BMCM:Indian vision comes to life with a coincidental reference to Israel’s Dome

Israel’s famed Iron Dome, or protective shield roof, has been in the news for thwarting hundreds of drones and missiles launched at it by Iran in escalating Middle East tensions.Israel has had this powerful defense system since 1979 when it anticipated mission warfare from Gaza.So what does the Iron Dome have in common with the new Eid release, ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, being watched by Indians and audiences worldwide.
A reference to the iron dome. The film has a scene written by screenwriter director Ali Abbas Zafar, that refers to India having just such a defense system protecting the nations borders against the masked villain Mr X. Called the ‘Karan Kavach’ or shield of Karan - it refers to the famed kavach and kundal (armor plate and earrings) granted in a boon by Lord Surya to Karan. As long as he wore those no weapon could harm him. Of course he was tricked by Indra to give them away in Daan- so that he could be defeated. These stories form an integral part of the famed Mahabharata.The Indian Défense Research and Development Organizarion (DRDO) - the research wing of the Ministry of Defense is probably aiming to work in such a missile defense system in the near future.
Led by the able guidance of Prof K Vijay Raghavan, this initiative reflects the government’s commitment to innovation, accountability, and modernization within the defense sector. As the committee delves into various aspects of the DRDO’s functioning, its recommendations have the potential to shape the organization’s trajectory and contribute significantly to India’s strategic defense capabilities.Like they say, Fiction can be fact too. And Bollywood has proved that right soon enough.
Director Ali Abbas Zafar and producer Vashu Bhagnani conceived this as an important part of ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ - incorporating the protective shield around India in the movie to protect its borders. While similar to the Iron Dome - Indian vision conceived this in its timeless stories more than 3000 years ago. And who knows - with Indian tech capabilities - it may become tomorrow’s truth soon enough.Meanwhile ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ is enjoying the applause for this visionary thought in a masala blockbuster movie.

Jyoti Saxena praises female-oriented films Like Kareena Kapoor's Crew and Sara Ali Khan's Ae Watan 

In the whirlwind world of Bollywood, where box office success often seems as capricious as the monsoon rains, actress Jyoti Saxena is making waves with her opinions on the changing tides of audience preferences. With two back-to-back films set for release, Jyoti Saxena opens up in a unique position to reflect on the industry's shifting dynamics, particularly regarding female-oriented films versus their male-centric counterparts.
Jyoti Saxena stands at the forefront of a burgeoning conversation over Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon's film CREW and the star-studded spectacle of Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff's "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Jyoti Saxena shares her thoughts on films that turn in favor of women nowadays, the actress says, "It's all fair to say that female-oriented films work more than male-oriented films. The industry and audience preferences have evolved. They crave authenticity and originality, not just star power or recycled formulas. The recent example is the two consecutive female-oriented films that have amazed the audience with their performance Kareena Kapoor's CREW and Sara Ali Khan's Ae Watan Mere Watan."
"For me, it's very evident that now-oriented films and female-lead films work more than male-oriented or male-leading films, as the audience can resonate and connect more now and they want to have fresh content and not copied, because I feel after doing so much promotion and hype, audiences simply don't connect with films that feel derivative or lack freshness. It's not about big names or manufactured hype anymore. Audiences want substance, and they're embracing stories that speak to them authentically. I feel and hope BMCM had worked more on their story and performance rather than just promoting it so much."
Indeed, the resounding success of Kareena Kapoor's film Crew and Sara Ali Khan's film stand as a testament to this evolving paradigm. Bolstered by a stellar cast and a narrative that deftly navigates themes of womanhood and empowerment, the film has struck a chord with audiences, eclipsing the hype of star-driven blockbusters like "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan."We can surely agree with Jyoti's point of view on the film and the audience choices over it as now female-oriented films occupy an increasingly prominent place on the cinematic landscape, the future of Bollywood looks brighter and more inclusive than ever before.
