4 . the method of forming a clear rubber hydrochloride film which comprises casting ' on a surface a cement of a rubber hydrochloride in a low boiling solvent and thereafter evaporating the solvent to produce a rubber hydrochloride film , and conducting the first stage of the evaporation in an enclosure containing asource ofjradiant energy so located as to radiate heat onto the freshly cast film of cement during the rapid evaporation of solvent therefrom and supplying radiant heat to the freshly cast film from said source in sufiicient amount to maintain the exposed surface of the film at such a high temperature as to prevent premature solidification of rubber hydrochloride at said surface , which premature solidification would cause irregularities to be formed in the surface of the film on removal of the balance of the solvent therefrom .

with - no radiator the film could be stripped off in 150 seconds and was cloudy , with the 500 f . radiator the film could be stripped in 30 - 40 seconds and was quite brilliant .

5 . the method of forming clear rubber hydrochloride film which comprises casting on a metal surface a cement of a rubber hydrochloride in a low boiling solvent and thereafter evaporating the solvent to produce a film of the rubber hydrochloride , and supplying heat to said metal surface in such a manner and in an amount sufficient to maintain the exposed surface of the freshly cast film at a sufiiciently high temperature during the rapid evaporation of solvent therefrom to prevent premature solidification of the rubber hydrochloride therein , which premature solidification would cause irregularities to be formed in the surface of the film on removal of the balance of the solvent therefrom .

jezebel ( 1938 ) is a romantic melodrama with views of early 1850s new orleans ante - bellum society . it was the first in a cycle of films with dixie backdrops that studied southern chivalry and honor . the role of the title character was offered as compensation to film star bette davis - her first major film role - when she lost the opportunity to play scarlett o ' hara in gone with the wind ( 1939 ) , a characterization with a similar heroine . in fact , the film has been called a black - and - white version of the famous selznick film that was in its pre - production stages .

while several safe , affordable and user - friendly cameras were made in both europe and in the united states , eastman kodak ' s 1923 invention of the cine - kodak trumped the competition . the cine - koda used new , 16mm acetate safety film , which underwent a process of direct film reversal . during this process , exposed film is developed to a negative image , after which the image is bleached out , leaving unconverted silver grains . the film is then exposed and developed again , so that the unconverted silver grains reveal a positive image . this method shortens the developing process by one step , ultimately saving the user time and money . it was also discovered that through this process the grain size of a finished positive was finer than that produced from a " conventionally developed " negative , allowing for the overall size of an image to be clearly and accurately reduced . eastman kodak ' s final product was a 16mm wide film strip perforated on both sides with a 10mm x 7 . 5mm image moving at 40 frames per foot . the film was not only less than half the width of conventional 35mm film , but also 1 / 6th the cost .

this documentary film , shot while on holiday on the outer hebrides , is believed to be the first film that they made . note the fishwives bandaging their fingers to protect them for the work of gutting the fish . the strips of linen were used to protect the fingers against cuts from the sharp gutting knives . any cut , however small , would be excruciatingly painful if exposed to the brine in the fish troughs . people on the remote island of harris would not at all have been accustomed to film cameras at this time , and one inhabitant is seen very deliberately turning away from the lens .

but , he added , there are only a few courageous individuals in every society who embody the spirit of freedom . as an american example , the filmmaker cited whistleblower edward snowden , who exposed thousands of secret u . s . government documents .

2 . the method of producing metal printing cuts directly from a photographic negative which comprises exposing a sensitized photographic film through a half - tone screen , in chemically processing the film on its base until the openings between the high - light and shadow dots formed by the screen extend to the surface of the base , in casting or otherwise depositing a film of metal directly upon the film until it reaches the common surface of the base , and in stripping the metal film from the matrix to form a printing cut in which all of the printing surfaces are in a common plane as determined by the base .

according to this invention prematur solidification of the rubber hydrochloride at the surface of film produced from cements containing low boiling solvents is prevented whether the solidification be due to the gelling of cements , such as benzene cements , or the skinning over of other cements , such as chloroform cements . this is o done by maintaining the exposed surface of the film above the temperature at which solidification ( either gelling or skinning over ) takes place during theinitial stage of evaporation of solvent . raising the temperature of the surface accel - 45 erates the votalization of solvent , which is desirable as it reduces the time required for preparation of the ultimate film .

although safe , easy - to - use cameras became more available , they had not become more affordable . in 1932 , kodak ' s most basic model , the m 475 , cost $ 75 - - an amount equal to two weeks wages for hourly laborers . similarly , the cheapest projector cost $ 60 and a 100 - foot roll of film , $ 6 . to address the rising concerns with cost as the great depression loomed , eastman kodak introduced 8mm film in 1932 . this film came on 25 ' spools of 16mm , with two sides of 8mm film , or " double 8 . " after being threaded through the camera and exposed on one half , the film was then turned over and re - threaded to expose the other . during processing , this double width would be split down the middle and spliced together to make a 50 - foot reel of 8mm film perforated only on one side . since the 8mm was a quarter of the size of 16mm , it reduced the amount of film necessary to achieve the same running time as 16mm and the cost of processing by a factor of four . the cine - kodak eight model 20 cost $ 29 . 50 , the projector , $ 22 . 50 and a spool of film , $ 2 . 50 .

in preparing films of rubber hydrochloride by casting cements of rubber hydrochloride in low boiling solvent and evaporating the solvents it was observed that the films obtained were somewhat cloudy or opalescent . this cloudiness or opalescence was found to be due to minute irregularities in the exposed surface of the film , i . e . , the surface contiguous to the air space into which the solvent vapors passed on evaporation .

1 . the process of molding printing cuts directly upon a negative photographic matrix which comprises , exposing a sensitized film carried upon a supporting base through a half - tone screen , in photographically processing the sensitized film until the openings between the high - light and shadow portions formed by the screen extend to the surface of the film supporting base , in depositing a metal coating which extends to the surface of the plate through the openings in the film , in producing printing surfaces extending through the film to the base which have the same height , and in removing the metal coating in which the dots forming the printing surface are all in the same plane . s

my preferred version of “a christmas carol” is the superb metro - goldwyn - mayer film from 1938 , starring actor reginald owen as the crotchety old miser , ebenezer scrooge . did i say “preferred” ? sorry , what i actually meant is that this is the only version worth watching . ever . i have never liked the 1951 movie with alastair sim . if it’s your favourite ? well… okay . i guess there’s no accounting for some people’s lack of taste . ; p no , but honestly , i don’t like it . i found his over - acting to be terribly obnoxious and i also didn’t enjoy the choice of scenes when compared to the 1938 version . as i said , the original story turned out to be longer than i ever realized from watching the films . there’s much more to “a christmas carol” than can be crammed into a single 90 minutes , so each film has to pick and choose which scenes to include and which to leave out . the 1951 film has the bedroom scene , where everyone is snatching up scrooge’s belongings as he lies stiff and cold in his bed . it’s really rather boring . it’s missing from mgm’s film , where they focused on scenes that give the film a very different , much less dreary feeling .

2 ) process this negative plate to swell , harden and raise the exposed dots , thus forming a negative mold in which openings extend between the dots to the uniform surface of the backing glass or plate , thus producing a matrix for the formation of the dots for printing .

as an alternative after the hypo bath the film is placed in wash water but the tank in which it in this systemthere is less .

in my opinion , what makes this film better than any other is the focus on love . when you strip it down to bare bones , dickens’s tale is one of love for your fellow man , forgiveness and redemption . and mgm in 1938 , moreso than any other , cherry - picked the best portions of “a christmas carol” to illustrate this message with the greatest impact . and the way they adapted dickens’s words into the script is remarkable .

3 . that step in the formation of clear rubber hydrochloride film from a gel - forming cement of a rubber hydrochloride in a low boiling solvent , which step comprises supplying to a freshly cast film of the cement during the rapid evaporation of solvent therefrom and while the cement is supported on a film - forming surface , heat in an amount sufficient to prevent premature gelation of rubber hydrochloride at or near the surfaceof the film from which the solvent is being evaporated , which premature gelation would result in the formation of minute irregularities in ' said surface on subsequent evaporation to dryness .

the evaporation of solvent may advantageously take place in two stages , a first stage 5 in which the cement is supported by some suitable surface such as a belt , and a second stage after sufficient solvent has been evaporated to form a film which will support its own weight . inthis second stage the film is removed from 55 the support which carries it through the first will cool the surface of the cement film to the temperature at which solidification occurs unless the surface of the film is heated to a temperature suffioient to prevent such solidification . any : suitable means for maintaining the required temperature may be employed . 4

each of the crises over austria and czechoslovakia had a crucial effect on nazi anti - jewish policy and paved the way for the third major crisis of 1938 : " crystal night " . though foreign policy and the persecution of the jews are usually treated separately in the literature - hermann graml ' s antisemitism in the third reich ( 1992 ) and saul friedländer ' s nazi germany and the jews : the years of persecution ( phoenix , 1997 ) have to stand proxy for a vast literature on the latter - it is important to recognise the connections . these emerge plainly in the events surrounding the nationwide pogrom of the night of november 9 - 10 1938 .

two years earlier . his character should have been the focal point of the screenplay but he’s little more than a supporting player in the first half of the film . the one part of the story that is clever is the way that the mystery actually becomes two simultaneous mysteries in the second half of the film .

charles dickens’s holiday masterpiece was first published on december 19 , 1843 . it’s a beautiful tale of love , kindness and redemption . i’ll admit , it took me a long time to finally read this book . in fact , i picked it up for the very first time only about 5 years ago . like most people , i’ve seen a number of film incarnations , and i was surprised by the length of the original story . not long by dickens’s standards , to be sure ! still , a 90 - minute film can’t illustrate the entire book . but it’s a beautiful narration on life , no matter how you’re exposed to it .

there has been endless debate about the crises of 1938 - germany ' s move on austria , the carve - up of czechoslovakia , and the violence against jews on kristallnacht . what were hitler ' s aims ? did neville chamberlain have any choice at munich ? seventy years later , scholars have finally agreed on some conclusions . by ian kershaw

was chamberlain merely buying time , as he still claimed in 1940 , when he remained adamant he had done the right thing ? what would have happened had britain gone to war over czechoslovakia in the autumn of 1938 ? no military aid from britain or france would have been forthcoming for czechoslovakia . probably hitler ' s forces would have quickly vanquished the czechs ( as war games predicted ) . internal opposition in germany would have come to nothing . a phoney war somewhat similar to 1938 - 39 would have set in a year earlier . true , german forces and defences in autumn 1938 were nowhere near as strong as they were by spring 1940 . but britain ' s forces were at that time proportionally still weaker . given the pressure to act , the weakness of his adversaries , and his own temperament , hitler would probably have invaded france in 1939 , which would have necessitated some ( temporary ) deal in the east with the poles or the russians . the french may well have caved in as they did in 1940 .

, a screwball mystery featuring glenda farrell and otto kruger as the detective couple . unfortunately , the screenplay gives the couple’s relationship no time to develop , and the mystery gets short shrift until the very last part of the film . based on an unpublished story by george l . bilson called “candid camera girl , ” it’s an odd little film that doesn’t seem to have a narrative center . ostensibly the film is built around farrell’s character , a wisecracking magazine photographer reminiscent of the reporter she played in

the invention and development of motion pictures in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was rapidly followed by considerations of its potential as a consumer product in home entertainment . however , problems with size , price and safety meant that in order for movies to be a marketable commodity , certain adjustments needed to be made . at the time , standard film was 35mm wide and nitrate - based , requiring large equipment and expensive processing . it was also highly flammable . because of this , efforts were focused on reducing the size of both film and film equipment , as well as on developing a non - nitrate " safety " film which would eliminate the possible risk of fire in the home .

film critic dennis schwartz explains why the film is considered a film noir : " the poignancy of the story is in how an innocent , hard - working person like mike , could have his whole life turned upside - down over an incident where he makes an error in judgment . when he tells his boss ( lummis ) about it , he has no explanation why he didn ' t report it immediately except he couldn ' t understand how so much money was missing . this slip - up is why mike becomes a

i’m not familiar with the george c . scott film , but i’ll certainly have to check it out this year as you’ve recommended it to me a number of times before .

in 1965 , eastman kodak released its new line of super 8 film and kodak instamatic movie cameras . the cameras featured 50 - feet of drop - load kodachrome ii super 8 film housed in a black plastic cartridge known as a " kodapack . " this cartridge was extremely easy to load , as the film no longer had to be threaded in the camera or flipped . each super 8 camera also had a built - in filter allowing " type - a " ( tungsten ) film to be used in different kinds of light , eliminating the need for both " daylight " and " type - a " film forms . notches on the front edge of the film cartridge would automatically indicate whether the filter was needed . these notches also indicated the speed of the film . the cameras themselves had a die - cast metal body and were operated by a battery - powered motor , which replaced the need for a hand - crank . kodak ' s different models - - the m2 , m4 and m6 - - had different lenses , with the top - of - the - line model including a 12 to 36mm zoom lens and reflex through - the - lens viewing . the models were priced at $ 46 . 50 , $ 69 . 50 and $ 174 . 50 , respectively . while bell & howell offered competing super 8 models , kodaks were unquestionably the most popular .

but there are many other newspapers covering the story , and with kruger is back in the district attorney’s office the truth is bound to come out . what farrell doesn’t put together is the fact that , if the wrong man was executed for murder , then the real murderer must still be out there and could also have something to do with the daughter’s death as well . director harold schuster began his career in the sound era as a film editor , and this was only his sixth film and his second for universal . frankly , his style is not very good . he uses very few close ups , but almost all of the film is two shots and full frame exteriors that are reminiscent of poverty row productions . glenda farrell and otto kruger are tremendous actors and if there is any value in the film at all in this film it is because of them . herbert mundin does fine for what he’s given , but it’s nothing that any good character actor could have done . the rest of the cast is decidedly sub - par , and the screenplay doesn’t help . the mystery and the romance should both have been amped up and made the driving force of the film . as it is ,

if you’ve never seen this film , please , please find a copy and watch it this year . i promise you won’t be disappointed . and the dvd is only $ 5 from amazon ! it’s even available on blu - ray now . it’s an old film , but the quality is amazing and the content is superb . even the special effects with bob marley’s ghost are nothing to sneeze at !

the ease , accessibility and affordability of super 8 made it an ideal technology for home movie makers . but super 8 would also become indispensable for scientists and anthropologists . the addition of magnetic sound stripping to super 8 film stock in 1973 would help solidify its role as an easily transportable and complete tool for use in capturing a " permanent " film record of the world ' s many different cultures .

in fig . 1 , electrically heated units , 6 , are shown for supplying the required heat by radiation . units with a blackened surface are suitable for the purpose . they are preferably located as close to the surface of the film as possible , in order to take . advantage of heat conduction as well as radiation . the units nearest the knife 4 , which are the units above the freshly cast film are hotter than the rest of the units . the temperature to which the surface of these units is to be heated will depend upon their area , their distance from the film , etc .

the temperatures given are as accurate as the measuring means permitted . the above temperatures at least approximate those to be maintained whether radiant heat alone is employed or whether all of the heat is supplied through the belt . the minimum permissible temperature may vary somewhat depending upon the concentration of the cement , degree of reaction of the rubber hydrochloride , the temperature of the inlet and exit gas and vapors , the solvent employed , etc . the proper temperature for any particular set of conditions is readily obtainable by experimentation , once it is appreciated that clear film may be produced if premature solidification of the exposed surface is prevented .

kodak ' s prime competitor , bell & howell , released their own 8mm camera in 1935 , the filmo straight eight , which sold for $ 69 . unlike kodak ' s model , bell & howell used pre - split 8mm film to produce an even more compact , lightweight camera . in 1938 , the universal camera corporation put out an incredibly inexpensive single 8mm camera for only $ 9 . 95 , with a companion projector for $ 14 . 95 . the overall reduction of size and cost , and increased accessibility made 8mm the favorite format for hobby amateur filmmaking , a format that would remain essentially untouched for nearly 30 years .

before 1938 there was no incompatibility between hitler ' s long - term goals and the interests of the military ( and other sections of the power elite ) in the build - up of german armed force , renewed national strength and standing , and the profits to be made from an expanding armaments industry . but , as would become ever more apparent from 1938 onwards , hitler was not just following traditional lines of german policy . taylor ' s characteristic throwaway line that " in international affairs there was nothing wrong with hitler except that he was a german " ( leaving aside the fact that he was actually austrian ) is misleading . hitler could indeed build on expansionist traditions in the german power elite . but his increasingly unassailable leadership position and his racial obsessions distorted those traditions , then took policy into uncharted territory as the war progressed - producing ultimately the moral and physical ruination of his country .

i agree that mgm mounted an amazingly good adaptation in 1938 . the only other version that i’m truly fond of , in fact , is the 1984 one with george c . scott . it’s very faithful to the book , and scott did an impressive job bringing scrooge to life without overplaying him ( as many less talented actors are apt to do ) . the ’38 one is a nice , economical version of the tale , but it feels rich . it hits all the most important aspects of the story , and as you point out , it’s so perfectly cast . with so many legendary actors , and such marvelous photography and direction , this film is the golden age of hollywood in a nutshell .

solidification should preferably commence about ten ' feet from the knife 4 and at this point the temperature of the cement under the surface of the film may preferably be about 120 f .

looking back at 1938 , we see " old europe " approaching its end , before war enveloped it and before the entry on to the scene of the superpowers that would determine the ruined continent ' s postwar destiny . it is not a pretty sight - a europe of bitterly competing nations , riven by the age - old clashes for dominance , now taking place in an era of hyper - nationalism with its attendant imperialist ambitions , buttressed by the technologies of total war and mass death .

even though i can be found blubbering before the opening credits have even finished , it’s this church scene that is truly the most magical part of the film . the shot shifts from fred and bess to bob cratchit and tiny tim .

the german takeover in austria left czechoslovakia completely exposed . and it was even more important than austria as far as german expansionist aims were concerned . but german aggression was fraught with danger . since france was treaty - bound to back czechoslovakia in the event of aggression , and britain was allied with france , a german attack ran the high risk of european war . the soviet union , too , had treaty obligations with the czechs and had indicated its willingness to help the french .

thanks so much , boss ! your initial reaction to the post ( and subsequent reaction to the final draft ) was priceless . made it all worthwhile . you of all people know how much i love this film , not just for christmas , but as a film in general . it’s not as well known as i’d like it to be ( and as it should be ) so i felt like it was high time that i gave it the ol’ seeker of truth treatment .

for many people , i think the christmas spirits are the heart and soul of “a christmas carol” . but not for me . my favourite thing about this film is how much time they devote to the very much in love couple , fred and bess .

telugu action star gopichand is on cloud nine ever since his okkadunnadu , a film about a rare blood group , got an encouraging opening and impressed the city crowd .

worst review , best movie i ' ve seen in the last 10 months . fullhyd seems to uplift films like dor , but fails to recognise good and catchy themes like okkadunnadu . okkadunnadu is a brilliant attempt by our telugu director and thoroughly engrossing fare , it was . he ' s for sure the ace director in tollywood now .

i am not sure whether the hollywood guys have seen our movies while writing the plot but here is a movie which is very similar to a telugu movie called okkadunnadu .

okkadunnadu is a telugu movie , directed by chandrashekhar yelet , starring gopichand , neha julka along with others . here , on the movie page , you will find every thing that you need to know . get the up - to - date news updates of okkadunnadu , as it happens . check out what others are saying about the movie on twitter .

from one of the most underrated directors of south india , chandrashekar yeleti , came one of the most underrated movies , okkadunnadu . the novelty of the concept of “okkadunnadu” failed to reach the audience as it was supposed to . the movie revolves around protagonist with a rare blood group and the ironically , the movie is one of those rare attempts where all the usual norms of indian thrillers were broken . till date , the movie is not even well appreciated even among telugu audience . “okkadunnadu” is a rare cinematic experience and deserves to be watched and recognized .

don’t you think there is void in okkadunnadu due to lack of contribution from gangaraju in the writing department ? it is a tricky question . yes . i would have had more creative discussions with him . he would have suggested me better scenes .

people are commenting that music of the film is not up to the standard of keeravani . what do you say ? i feel that okkadunnadu music is appealing . i personally liked adugadugu and i say enjoy songs . the masses are liking ‘obbo veedento’ song .

chandrasekhar yeleti seems to be out to prove a point , namely that he too is capable of making a standard masala movie . the question that pops to mind is , " why ? " that being said , okkadunnadu works pretty well as a run - of - the - mill flick . thanks to yeleti , . . . .

five minutes into okkadunnadu , the villain makes his mark ( literally ) by trying to pull off a henchman ' s ear . literally tear it off , in the manner in which one tears off a leg from the rest of the chicken in your biryani . this somewhat funny yet ominous scene should give you an inkling of how the rest of the movie will shape up .

okkadunnadu , undoubtedly my all time favorite telugu film , i ' ve seen this film twice in the theater , on the same day and countless number of times on tv and youtube . gopichand is fantastic in the film , his histrionics , body language and performance were of top notch . he excelled in the action episodes . okkadunnadu is not a regular commercial telugu film , entertainment levels are less , but still bramhanandam & giribabu were hilarious at times . the movie sticks to the point and never deviates , the story becomes clear once the actual thread is revealed . there is a reason behind every move that gopichand makes . the dialog ' s made lot of sense specially when mahesh manjrekar says " nee gunde dhairyam chavali kaani nee gunde bathakali " clearly reveals the intentions of the villain , and that ' s what makes gopichand invincible . chandrasekhar yeleti , who earlier gave aithe & anukokunda oka roju , now comes with another different concept . the direction and the screenplay were great . his direction specially for the ruthless action scenes was awesome . i loved this film to the core , a perfect 10 / 10 . thanks to chandrasekhar yeleti , thanks for being in tollywood , thanks for making okkadunnadu . . . kudos ! !

what is the feedback you are getting about this film ? i got appreciation from film industry a lot for the film anukokunda oka roju but not many phone calls from the public . i did not get any appreciation from film industry for okkadunnadu , but getting good response from the public and they seem to be liking it . i did not make this film for critical acclaim . i wanted producer to make money .

saturday , march 03 , 2007 a complete action film sans the entertainment though the telugu film makers always fall short of good stories , creative directors like chandrasekhar yeleti were able to present a little different from routine subjects and his films like aithe and anukokunda oka roju prove this statement . he prepared a tailor made story for gopichand who had earned a mass image with films like ranam and yagnam . cherry , who had worked as executive producer for some films , has produced through this film . the story had a good action backdrop and a major part of the film was shot in mumbai .

gauthami ( neha jhulka ) is a real estate agent in mumbai . she brokers deals with the buyers and sellers and gets paid commissionwise . she arranges a deal between gowri shankar ( suman ) of sri venkateswara bank , hyderabad , and a seth ( raghubabu ) in mumbai , for the sale of a guest house in mumbai . as per the agreement , there is three months time for registration . however , gowri shankar ' s son kiran ( gopichand ) comes to mumbai and demands the money immediately . though gauthami tries very hard to convince kiran that it may not be possible to complete the deal early , the latter did not listen and want to complete the deal saying that he needed urgently needed money .

on the other hand , there is a mafia don called sonu bhai ( mahesh manjrekar ) , who needs an urgent heart transplantation and looks for a person who has a typical blood group called mumbai group . despite several efforts , the entire mafia gang was not able to get a person with that rare blood group . incidentally , kiran has the same blood group and the goons catch him . however , kiran escapes as he was alerted by the nephew of sonu bhai ( rahul dev ) , who eyed his property . from then on the chase begins between kiran , gauthami and sonu bhai ' s men . in fact , kiran ' s father gowrishankar who started a private bank suffers losses .

the customers attack the bank on learning about the losses demanding the return of their deposits . in order to recoup from it , he needs urgent deposits from other banks to safeguard the interests of the customers . kiran and gowrishankar approach a finance secretary janakiram ( tanikella bharani ) in the central government who could influence the rbi and he demands rs 4 crore as bribe . so kiran reaches mumbai to collect the sale proceeds which could be given to him . now , sonu bhai ' s friend jayadev ( nazar ) calls up chandrasekhar and promises rs 200 crore deposit . following a call from his father kiran meets jayadev and sonubhai , who agree to deposit the money but in return wanted kiran ' s heart . after a lot of mental struggle , kiran decides to take away the money as sonubhai is threatening the seth against buying his guest house . finally , kiran goes to sonubhai ' s hotel and takes away rs 100 crore by thrashing all his goons . he also destroys the lifesaving machine arranged to sonubhai . the film ends with the death of sonubhai and jayadev ' s suicide as he could not stop kiran .

plus points the macho man physique of gopichand , his ease in action scenes and histrionics are the major plus point of the film . the choreography of action scenes is another highlight . cinematography by jayakrishna especially in action scenes and the use of digital intermediate technology in action scenes and in a couple of songs was also appealing .

minus points though the villain is said to be a big mafia don who threatens the entire mumbai was portrayed as a puppet . there are several loopholes in the characterization of the villain . an ordinary man thrashing the men of a mafia don and taking away of rs 100 crore looks like a joke . in an attempt to elevate the hero ' s image , the director let down the villain ' s role in the film . despite a gripping screenplay , the poor portrayal of the villain spoiled the entire film . music by keeravani is just okay . but for the gopichand ' s solo song shot abroad , no other song is worth watching . the heroine ' s role was also downplayed . there was no scope either for performance nor a good choreography in songs to highlight her glamour .

final remarks : when compared with the earlier films of chandrasekhar yeleti , this film looked a little poor as he looked compromised in certain scenes to boost the image of the hero . the director tried to rewrite the medical science by creating a rare blood group . lack of comedy is another major minus in the film . there is absolutely no comedy track and the 5 - minute comedy bit involving giribabu , brahmanandam is not appealing . it is not known why the director had kept a brother to the heroine and the scene could be totally avoided . it is just an okay film for those who like action films . the film might run well in b , c centres because of its mass appeal with good action scenes . can be recommended to watch once only if you are interested in action films .

cast : gopichand , neha jhulka , mahesh manjrekar , nazar , giribabu , suman , raghubabu , rahul dev , tanikella bharani , brahmanandam , hema , rupa and others .

credits : dialogues - siva cinematography - jayakrishna gummadi music - keeravani editing - mohan - ramarao producer - chiranjeevi ( cherry ) story , screenplay and direction - chandrasekhar yeleti .

gopichand had earned himself a mass image with films like ' yagnam and ranam ' . chandrasekhar yeleti , whose earlier films ' aithe and anukokunda oka roju ' have a tint of difference , came up with a good script , which fits gopichand to the ` t ' .

cherry who worked as executive producer , ventures into production with this film . the backdrop of the film is perfect for action , and a major part of the film was shot in mumbai .

gautami ( neha jhulka ) is a real estate agent in mumbai , helps gowri shankar ( suman ) of hyderabad to sell his guest house in mumbai . as per the agreement there is three months time for registration . however , gowri shankar ' s son kiran ( gopichand ) calls on gautami and demands the money . gautami tries hard to convince kiran , but the latter wants to finalize the deal saying he is in a mess and urgently needed money .

on the other hand , there is a mafia don called sona bhai ( mahesh manjrekar ) , who needs urgent heart transplant and is looking for a person who has a typical blood group called mumbai group . incidentally , kiran is a match and the goons chase him .

however , kiran escapes thanks to the nephew of sonu bhai ( rahul dev ) , who is eyeing his uncle ' s property . from then on the audiences are trated to the sights and sounds of mumbai , with the chase sequences between kiran , gautami and sonu bhai ' s men .

kiran reveals to gautami that his father started a private bank and filed bankruptcy . in a bid to save his self - respect , he needs urgent deposits from other banks to safeguard the interests of customers . they approach finance secretary janakiram ( tanikella bharani ) who could influence the rbi , but the latter demands rs 4 crores as bribe .

at this juncture , sonu bhai ' s friend jayadev ( nazar ) calls up chandrasekhar and promises rs 200 crore deposit in his bank . following a call from his father kiran meets jayadev and sonu bhai , who agree to deposit the money but in return demand kiran ' s heart . kiran falls in the classic dilemma of his life or his father ' s self - respect .

gopichand with his histrionics and action timing is the highlight of the film . the action scenes by allan ameen and ram laxman , keep the audience on the edge of their seats . cinematography by jayakrishna and the use of digital intermediate technology in action sequences and a couple of songs was quite appealing .

chandrasekhar yeleti , a champion of gripping screenplay passes yet again with flying colours . music by keeravani is okay . lack of a separate comedy track can have a negative effect on the film . the director was able to carry the whole film on action and was able to cater to the masses .

credits : dialogues - siva , cinematography - jayakrishna gummadi , editing - mohan - ramarao , music - keeravani , producer - chiranjeevi ( cherry ) , story , screenplay and direction - chandrasekhar yeleti .

there are few young directors in tollywood who have created their own brand with just two films . chandrasekhar yeleti has created his signature style with his earlier films

. unlike them , his third offering is more of a commercial film though he has chosen a rather different subject hitherto unexplored element of a villain hunting for a guy who has ' bombay blood group ' . based on this theme , the director has a perfect hero in gopichand as the man fighting for vengeance .

is a regular commercial film but shot in eye - catching manner with superb visuals and adrenalin pumping action sequences . in fact , the film largely focuses on these elements , thereby loosing the grip on the content especially in the second half . but the film presents hero gopichand as a new poster boy .

a bankrupted bank owner ' s son kiran ( gopichand ) comes to mumbai to sell off their house . he approaches a real estate agent gowthami ( neha julka ) to clinch the deal . while he is on that deal , mumbai mafia don sonabhai ( mahesh manjrekar ) learns that kiran has what he is looking for - a heart with the rare blood group , bombay blood group .

sonabhai has the same group and he suffers from cardiac problem and has to undergo heart transplantation urgently . sonabhai wants kiran ' s heart by hook or crook . now it is our hero ' s mission to survive himself and also get money as quickly as possible . how would he achieve this forms rest of the film !

the first half is racy and holds the interest with some amazing action scenes . but soon it peters out to an ordinary commercial potboiler as there is not much substance . even the climax is abrupt . lack of entertainment and romance between the lead pair does not go well with the common audiences .

the film is perfect vehicle for gopichand to get new image . he does it with ? lan as he looks so urbane in chic dresses and excels in the action sequences . newcomer neha julka is okay . mahesh manjrekar is the real scene stealer . he looks awesome in the villain role . nazar plays villain ' s aide while brhamanandam ' s comedy is a saving grace .

is brilliant with gummadi jayakrishn ' a excellent photography , and editing is slick . mm keeravani ' s music is not great but he scores in re - recording . in a nutshell , the film is an average flick which caters to urban audiences .

story gautami ( neha julka ) is a real estate agent in mumbai . kiran ( gopichand ) owns a property in mumbai and sells it through gautami . he needs money for an urgent purpose and asks gautami to help him out in getting the money soon instead of the agreed time of six months . sona bhai ( mahesh manjrekar ) is an influential mafia don in mumbai who needs an urgent heart transplantation . his blood group ( bombay blood group ) is rare as very few people in india belong to the same blood group . as sona bhai runs out of options , his men desperately search for a healthy man from whom the can get heart for their boss . apparantly kiran also belongs to the same blood group . and the rest of the story is all about the tussle between kiran and sona bhai .

gopichand : kiran role in this film adds a new addition to gopichand‘s arsenal . he changed his dialogue delivery and body language to suit the role of a city - based guy , brought up in sophisticated environment . he looks extremely flexible and comfortable in lethal action sequences .

others : neha julka is adequate as female lead . she looks more beautiful without a bindi ( bottu ) . mahesh manjrekar is good as mafia man suffering from health problems . nassar played a vital role of villain’s close associate . rahul dev is extremely good in a different character . giri babu plays heroine’s father . the comedy bit by brahmanandam in second half deserves special mention .

story - screenplay - direction : story of the film is different . though the storyline is very thin , director chandra sekhar yeleti made sure that there is enough logic behind every move hero makes . he also created the screenplay in such a way that hero has a strong reason behind staying in mumbai though hounded by the villain’s gang . at the same time , goons can’t be ruthless on hero as they want him alive and healthy . that gives hero the power of invincibility . chandra sekhar canned action sequences extremely well , but the romance thread between the lead pair is under developed . one unappealing thing about the narration of the film is that the subject is too serious and the director did not try to mix some humor in narration of the film the way he did for his earlier two films .

other departments : cinematography by jaya krishna gummadi is neat . we definitely expect better music from keeravani for this film . the songs shot in dubai by krishna vamsi offer some relief . dialogues by koratala siva are good . there are some intelligent dialogues in second half like ‘nee gunde dhairyam chavali . kaani gunde bagundali’ . artwork by ravindar is realistic ( especially heroine’s house set by the bay ) . fights composed by allen amin , ram lakshman & vijay are first rate . production values by clap entertainment are good .

analysis : first half of the film is neat and it lays very good foundation for the battle between the hero and the villain . second half is filled with series of action sequences which makes it redundant . the way gopichand takes 4 crores from villain is good ( it’s more of psychological than physical ) . the climax of the film appears little abrupt . the plus points of the film are taking of chandra sekhar yeleti and action sequences . the main draw back of the film is lack of relieving entertainment . chandra sekhar made sure in his earlier films ( aithe and aor ) that however serious the subject is , the narration is in lighter vein with nice humor . that humor is missing in this film . violence is excessive . the fate of the film depends on how family crowds take it .

forrest gump is a 1994 oscar winning movie that changed the hollywood films in lot of ways .

filmmakers from other countries are being inspired from our country regarding the art . but we are not able to represent it on screen well . seeing a poster of ' uttama villain ' , some people said i copied it from a french poster . it is our makeup and they copied it from us . no one understands it .

some people say i copy from hollywood films . actually , they are copying a lot from us . oscar winning film , ' forrest gump ' was inspired a lot from our ' swathi mutyam ' . there are many other hollywood films , which were inspired from our films . "

) was a 1986 telugu film written and directed by k . viswanath . the film stars kamal haasan and raadhika in the lead roles . the movie won accolades at asia pacific film festival in both " best film " and " best actor " categories . the movie is about an autistic person who defies existing social customs and traditions for a good cause . the film was sent by india as its official entry for the best foreign language film for the academy awards in 1986 , but was not nominated .

" roku has just about every app you can imagine ( youtube , pandora , netflix , amazon , hulu , hbo now ) . "

bollywood and hollywood are two lowly terms for the global idea of cinema . but one very vital example of an english film borrowing material from indian cinema is this . . .

v shantaram ' s classics were among the first indian films to make an impact abroad .

both the films are masterpieces in their own ways . the english film came 10 years after the hindi one . both are humane tales of leadership , and moral evolution .

another example , though not hollywood and bollywood , is an english film loosely based on a bengali film . satyajit ray ' s ( the greatest auteur of indian cinema ) ' charulata ' was remade into ' forty shades of blue ' .

avatar from malayalam film vietnam colony . remember vietnam colony released in 1992 and james cameroon said that the avatar script was ready in 1995 and he also said that avatar had many inspirations from india including the title .

mohanlal and innocent are appointed by a real estate company to a notorious colony called vietnam colony as this colony has high real estate values .

: sam worthington is appointed by the rda corporation to go to pandora as the place has a valuable mineral called unobtanium .

: mohanlal disguises himself as a writer and becomes a member of the colony .

: mohanlal falls in love with the heroine ( kanaka ) who is a resident of vietnam colony .

: while sam was trying to cheat the pandora residents , he understands that the company is doing injustice and tries to help the residents .

: mohanlal finally joins hands with the colony residents and fights against his company .

finally through some research based on the comments - i have realized that this could just be a universal theme coincidence . thank you guys . it was fun though

and both the movies are directed by telugu movie director s . v . krishna reddy

, thinker , reader , iitian , coder , writer , salsa dancer and a pretty good bluff . . .

which gained huge popularity . this was later planned to be made into a movie

which was to be directed by himself and produced by columbia pictures . however this did not materialize ( as could be seen in the link ) .

there are many articles on the internet which give a lot of insight on this . . . one of the articles read :

this may be news to many and surely an interesting one . it is said that it was the master film - maker

who was originally responsible for the ' friendly alien concept ' to be filmed later . he also had a complete outline of a script ready which was based on one of his own short story titled

the famous spielberg movie , “e . t . ” is actually said to be based on the plot penned by the great ray . the outline and the rough script of the idea kept roaming into several production houses in hollywood before it was made as “e . t . ” and there are many detailed stories associated with this . however the fact is not officially accepted .

here the interesting thing is that after many years our own film makers found their inspiration from spielberg ' s “e . t . ” for making their “koi mil gaya” ( 2003 ) talking about a friendly alien .

or just search “satyajit ray & spielberg” and there are numerous references on the web .

when i seen this question , in a fraction of that second i recalled 2 movies . obviously hindi movie and copied by english movie as stated in question .

so first i checked whether anyone has covered it or not . but to my surprise it is not . ( that’s why i got to answer this question . : )

but looking at the plots of both the movies , they are totally same .

a group of people are sent to some strange place as part of their training as agents or something like that ( watched a long back ! ! ) . there when they start to settle , they start being killed one after the another . a great suspense thriller .

the thing to notice is if you think that this is a hero , he would die next . if you think that this is the villain who is doing these murders , he would die next . ( this is not a spoiler ! ! so if you want to watch the movie , go ahead . this information will enhance your experience of suspense . )

the biggest thing hollywood copied from the bollywood is the theme music for the movie mission impossible .

this theme music which we remember as the tom cruise music has been exactly note to note copied from the bollywood movie blackmail .

yes exactly copied all the music - right from the siren at the start to the end music .

but if you care to validate then go to youtube and search for the movie blackmail . come to the climax of the movie where the bad guys are trying to capture the actress ( rakhi ) and the hero is saving her . you will see the same music track of mission impossible

edit : i had no clue regarding the mission impossible television series . sorry . lot of guys have suggested and thus i came to know that the theme music is inspired from the mission impossible television series which was aired from 1966–1973 . the film blackmail ( 1973 ) , clearly has copied this theme from the tv series .

there ' s not a hollywood movie i have heard as completely copied or inspired from an indian movie . it ' s often vice versa . however there ' s this one sequence from kill bill .

it seems tarantino was inspired by the animation sequence in the 2001 tamil film " aalavanthan " ( hindi : abhay ) . the kill bill " o - ren ishii japanese " animation sequence was adapted from that .

apparently tarantino admitted in a private conversation with anurag kashyap that the celebrated animation - action sequence in kill bill was inspired from 2001 tamil film , kamal haasan starrer , aalavanthan .

when contacted , kashyap says , “yes , sight and sound critic naman ramchandran first told me this . so when i met quentin in venice i asked him whether the manga sequence in kill bill was inspired from an indian film and he excitedly remarked , ‘yes , i saw this indian serial - killer film which showed violence as animated . ’”

kashyap explains , “there is only one indian serial - killer film which was made before kill bill where violence was animated , and that was abhay / aalavanthan . ”

kamal haasan , who starred in aalavanthan , has his own take on the compliment . “when i did the animation action sequence 12 years ago it was seen as self - indulgent and odd by a lot of people . now that it has been endorsed by a filmmaker of such brilliance , critics will be kinder to some of the things i attempt in my films . ”

the hollywood movie was heavily critisized for its misleading name as it was based on a love triangle rather than on the incident of pearl harbor itself .

in both the movies , protagonist has a rare blood group type and incidentally meets the villain who has the same blood group type . villain suffers from some disease and needs the blood from the protagonist . so the rest of the movie is whether the villain gets that blood from the protagonist or not !

as per the question and it ' s comments goes , plot is something very basic as i have told in three lines above . the movie can be made in various ways . for example using the same plot above " get the gringo " is made completely different as a crime movie inside a prison . the characterizations of the actors can also vary . in the original the protagonist is a very soft spoken guy who comes to mumbai to sell his plot whereas in gtg , mel gibson is a badass character with lot of negative traits .

i have read the comment on the question which basically says some of the answers are wrong here . i am sorry but the question is so loosely asked . you could have asked what are some of the hollywood movies which are remakes of indian movies rather than asking about the plot being copied !

i don ' t know much about copying or being inspired by the whole plot , but there ' s a telugu movie called ' athadu ' .

in the movie , the protagonist mahesh babu plays the role of an assassin who is hired to injure a politician in such a way that he gains sympathy from people . but someone else kills the politician and he is framed for it .

that part of the movie was taken in a hollywood movie called ' the international ' where a politician in shot in the same way in a meeting in brussels .

i believe hollywood doesn ' t have time ( at least these days ) to watch movies of an entirely different language group , that too indian languages , let alone copy them , as most of them are money spinners lifted or inspired from other foreign movies . i bet most hollywood filmmakers have watched satyajit ray ' s works at best . . . that too ends with the apu trilogy for most among them ! they have more relevant languages with relevant cultural similarities ( such as french , spanish , italian , etc . ) at their disposal , if they are intent on ' copying ' a movie . most indian movies had officially started remaking ( and later copying ) foreign films from the late 60 ' s . prior to that , i don ' t think indian films had that much foreign exposure ( except for satyajit ray ' s works ) . having said that , many instances have been taken inspired , so to speak , from indian movies , but most were limited to ' copying ' certain scenes and loose plots or subplots . but i can only coin et as a copied movie , based on satyajit ray ' s abandoned script , " the alien " . no matter how much spielberg denies the allegations , there are just to many proofs against him . because of that scandal ( and numerous others around that time ) , hollywood has become sly and wealthy enough to remake movies rather than wasting money on court cases and mutual settlements . i am personally looking forward to the english remake of kahaani and rumored remake of munnabhai mbbs as trendsetters for official hollywood remakes of indian movies . that would inspire more script writers and directors to work with original concepts ( and induce confidence among producers to support such projects ) , rather than following a set of ' masala movie ' formulas , just to earn money at the box office . only time will tell what ' s in store for us !

though not ' bollywood ' , there are a few indian films ( which is different from bollywood ) which have been adapted to hollywood & american indie cinema ( which are also quite different entities ) . the most significant example is satyajit ray ' s script of ' the alien ' which was usurped by the same studio to whom he submitted it and was converted into spielberg ' s ' et ' . another example , also of ray , was that of ' charulata ' , that was transformed and adapted to a contemporary american context and made into ' forty shades of blue ' which the director ira sachs has proclaimed is a tribute to the ray film . mira nair is also making a hollywood film based on ' munnabhai ' . there is an entire 15 minute closing scene in the american film ' my family ' which is a shot by shot copy of the last scene of ray ' s ' apur sansar ' ( the world of apu ) .
