Bishnupriya Manipuri Films: A new direction to the society

VIEWS

By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi

Cinema is the finest form of creativity and art. Fortunate are those who are blessed with this potential and have been in the profession of filmmaking. It is praiseworthy who had acted and had been the part of the Bishnupriya Manipuri films. The Producers, directors, actors, singers, and crewmembers are worthy of appreciation for their endeavor. These movies have sown the seeds for the future movies that will be on the community.

Somewhere these movies, be it is the recently released Paritraan or Kalling have inspired the upcoming directors and producers to make films on Bishnupriya Manipuri community. Definitely, the new crop of directors and producers will be highlighting the different aspect of the community in their ingenious way.

What would be the possible stories that these to-be directors would be touching? Will it be sensitizing an issue of the community, what Kalling has done? Like Paritraan, will they be presenting the changing social ethos in our villages in the movies? One cannot predict, what would be the storyline of the next movie will be? One thing is sure that they will be taking the Bishnupriya Manipuri movie to a new height, what today it is missing.

Some might have reservation to praise these movies. Reasons might be many and valid. These movies have failed because one benchmarks it with Bollywood or Hollywood movies. If one isolate oneself, and for a moment keep himself away from the influence of movies made outside, one will definitely praise these movies. At least the critics will praise the creative juice the directors and crewmembers have poured in these movies.

Today is Lamboishing (Sunday)

What next?

By Ranita Sinha, Kolkata Sri Sri Bhubaneshwar Thakur, the great saint of the Bishnupriya Manipuri Community was born on 26th October, 1871, in a remote village of Cachar district called Baropua in the state of Assam.

The 'Star' Krishankant Sinha of Space City Sigma

By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi It is a myth that the all-knowing Internet knows everything. One such myth relates to old television stuff aired on Doordarshan before 1990. Search in Google “Space City Sigma”, the search engine would throw up reminiscent results from the people who still long for those days. Those days were really golden days. Krishankant Sinha in the role of Captain Tara in Space City Singma For those who have watched Doordarshan some 15 to 20 years back, am sure they will have nostalgic memories of it. The days when possessing a now ubiquitous looking television set was a luxury. It was a neighbour’s envy product. It was a visual product to showoff, to flaunt that we have a television set . Those were the days when black and white, locked television was rarely found in homes. The days became immortal for teleserials like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Swami’s Malgudi Days (Ta-Na-Na-Na…), Ek-Do-Teen-Char (Title song: Ek do teen char, chaaro mil ke saath chale to ...
