Anurag Kashyap, who made memorable films related to ground reality like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Black Friday’ and ‘Dev-D’, has called Bollywood a bye. The audience of Hindi films will now miss them. Anurag has been famous for serving a cocktail of crime and lust love stories in his films. He found a new audience class for himself. Now the people of Hindi will not get to see the same cinema. Before saying goodbye to Bollywood, he has also told the Hindi film industry a toxic and running after money. According to his eyes, creativity in Bollywood is not being given attention. Now the mission of the artists is just making hundreds of crores of rupees. Nobody wants to make cinema, everyone wants to earn indiscriminate money by making a spectacle.
However, both these things of Bollywood are not new. It has already been toxic and running after money. But after its race increased, Anurag Kashyap’s patience has been responded. Now he dedicated himself completely to South Cinema. There is no doubt that Anurag’s films are a lesson for the filmmakers of the new generation.
Today, web series or short films shown on OTT, which have background crime, have been the inspiration of their makers’ Bhoomi Anurag Kashyap. Because Anurag has such a language of cinema, he creates such an environment on the screen where the society seems to be present with alive. There is no artificial world.
Master in both acting and direction
Anurag Kashyap has been making his place fast in South Indian cinema for some time. Recently his film ‘Maharaja’ was well liked. In this, he acted with a legendary artist like Vijay Sethupati. After watching this film, it is difficult to guess whether Anurag directors are very good or actor. According to my view, both are Anurag Master in both formats. At present, he is busy promoting the Hindi version of Malayalam film footage. Directed by Sauju Sreedharan, the film stars Manju Warrier, Vishak Nair and Gayatri Ashok in the lead roles. This film in Hindi is releasing this Friday. Along with this, Anurag will also be seen in the role of a courageous police officer in ‘Dacoit’. It is in both Hindi and Telugu language. This film is the story of an angry criminal.
Travel from Street Theater to Satya
If you take a look at Anurag’s film career, he started with veteran filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma. Before that, he had a relationship with the Street Theater Group in the Jan Natya Manch. Nukkad also used to play the drama. For the first time, when he got a chance to go to the International Film Festival and watch movies, Victorio became a fan of de Sika. The story and filming of ‘Bicycle Thws’ made him crazy. Add cinema seeds inside them. Later, when Ram Gopal Varma came in connection with Mumbai, he worked to improve writing before making. Wrote a film with a crime story like Satya, which brought closer to ground reality cinema.
New experiment in classic story like Devdas
With Ramu, Anurag got a lot of training to learn and understand the latest language of cinema. Which he made early films like Gangs of Wasseypur and Black Friday as an experiment. It is not surprising that when this experiment became successful, it started to be called their own cinema. He had mastered the gray side of the society in the same way. Anurag Kashyap also made a new experiment in a classic love story like Devdas. Removed the emotional side of that story and brought it to the reality ground. The backdrop of the story was removed from Bengal and shifted to Punjab. Thus Dev D Cinematic became a bitter love story against emotional atrocities. A love story whose foundation begins with crime and ends on crime.
Anurag’s cinema means the story of the ground
In the cinematic world of Anurag, there is a safe place for the crime world. They not only present the crime like a crime thriller, but also go to their origin by pasting it with the surroundings and bring it to their easy end. In this context, he made many films- such as boxer, Gulal, next, Raman Raghav 2.0, No Smoking, Manmargiyaan, etc. Anurag’s cinema means the story of the ground. It is obvious that in today’s date, the mood whose Hindi films are getting promotion and raining crores at the box office, the space of Anurag Style films decreases. Because he does not weave fantasy for mere fun.
Now what will Anurag Kashyap do next?
With leaving Bollywood, Anurag Kashyap has made his new place in South Cinema. The important question is whether Anurag will get full space here according to his mind? However, it can also be a part of his well thought out strategy. In recent years, the actor of South Cinema or South has received PAN India praise. His film Maharaja is its latest Nazir. Anurag feels that by staying in Bollywood or her films, her or her films will not be able to see the result with South’s films. Therefore, he wants to maintain access to Pan India only through South Cinema.
Anurag has also been targeted due to many opposition campaigns in Bollywood in the past. He feels that in the film world of South, there is less disgusting politics of Bombay Cinema. But the important question is, will you be able to achieve height with films like South to Anurag Gangs of Wasseypur, Black Friday or Devdi? Or we will try to touch a new place.
