Hi all,
Of late in our state TamilNadu, there is a lot of banning happening. While Central Government banned Maggi and Porn, TamilNadu government now has moved from banning movies to banning the location for most of movies made in Tamil Film Industry.
There may be some set of people who may benefit if TASMAC (TamilNadu State Marketing Corporation) is banned, and some affected if they ban it.
I am not sure whether it will be end of alcohol in TamilNadu, but for sure it means end of many Tamil Film Directors career.
Tamil Film Industry is referred to as Kollywood a coined word by amalgamating Kodambakkam and Hollywood, was due to the fact that predominantly movies were made in studios in Kodambakkam. This was the case before TamilNadu Government took a monopoly in Liquor business.
Now I guess Tamil Film Industry can also be taken under TASMAC as most of movies are anyways shot in TASMAC, and there is no bigger marketing required if you have marketed a movie in TASMAC.
Instead of trying for D2H with Vishwaroopam, Kamalahasan should have tried for T2H, as TASMAC reach is more in TamilNadu than D2H.
TASMAC has more reach in Tamil Nadu than most of us could think of, you can definitely find a place without telephone signals, but can never find a place without TASMAC.
If Government had mandated that along with every bottle of alcohol sold that a movie ticket has to be bought Even if a meager 10Rs were to be charged for the ticket 100 crore or even 200 crore would be a cake-walk or for sake of keeping interests of many it should be beer-float.
Last week when there was protests in Tamilnadu for closing of bars, Government had the Police Department giving protection in all the bars across the state. But last year when some minor threat was raised by a gang of people some movies were not released and had to postpone.
Definitely in TamilNadu there are more TASMAC shops than the number of movies halls and definitely there are more people visiting TASMAC than movie halls, Government could have easily given protection to people who are visiting cinema halls.
Probably, Government was interested in protecting the people who pay them money and hence people who were coming to TASMAC were given protection.
It is always 'Customer First' approach which the Government is taking.
Speaking of 'Customer First' no other Industry can treat the customers so bad and still run with huge profits, no other industry can give poor quality products and service and still walk to the coffers with huge money.That is the reach of TASMAC in Tamil Nadu and that is what monopoly can lead to.
Now that Government is considering banning TASMAC, may be it is just the next step and a testimony to the fact that Government has learnt the art of banning. Why to ban a movie after it has been shot and why not ban the place where it is shot and hence ban the ban on movies only.
Also it can make definitely their life simple, as any scene or dialogue which has reference to liquor in Tamil Movies can be banned as TASMAC is banned.
Movie Critics will be satisfied now as to make a Tamil movie in Hollywood standards, now it has to be shot in bars of Hollywood.
Avid movie watchers may have an issue as they may have to find out a new way out to get rid of the headaches they get seeing the movies.
Jai Hind !
