A film is considered to be a child of every creator !! He has his own creativity to show to the world through his film !! It s really hard for a creator to pull the audience to cinema screen !! The video piracy demon is the biggest threat for cinema over the years !! Nowadays even the government is becoming a big threat for cinema !! The Tamil film industry is lagging creativity over the years because of the Tamilnadu government and sometimes the censor board !! It all started with The tax relaxation for films with a pure Tamil title !!Now the state government has issued a notice that states the new guidelines for films seeking entertainment tax waiver. According to the new rules:
The film should have procured U certificate from the Censor Board. The crux of the story should be in consonance with the Tamil culture Majority of the dialogues should be in Tamil. Movies with high adult content and violence will not be eligible for tax waiver. These guidelines will be applicable to all films that are yet to get the tax exemption. Further, a special committee will be appointed to recommend films that would be eligible for the entertainment tax waive. Everyone know that the Kollywood industry had displeasure in the previous government !!Now the new rules of the government will certainly be a hurdle for many of the creators as they have to compromise with the script !! The movie industry and the movie lovers are shocked over the rules for tax relaxation which says only a U certificate procured films will be given the tax relaxation !! Why Kollywood hasn't come upto the Bollywood and Hollywood standards though it has potential film makers??? It is only because of the government and the censor board !!Most of the audience in Tamilnadu welcomes violence and adult content in Hollywood and Bollywood !! whereas they simply abuse such Tamil films ..this leads to the films' failure in box office even it's different !! Movies like Aayirathil oruvan and Aaranya kaandam are better examples!! This has threatened many creators to travel in the untraveled path !! For a film to be perfect , the creator should have his own freedom which is not there in Kollywood !! KILLING THE CREATIVITY IS COMPARED TO INFANTICIDE!! Are these so important for the government when they have so many issues like education, human welfare, electricity, infrastructure & overall economic development to deal with??? What will the government earn out of this FILM-I-CIDE!!??? Arun Guhan arunguhan0@gmail.com
