It Is Time Bollywood Started Taking ‘Make In India’ Seriously, Says Nirmal Singh Lotus Green


When Yash Chopra decided to take Bollywood to Switzerland, he didn’t know that he is, in fact, bringing the world to India and is feeding the escapists fantasies of us Indian who just cannot get enough of the snow-covered mountains and Sri Devi dancing in the wind with Rishi Kapoor. But maybe now it is time that we think less about the western trends and concentrate on ‘Make in India’ - Nirmal Singh Lotus Green

We have endless access to global movies, cinema and television. We do not have to switch on the television for that; we have everything right in our ‘smartphones’. And when we decide to watch the movies, songs and previews of the upcoming movies, all we can see are the designer brands, foreign locations and our very own Deepikas and Kareenas drenched from head to toe in the western culture. Why is this? Is it necessary? Are we really that insecure about our own culture and heritage that we cannot show that on reel? Or are we too scared to paint a false picture of India?

According to the reviews of Nirmal Singh Lotus Green, the five most successful movies of the year so far were shot and made in India: Raees, Badrinath ki Dulhaniya, Jolly LLB, Hindi Medium, and of course, the magnum opus, Baahubali – The Conclusion. These movies should be the trend setters but for some reason, directors and film makers still think that shooting movies domestically or working on scripts that are ‘Indian’ is a risk not worth taking.

Nirmal Singh Lotus Green says that the movies and stories they are shooting in Europe with Indian actors wouldn’t be believable if they were shot here in India. The movies that were shot in India and were way too close to reality and made people uncomfortable stirred a lot of controversy.

Gulshan Grover finally reveals about how he shot the romantic scenes of Boom with Katrina Kaif. While the latter has a great career going right now, she sure didn’t have a great one in the beginning. Her debut film, Boom, which starred Amitabh Bachchan and Gulshan Grover, was a huge failure at the box office. But it’s remembered for the intimate scenes between Gulshan Grover and Katrina Kaif. According to sources at Nirmal Singh Lotus Green , Gulshan shared some anecdotes while shooting the romantic scene with the actress. Sources revealed that Gulshan said that the scenes between Katrina and him would get really awkward with Amitabh Bachchan would also be in the frame. Gulshan wanted to get the scene right so he and Katrina practiced it many times before they gave the shot." Any intimate shot that is done in front of audience or with someone in the frame really gets a little tough for the audience. They need to build in the similar kind of ambience for the scene, but do

Failing Economy Forcing 70% Of Indian Farmers To Spend More Than They Earn

Nirmal Singh Lotus Green recently wrote an article in which he highlighted how 70% of more than 90 million farming families are spending way more than they actually earn in a month. Debt is one of the primary reasons of more than half of all suicides around the country if the recent studies and research are to be believed. Since 2012, the number of loans that farmers have taken to invest in their farming lands has come down to half and during the same period, additional loans to meet financial and health issues by the farmers have doubled. 65 million farmers who have land holdings of one hectare are spending more than they earn according to the reports of NSSO. And farmers who own more than 10 hectares of land are maintaining a healthy surplus every month. The condition down south is the worst – states like Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have the highest debt numbers - 93%, and 82% respectively. Among the reasons for farmer suicides in India, indebtedness is pr
