Dying Art Of Film Making

I have been a big fan of Hindi Films and I was proud of the way our film makers used their art of story telling to teach us and entertain us even when there were less resources and less developed technology. However, the days are gone when our film makers used to make classical films to be remembered for life time. Today they have every resource but still they chose otherwise. And every time most of them make a film they disappoint us more. The reason is they think of commerce than making a good film. They put a great star cast, some steamy scenes, bold characters, great locations and few heavy dialogues no matter if it’s hurting some emotions, assemble them and make a film out of it and they think they have made a great film. Well, most of such movies have neither a story nor a classical approach of film making. Please guys! Go get an admission in the first standard again to learn it. Yes, you may earn hefty amount from such film making but what you are giving back to the society? Who will remember you as a film maker? For how long you can continue this way? Well, such people have no time thinking this as they are busy boasting of their works. They think they can make people fool forever. However they forget that they are fooling themselves by this only. Only to regret in the end that they had a chance to make a mark, to make a difference and create something memorable. 
The situation is even new film makers think in this way only. They too get inspired by such films and start making films which falls in such category only. 
I feel pity for them as well for the bollywood films as they are continuously degrading the standards of film making, that they are continuously killing this art. 
I just wish some day it will change and we will see some great art again on silver screen, some great stories, and some great performances which we can remember for long.
