From Lost Poetry to Realism in Performances
Manisha Koirala, nostalgically reflected on what has been lost in modern cinema. She noted, “Music and poetry is missing,” a sentiment many fans of older films might share. “Earlier the good songs were hote, thehraav hota tha, now that is missing”. She added, “Everything is robotic now, we used to be relaxed earlier,” pointing to the more mechanical, fast-paced nature of modern filmmaking.
The rise of digital platforms and social media has also altered personal connections. Koirala emphasized, “We had human bondings earlier and today it’s just the feedback through social media,” illustrating the shift from real-world connections to online interactions. Despite these changes, Koirala said, “The pace is good now, I like it,” and expresses, “I love the realism in the performance and takes nowadays.”
Changing Dynamics of Personal Connections in Cinema
Shriya Pilgaonkar mentioned, “Aaj kal log darr hain gaye that we will be misunderstood,” revealing how fear of judgment has impacted modern performances. She also highlighted by saying, “Abhi everyone has their own people and their own circle.” This sentiment is echoed by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who remarked, “Pehle industry mein bonds bante the, ab no one has time.”
Shift Away from Emotional Depth and Connections
