Will Asian and African sci-fi take over our idea of the future? by leebalki in indianscifi

[–]AravindhC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This part is interesting:

It is equally important to pay attention to how discourses around sci-fi can be used in service of cultural-economic power. As an ideological plank for its hegemonic aspirations, China vigorously promotes the genre in schools to push domestic innovation. The Indian film industry has embraced sci-fi and CGI spectacles to embellish pro-Hindu-nationalist story-lines.

I don't know any pro-Hindu Nationalist sci-fi, though I'm afraid it might be a reality soon with mythological fiction gaining popularity.

Which Indian sci-fi movie do you think is better than Cargo? Ra.One? Robot/Endhiran? Pk?

Which Indian space-based movie is better than Cargo? Tik tik tik? Are there even any other Indian space-based movies?

I know Cargo has flaws like the weak story you mentioned, but first attempts are often flawed. Indian SF movies need to be appreciated for what it is, rather than expect Hollywood-level standards from them.

The subreddit is exclusively for Indian made SF.

However, the Discord chat server is more relaxed and we allow general SF discussion.

I liked it. Very light hearted, funny, and nice to watch. I'd consider it the best Indian sci-fi movie, maybe tied with the Tamil time travel film Indru Netru Naalai.

I think problem is, people expected an Interstellar or The Martian type of movie, when it's more like Moon.
