So while having a talk with my Father on the phone, he mentioned that a movie that the two of us had watched a while back called Aagey Se Right is being turned into a game. So I did a search on Google and found out that it was not the only game that was being turned into a game. Apparently there are three movies from the Indian movie machine that are being turned into games by a company called IndiaGames.All of the quotes are 'copy-paste's of the statements in the article I found.
“The ‘Quick Gun Murugun’ game is based on the film Quick Gun Murugun, who is the central character of the game. He is an unlikely superhero with ‘Guntastic’ powers and a sincere South Indian cowboy who considers it his duty to serve and protect. The movie revolves around his mis-adventures with his arch villain Rice Plate Reddy! The whacky game-play of Quick Gun Murugan tests the player’s shooting speed and reaction time. The player, who is a cowboy, has to swiftly shoot the enemies appearing in the area using a desert eagle pistol, before they try to shoot him.”
“The game ‘Aagey Se Right’ is an action-packed nonstop bike racing/pursuit game based on UTV Motion Pictures’ comedy film Aagey Se Right. The game-play tests the player’s driving skills, speed and reaction time while he rides his bike through the chaotic streets of Mumbai city. In the game, the player who dons the role of the cop Dinkar Waghmare, has to chase his trusted Bajarangbali stickered gun on the run. While chasing it, his fate and destiny make him an unlikely hero against the underworld goons and terrorists.”
And last but not least Kaminey:
“Inspired by the latest blockbuster Kaminey, a UTV Motion Pictures production, Indiagames has launched a highly action packed mobile game aptly suiting the thrills offered by the movie. Go chase, fight the cops, take risks, hit the rival gangs - Experience the craze that you wish to be a part of, after watching the movie. The game replicates the role donned by Charlie, the protagonist of the movie, packed with absorbing game-play and thrilling levels.”
Now while it is a common practice in the US to turn games into movies (especially the major releases like Iron Man, Pirates of the Caribbean, Avatar and the like), it is a very new thing in India for something like this… India has the largest movie industry in the world (last I checked) with just of movies coming out in a year; the Hindi movie industry is big and the Tamil movie industry probably bigger. But, this is small step in Indian game industry as these games are only for the mobile phones.
So what is next then, maybe bigger games for the console systems for some of the other popular movie titles.
Sathiya: You play as the protagonist while going through the city searching for your missing wife through the streets of Mumbai. Game play features driving through the gritty streets of Mumbai in a open sandbox environment. Beautifully scripted flashback sequences in hidden locations. New and exciting songs
Ab tak Chappan: Play as Sadhu Agashe, the lead inspector of the encounter squad, as he navigates the murky underbelly of Mumbai as you search for criminals and execute them, all in the name of Justice!
Don: Play as Vijay, an unwilling civilian, who has to use his wits and charm to mimic the now dead don of Mumbai so he can expand his empire while still surviving the dingy environment of the Underworld. Now with more Dancing sequences employing the use of the iToy attachment for a full on immersion.
Needless to say, I think these games, if they existed, would have been a lot more interesting than most of the games that get released now a days…
