discover some faggots::lights, camera, action::distribute it to the masses ==movie business
an idle day with idle thoughts...sigh.!!
as i rambled to the upper floor for our regular chai-meet i thought abt wht i would write in my blog today..i had discovered the joys of blogging two days back... sheer frustration n absolutely nothing to do drove me to test if there was a creative side in me.!
Mr.PM if u stumble upon this post i would like to convey tht if u dnt give me work this devil's workshop will churn out blog after blog after blog..!! *devilish grin*
between sips of sweet boost the topic of discussion turned into the film industry..! Mr.Othala (rightly christened for his discovery of the exquisite joys of idleness..!!) came up with a theory that all movies produced in south india came under the general tag of "tollywood"...curiosity took the better of me n i decided to do some research n then write abt the world of movies!
Hollywood..!!
now this is a place where ppl believe in the saying "there's no business like sex business".. it was formed by a couple of dudeh's with a passion for lens n acting who like really wanted to freak out..every year depending on how good u are with ur "job" , a conniving actor gets some strange phallic statue of some macha called Oscar..!!
this strange place Hollywood is actually a district in California(i swear i dint know tht.!) and its often used as a metonym for the American film industry(read land of suckers ,but johnny depp i love u.!!)..! boy that was trivia..!
Facts::the popular etymology is tht the name Hollywood traces to the ample stands of holly tht covers the hillsides every winter.!
Bollywood..!!
cross the oceans n u reach a magical land of rubbish yentartainment...the movies are really good yaar..! n the kuddi's are also soo kweel yaar..!
a land of actors with bleached skin n fake american accent who are "like" so cute n "like" so sexy..! to enter into this forbidden land u need to ve a khan or kapoor after your name(clannish faggots.!)..it helps if u are fair-skinned,muscular,balls to prance around in bare minimum in the swiss alphs (wonder why they all dnt die of pneumonia) .. oh n did i mention fair-skinned.!
Facts:: the name is actually a portmanteau of Bombay and Hollywood..! most of the films are said to be funded by the underworld..wow.!!
Kollywood..!!
ok no more mudslinging..! the movies produced down south are the ones i truly enjoy..Bolly/Holly u guys really suck.!!
Kollywood is the Tamil industry.. its a conflation of kodambakkam n hollywood.. kodambakkam is a highly developed place in TN..all major film studios n residences of famour actors adorn the streets...the one thing i truly enjoy abt tamil movies is the music..ultimate dik-chak-dik-chak songs.. A.R.Rehman u are GOD..! there's nobody on this earth like thee..!
Tollywood..!!
the telgu film industry..no points for guessing how the name was formed..!
havn't watched telgu movies but those cheap goons always create a superhit outta dubbed movies..! so if u've enjoyed a tamil or mallu movie u can bet ur bottoms dollar tht tollywood has already re-maked it.!
Mollywood..!!
I LIKE.. I LIKE..i saved the best for the last.! period from late 1980's-early 1990's was the golden age of malayalam cinema..movies dealing with everyday life with a lucid narration of plot, intermingling with humor and meladealing...wah-wah.! boy those are the movies i enjoy even today..i fall short of words when i ve to describe some of the pictures(as said in mallu land.!)..
enakye ethonam ishatpetta cinemaas manichitratal,chinthavishtayalla shamala pennae ella mohanlal cinemas..!!!!
To inform all those who go through this blog, it was ann who got this crazy idea that all south indian film industries are called tolly wood and we cleared her confusion
ReplyDeletebut after reading this blog, it seems like she is still under lot of confusion :)
Ann - I wanted to comment 2 things.
ReplyDelete1. The language you use is worser than a Mallu lang or the code of my project - which always bounces over my head. Please use some simple english terminologies and try to make simple sentences out of it.
2. Please do some honors for the great Kannada industry too popularly known as Sandalwood.
