Recently the Delhi High Court has admitted a video recording of a will as legally admissible evidence. If these video wills become legal, this will open new avenues for video and filmmakers. “Get your will directed and cinematographed by famous Bollywood directors and cinematographers.” Such adverts would be seen in the classified columns. There is no dearth of money when the question of ostentatious display arises in our country. You might hear some rich woman boasting; “You know my uncle had got made his will by an Oscar-winner director.” The other person might be one up and grandly declare that her father was engaging A.R. Rehman to record special music numbers for his will. The will could be thus announced, “Two hundred acres of land goes to my only son who had never obeyed me,” accompanied by a sad symphony.
Some rich tycoons, accompanied by successful filmmakers, might go to Switzerland or Canada to shoot their last wishes on beautiful locations. You never know after the death of a film star his “will” may become a bigger hit on news channels than his actual films during his lifetime.
