A good film or for that matter a good story always sells and the era of good and quality films will never come to an end, said veteran film critic and columnist Jaiprakash Chowkse in a talk show RsChanging time and film journalism’ organised by  Indore Press Club here on Saturday as a part of its annual linguistic journalism festival.

Describing veteran film critic Shriram Tamrakar as an encyclopedia of Bollywood, Chowkse said that late Tamrakar was a very gentle and honest person and he used to spend a major chunk of his earning on subscribing film magazines and periodicals. The first session of linguistic journalism festival was dedicated to the memory of veteran film critics late Shriram Tamrakar.

Presiding over the talk show vice-chancellor, Kushabhau Thakre University Maansingh Parmar while sharing his experiences with Tamrakar said late Tamrakar had great inclination towards   reading and teaching, who   always took film journalism on a very serious note.

Eminent lyricist Irsaad Kamil described films as a journalism of ideologies and not facts. Talking about modern lyrics, he said today songs lyrics are written taking into consideration taste of audience and it hardly matters if lyrics are grammatically incorrect or incoherent.

Eminent film critic Ajay Brahmataz said today with changing times, the approach of film journalism has also changed. Today a film critic more than writing about a film, writes on its surroundings.

 Trisha Gupta, columnist, Mumbai Mirror said an   era of globalisation and liberalisation, the film journalism has undergone various changes. Today a film audience more than reading review about a film shows his interest in the rating of the films.
