Hi there..
I am upset with devotional movies nowadays.
Graphics are not being used up to expectations.
It seems that cartoon network's cartoons are much more worth it. Same storyline are being used almost in every single devotional movie nowadays. Whats the same storyline i meant??

Heroine must be very devined to the god, she must have gotten married to a family which will be torturing her till the end where the god will appear and kill those evils in the climax.

Personally, i think from all those devotional pictures i had seen, AMMAN and AATHMA are quite nice.

Amman, graphics were awesome and they seemed more original. Some of them to be mentioned, the part where the SOOLAM will appear out from the AMMAN'S forehead,the part where the hand will come out from the river carrying the "little" AMMAN, and the climax part was simply awesome.

Aathma, eventhough graphics were only used for the movie's conclusion, story seemed more interesting and original. Its a story about where there will be researchers discovering an antique box with some papers in it. This antique box will be safely proctected by an old lady living in the jungle. It will be written in the papers that god will appear infront of any one person in a day mentioned. And the story will go on from there smoothly and i bet that you will be glued to the seat till the picture ends.

These two are the only devotional movies which seemed more original than other "cartoonic" pictures.

What are your veiws guy??

  Relax cine. I would have responded to your thread if I had seen it sooner.
  
  I do agree with every bit of what you said.
  
  Nowadays, devotional films are a joke. I can only watch them to amuse myself. Etc. The tree dancing thandavam can be really hilarious and the humongous statue going for walks, nothing can beat that.
  
  Unlike the old devotional films, not enough research has been done on the current films. Hinduism has been underestimated and miscalculated in this movies; We have spirits challenging God and it takes her a while to destroy two-bit creations of hers. And also humans challenging God and not being afraid despite her showing her form. The distinction between Kali and Amman has been misunderstood and there are many more.
  
  The content is really bad and you don't find yourself learning anything from it. It's just one magic show. What amazes me is that there are people getting into 'trances' just watching these lame films.
  
  Sadly, these films do sell and people do encourage more of such films. As long as there are ignorant people around to buy such crap, I don't think there is going to be any improvement on devotional films.
  
  I'd rather borrow the old devotional films and I never get tired of it no matter how many times I watch it. Each time you watch, you learn something different.
