An Ode to Indian Cinema!
Bombay Talkies: The first publicly listed Film Studio
Lights, Camera and Action
you worked hours till you attained perfection
Actors, Producers and Directors
mind boggled on miniscule factors
technicians and musicians, with their expertise
made masterpieces which became a legacy.
In your work, you reflected
The scene prevalent in society
You acted as our mirror
Whether it was independence or it was corruption
You always made a point, though tacit
With tenacity, you pointed the direction.
Clockwise: Dadasaheb Phalke,Himanshu Rai (owner of Bombay Talkies),
Devika Rani (who discovered Dilip Kumar and baptised Madhubala)
You celebrated with us our joys
And mourned our sorrows too
But what went in your lives
Neither we cared nor we knew
Glam-sham and paparazzi we linked you with
Gossip mongers we became, forgetting you were humans too.
But it’s the time to say THANK YOU
For all what you did and what you still do
Raja Harishchandra to Bombay Talkies
You held us glued to the screens
Celebrating 100yrs of Indian Cinema
We wish you many more feats to achieve!
Love: An admirer of Indian Cinema

We have been associated with high action sequences from Hollywood movies,traditional performances from Hongkong movies with a different vision(greater degree of political and economic freedom),metamorphosis of society from Iran and middle east movies,epic presentation of romance from french movies but it is Indian cinema who will always go ahead with a movie rather motion pictures credited with songs dance and loadsa entertainment..entertainment which will ease out your stress and bring smile to a tired soul.
This 100 years of Cinema taught us how to think big..how to dream and how to proceed in our life ..with advancement of technology culminated with our thoughts and visions we have presented gems like Calcutta 71,Mother India,Charulata,Aadmi,Bandit queen,Andolan,and many more..
Being a movie lover..I expect a lot from Indian cinema and with this dramatic advancement and age of digital distribution hope this dream of mine will be fulfilled.
well said bro!!!
