Experimental Cinema

‘Experimental Cinema’ is a buzzword today. Film-makers are getting empowered to tell ‘hatke’ stories intimately, using their own individuality. But at some level experimental cinema has also become an excuse to exhibit sleaze, vulgarity, grotesque and psychotic elements on screen, of course in an edgy manner, using cinematic tools and techniques mostly borrowed from western movies. The intelligentsia is happy, for they get the chance to write about the deep psychological undertones that such movies offer in plenty. And the audiences are happy, for they get to indulge some guilty pleasures, albeit vicariously.
