The controversy surrounding the movie Three Idiots has finally come to an end without any definite conclusions. Nothing tangible has been achieved by any of the parties involved in the conflict and it's the public who is feeling that they have been cheated once again. It's the overall notion among the general public currently that whenever there is movie release, no matter being it a big or tiny one, it is used as a viable platform for publicity.
There are several cases to support this read and to some extent it holds true in this case also. To be precise, when the controversy begin sprouting within the media the sales of the novel 5 Point Someone rocketed to a replacement high and there was a recent rush, to feature to the maddening rush of opening weekend, to look at the movie Three Idiots. Clearly there have been folks who wished to see the movie once more when reading the novel. Therefore, this whole episode has triggered an entire new discussion of ethics as folks are prepared to cash on the emotions of the public.
It's true that the movie had a different flavor which is contradictory to the novel at a number of positions but the book still holds a special feature within the movie. There would are no film whatsoever; if there was no book known as 5 Purpose Someone. It's additionally true that if there had been a court case then the Vidhu Vinod Chopra productions would have won it as they need the legal papers signed by the author. The author has reportedly sold the rights to their production house thus that they'll build a movie on it.
Such is the trend in India that no one wants to provide credit to someone even if the opposite person has contributed to their project even in remotest of terms. This episode is a testimony to the current Indian trend. These film manufacturers and public at massive ought to take a cue from the folks of west when giving credit to the deserving or being courteous. We have a tendency to tend to follow the western culture in fashion blindly but rarely appreciate the finer things that are inherent in them. The trend in Hollywood is such that usually every producer and director acknowledges the work and pays due credit in the film and even while accepting an award. Take the instance of Danny Boyle who was nice enough to administer credit to Vikas Swarup for his novel Q&A on which his blockbuster film Slumdog Millionaire was based. The name of the author was in the start and was additionally appreciated by Danny at the awards ceremony of the Academy Awards.
I'm not saying that it is wrong to take credit of your work but it is continuously nice to be gracious to the person who has conjointly done important work on the identical project. We have a tendency to all grasp that Chetan Bhagat may be a professional author and wants due appreciation and credit but this is often on no account the manner to try and do it. His works are widely read by plenty in India and typically abroad but his works are never considered sensible from a literary point of view. His ranking among literary classics is means behind the likes of Shakespeare and Marlowe however he is certainly reviving the interest of common Indian in reading.
So this controversy could are avoided if there was some gracious perspective on part of the film makers. Nothing will be done currently, but there is a lesson for individuals of India whose sentiments are used time and again for industrial interests. Perhaps next time we have a tendency to have a different story to witness.
