Star appeal sells more, so why not use it to awaken more people? Yes, the videos you'd posted are very very aesthetically appealing, but unfortunately they do not seem to be reaching out enough.... Perhaps something like Phir mile sur mera tumhara might.. Again, I could be just dreaming.. :)Summer Rainhttp://www.questforidentity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923020.post-53925910712080647102010-01-30T10:55:47.465-05:002010-01-30T10:55:47.465-05:00Point taken...they are in the video for what we kn...Point taken...they are in the video for what we know them for and I've nothing personal against any of them. As I said, the only thing irks me is, Are they the most inspirational people whom we want to depict our National Integration with? But, yes, thankfully, the video rather prefers to show people and landscapes than the split cultural displays. But I would still feel that why this when we have the ability for creations like - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwbykWPEI_U<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpc-jGZkbAk&feature=related<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHd98G2u4QU<br /><br />A video on srilanka..<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPnrW2H87jMMighty Titanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923390301220863210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19923020.post-44113460577766869142010-01-30T08:27:17.526-05:002010-01-30T08:27:17.526-05:00I just had a look at the video and I agree, it is ...I just had a look at the video and I agree, it is heavily influenced by Bollywood, but I do not think it is bad. For one, patriotism and national integration are fading virtues today, like you have said, <b><i>"the closest that we can get to the event is to mumble a silent thanks for being born in a free and democratic country" </i></b>. Children at various schools I have taught before do not even know why we celebrate these festivals, cannot blame them either. All I am trying to say is the song would probably get noticed by the younger lot because of those bollywood faces, and right now, we do need the attention. Like the old saying goes, "Mulla Mullala thaan edukkanum"<br /><br />Secondly, the video does present all these actors/actresses in their glam element, because thats what we know them for. I don't personally feel that is bad. Another thing I really liked about the video was the fact there was no undue reference to the different cultures, rather an overall sense of unity. People and landscapes have been preferred to actual "diplays of culture", so to speak.<br /><br />I do understand your viewpoint, but something that is commercial need not always be bad. :)Summer Rainhttp://www.questforidentity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
