India made history today.
It launched it's most expensive film ever, that came from the country. India has a huge movie business. It's 1.6 Billion population from across the country consume movies on Huge Theatre screens, TVs, Laptops & Mobile Phones. But still, it's movie budgets had limits.
The previous highest budget for an Indian movie was around $60 Million. Launched a couple of years ago, this number was a jaw dropping figure for its producers to invest into a 3 hr movie. It ended up being a blockbuster & recouping its money. But Ramayana? They put in a whooping $210 Million.
And Guess what? There's Part 2 coming with another $200 Million budget. Hearing this was bonkers for the regular indian audience. Out of the world like. As much as to wait to test the work, most that i spoke to felt very responsible in hoping the movie will work out. I'm not sure but i think it was the feeling of being an Indian that was speaking. The Indian that is aiming to build for the globe. Trying to make a difference.
That's the feeling that made me write this article. I am that Indian with high aspirations. I may not have the support i need, but i will continue to keep shooting for the stars. I have such inspirations proving everyday that it is possible.
And about the movie?
I watched it yesterday & it was a pretty good flick. It undoubtedly is the best quality movie that came out of the country. Whether the world liked it or not is a tale to be heard.
Hope you get to watch it too.
