Cinema marte dum tak:-an imaginative, pulpy ride through the canopy lanes of smutty film industry
30 January 2023
Cinema marte dum tak is a documentary series directed by vasan bala.

The interior of 90s bollywood was full-on masala, so is this series. The b-grade compartment really flourished in that decade, holding the able hands of j neelam, kishan shah, dilip gulati and co. This series presents a very enjoyable and pulpy side to a docu series. This not only throws facts at you but also narrates it through a spicy lens, mostly due to the eccentric quartet of director.

It talks about giving a status to the lesser known smutty side of bollywood but also recognized the problems. The public enjoyed it, it earned loads of bucks but no denying the fact that young girls who did not have an iota of what they are doing were forced in it. This is a harsh reality. There is a fine line between heroic and glorify. This series does show the quartet as heroes but never glorifies them, it celebrates them, their work but never undermine the flaws. And this is what makes it a brilliant piece of work. Hats off to vasan bala, the true lover of every kind of cinema.

I rate it 10.
