Renowned veteran filmmaker Adoor Gopalakrishnan has openly shared his strong views on the shifting landscape of cinema, stating firmly that he does not believe in making films specifically for streaming platforms. Speaking at a prominent industry conclave while discussing his much-anticipated return to direction with the upcoming movie Padayaatra after a gap of ten years, the legendary director opened up about how the surge in digital viewing during the COVID-19 pandemic once made him question the very relevance of theatrical filmmaking. Emphasizing that true cinematic art is built for the big screen, the celebrated auteur noted that watching movies on small digital screens or phones feels like a massive compromise.
Elaborating further on his philosophy, the master craftsman explained that his projects are meticulously designed to be experienced inside a properly equipped auditorium with great acoustics and a darkened hall. He noted that cinema requires the audience to truly engage with the visuals and sound, warning that viewing movies on digital platforms strips away the immersive concentration that a theatrical hall demands. While he acknowledged that streaming platforms are acceptable for generating additional revenue after a film completes its theatrical run, he stressed that the primary medium of creation must always remain the cinema hall. As discussions regarding the future of theatrical distribution continue to trend across the entertainment world, Adoor’s uncompromising stance serves as a powerful reminder of the irreplaceable magic of the big-screen experience.
