

Hindi cinema didn’t set the trend per se, but there was another great run from 2005 to 2016 that managed to balance content and commerce. 3 idiots, PK and Dangal.

Then, on April 28, 2017, the film was released, now in the world of SS Rajamouli.
