@@user-hq8wm8giyujcg You talk about nepo as it is exclusive to the Bombay-based industry. Clearly, you have no idea about the South film industry and its incestuous nature.
Factionism, lack of screenplay writers/ lack of originality/ critics who are friends with industry (you Anupama) and out of touch with people/ movies unrelatable to viewers- disconnect with audience / HIgh salaries of actors / ego / overexposure - no mystery about performers behind the scenes / mass production vs mass appeal / boomer energy of old production houses / insipid music, no focus on BGM and music directors seem disconnected from storyline.
The star culture has gone because Actors are no more connected with the Audience..If you see south actors firstly they are not that exposed and also they have certain rootedness because of which Audience and normal people can relate with them more...On the other hand if you see new Actor , Actresses their lifestyle, interest is something no one can connect..So even when they try to behave like normal people in some interviews that looks fake.. It's fine to live a lifestyle the way you want but if you are a public figure and behave like Hollywood actors , obsessed with them and rather than celebrating Indian festivals more interested in celebrating Halloween people find it weird..I still feel Amir Khan, Akshay Kumar , or Sharukh Khan have some connection and relativeness..You enjoy watching their interviews and their dressing style..Even Actresses like Deepika, Shraddha they still behaves like normal people or talks about relative things and have certain rootedness..Also shows like Koffee with Karan where young actor , actresses only talk about sex, dating , Hollywood obsessions ,with whom they want to hook up creates a lack of respect towards them from Audience..They even openly express they can't or don't like to speak in hindi..Their dresses, way of life , can't speak in hindi attitude is really irritating and Annoying..
I'm a non Indian American who loves the last 5 decades of Indian film. Main Hoon Na was my first Indian film and I felt I'd never seen a movie before watching that. I now watch more Indian films than Hollywood content. And I've also noticed the change in quality with Bollywood films over the years. So here are my two cents: 1) HEART. 2) MODERNIZE AS MAKES SENSE BUT DON'T WESTERNIZE. I hate it when Bollywood westernizes what should never be westernized. The last thing the world needs is to make everything MORE like "Hollywood" including and especially like western rap style music videos. That can be boring, not creative, unoriginal, and it's been done to death and wasn't even good in the first place. Keep what makes Indian culture, stories, themes, struggles, and films unique in all the world. That is what speaks to your fan base, is your great marketing niche locally and globally, AND your strength. Universal and timeless themes of humanist, human rights, women's and children's rights and social justice themes, yes. "Modernize" in that sense (human rights and themes of needed social improvements) but don't westernize - keep what's great about south Asian culture and traditions and values, and spirituality too. 3) MASALA MUSICALS. Don't get rid of the things that make Indian film so unique like masala musicals. Over the top aspects when it makes a better film (comedy, melodrama, song & dance numbers, music, scenery, set pieces, drama) and other unique ways of story telling. 4) WHERE IS ALI ZAFAR?! That's a giant star and talent right under your nose in ALL AREAS (actor, writer, producer, singer, dancer, composer). He should be huge. 5) WHERE ARE THE GREAT MUSIC, SOUNDTRACKS, & SONG & DANCE NUMBERS and amazing unique choreography Bollywood is world famous for? Farah Khan, Aiyaa, Main Hoon Na, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Dil Se, Don, KANK, Om Shanti Om, Jodah Akbar, films from those eras had amazing music and dance numbers. The more recent Teefah in Trouble was great too. So much of the newer item numbers look and sound like your average Western music video with western style music, skimpy leotard / swimsuit type outfits for the women, and strip club / rap style dance styles. Find a way to make things fresh but also make them original and keep them Indian. 6) GREAT "BIG" MOVIES - BUT GREAT SMALLER MOVIES TOO. Great simple, original, compelling, well written stories. Well written, directed, acted, filmed movies. 6) Great films that are also FAMILY FRIENDLY. That's a unique strength and are the hallmark of Bollywood's past - great films the whole family can watch, discover and grow as favorite films as family traditions together. 7) Unique, compelling stories that are uniquely regional, Indian / south Asian, Middle West. 8) Newer stars, actors and actresses, AND the "older" ones too (male but especially female) - in starring and/or co-starring and support roles, who we will always love and still want to see: Madhuri Dixit, Kajol, Juhi Chawla, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukherjee, Sushmita Sen, Konkana Sen, Aishwarya, and so many others.
I wish to see East India (Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Sikkim, Jharkand and West Bengal) and West India (Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa) Movies become famous like North and South!!
Amen! DAMan movie is the first Odia movie getting dubbed in Hindi and is releasing Pan India on Feb 3rd. A true heartwarming story which is made to a movie. Please watch and give your support just like you all have lent to southern movies.
Actors like Srk, Salman, Hrithik,Ajay, Ranbir Kapoor, Akshay needed to step up. Srk, Hrithik, Ranbir,Ajay sir already started their new innovative ideas in working. I hope Salman sir also will be back with a big blockbuster. Akshay sir needed to raise their movie scales also. Rajkumar rao,Varun, Ayushman they have a great way of selecting script i hope this year their luck click.
Bollywood seems to have forgotten the art of the masala musical, nothing these days evokes the feeling of KKHH or KHNH, or even ZNMD or YJHD for that matter. But I have hope from Jee Le Zaraa and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan. The Akhtars still seem to have some idea of how to do what Rohit Shetty clearly cannot.
One thing is that PATHAN isn't going to change anything even if it does pretty well on the box-office, but it will worsen the condition if it fails to perform well. Let me explain, it's a high budget film featuring superstars, it's already an event film and people know it's gonna be good. But when a small film with new actors and low budget does well on the box-office, then only something will have changed. Producers will be motivated to try something new and focus on content oriented films. However if PATHAN fails, everyone will be like.. if SRK can't save bollywood even with PATHAN, then nothing can.
Even hollywood Low budget movie not work in theaters public want only marvel and avatar types movies b dikkat tumhe sirf indian public m dikhega madrrrrr
Bollywood audience has shifted to OTT.. Ott platforms are investing crores in web series projects in hindi but not in south languages. Which clearly shows bollywood has huge OTT audience..
One has to understand how south film industry rose to great heights..they made their movies free and dubbed on you tube and cultivated the taste of audience in the world .they created the demand. Production houses mustt train people to write scripts or organise script writing competition. Talented people should be trained further. Bollywood needs to be more collaborative.
@Universe your hypothesis is absolutely garbage, the highest grossing indian movie is still dangal, and it was realised a few years ago only, bollywood has provided with great content and some underwhelming content too, just like south movies, with 2 3 amazing films ,there 10 more "physics fucking" balya type films you know it too.

South films have novelty factor with new faces who display some excellent acting. But they are also rooted. They tell the story of the common man without preaching or looking down. They don't tell a generic story in a generic town. Rather they name the town and the actors adopt that particular accent and look the part and hence very relatable to the core audience of that state. The script writers know the local politics and caste hierarchy. Do Hindi films consider any of that?
I don’t go to theaters just for content anymore, the film has to be entertaining… and of course it has to have my fav star… so I am assured even film is average I enjoyed it
I am eagerly waiting for jawaan more than pathaan as I feel pathaan tries to be an mission impossible+James bond, while jawaan seems like an Indian masala action film
movies have to be made with love, it is at the end of the day a form of art. viewers can sense when they are pulled towards a gimmick, unfortunately most of the bolly movies are gimmicky with little or no love or even understanding. Pakeezah wasn't made after any consumer study but it was made with love and a genuine ache, the ache to tell a story is missing. all the movies that we now refer as classics were made because the filmmaker had to tell that story and he/she had utmost conviction. now most of the bolly stories are made on a perceived belief system, we feel this is what 'they' want. they as in the ones who are paying the ticket. this formula has failed Bollywood In the last few years. but there is hope as we will always have the genuine storytellers, though they might not have a posh postal address.
Movies should be made with love and passion. But at the end of the day, it's business too. Give your audience what they demand while nudging their tastes towards something different/better quality.
I think Hindi Film industry Should be in UP/Bihar/Delhi with local writers actors and directors with rooted stories. This Bandra based writers and their stories can't connect with North Audience.
Make movies on real Bollywood romance, not fake wannabe tik tok type romance. Onlu true romance can save Bollywood. Cause Bollywood is all about Romance first then comes others. Romance & Comedy, only feel good movies can make Bollywood come back. That is the true reason why we watched movies, to feel good. For good emotional package. I wish Yash Chopra takes a rebirth and comes back to make Bollywood beautiful again 😍
This brings to mind what Karan Johar said in one of his interviews last year. Bollywood film makers has lost their conviction. There was sincerity and Originality in the films that were once made that has been replaced by formulas, remakes and franchises. This success of this template just made people lazy and put most writers and directors in a box. Bollywood needs to take a step back and return to telling proper home grown stories, invest in a new crop of writers, actors and directors and back it with conviction. They've spent too much time depending on the stars that were instead of developing the stars that could be. Anyhu, I'm rooting for Bollywood this year. I hope it can come back with bang
I had said this many a times ever since the announcement video of Pathaan was launched that Pathaan will rewrite box office history n all records will be broken n it will emerge as the benchmark for Hindi films at the box office and I have been proved right!!! I am so happy as I see Pathaan getting all the love it deserves n do exactly what I had predicted. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. It's the most fun I have had at movies. Oh God!!! This is unbelievable!!!! Shah Rukh Khan has returned as Action God with a personality n heart. Can't wait for #Pathaan2 . ❤👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Make movies based on real inspirational true stories, either on small entrepreneurs who could survive against all odds, or on soldiers who fought valiantly in a hopeless situation,
Anupama, i feel there is a lot of focus on Adult rated content, with a lot of UP , Bihar language, sexual abuse and corruption. As a family , we want content driven family movies! Could be thriller movies like Andhadhun or rom coms with nice music score
I think of the major reason why bollywood movies are not working is CONTENT and it not being that culturally rooted which is what south movies are. The relatability is lost as they make movies where it is urbanised, feels like they are catering only tier 1 cities
@@anilkumarjena688 honey, people want to watch those movies and the only place they exist is ott platforms.... But they are low budgets and if they had the tiniest bump of resources i.e. budget, they'll do really well in the theatre....
@@anilkumarjena688 mid budget movies do work if the content is relatable to audience and that audience should be single screen audience. The mid budget movies made for urban will not work bcz they will prefer watching them in OTT.
I could think of 4 factors into why I believe Bollywood has struggled so much for the past few years. Just an opinion among many. 1. The pandemic changed how people value their time and money. If the film isn't going to guarantee a 100% must-watch-in-the-theater experience, then why waste your money and time? Anyways, what's the rush to watch a film on the big screen anymore when it'll be on OTT within a month or few? Now I personally think this is a bit of a shame, because it means non-action films or non-mass films will struggle at the box office, even though many of these non-action/mass films do deserve a theatrical release (like Qala or Monica, O My Darling! to name a few). 2. Bollywood/Hindi film music has just been awful for many films in the past few years. Post 2016, only a few Hindi films have delivered a stellar soundtrack or that one hit song. Music was a driving factor in getting people to the theaters. But for some reason (or reasons), Bollywood songs have been just unbearable to listen to for the past few years. I'm not saying that for the past few years all Hindi film soundtracks suck, buuut a good number of them do and that is insane. I personally think this has a lot to do with a lack in bringing new talent and Hindi music losing its Indian roots. 3. There is no denying that there is a social/political level to Hindi films struggling. There is a disconnect between the Bollywood elite and the common Indian. I do think that the nepotism debate has a huge hand to play at how the Hindi film industry is viewed and treated. Now, the debate isn't anything new, but it was brewing for quite some time and hit a peak when covid began. And with OTT being an option, people truly realized "I don't need to give my money to see these elites on the screen, who don't care about "commoners" trying to make it in the industry. I can watch this shit at home for cheap (or even for free!)" 4. This perhaps goes into my first point, but it's insane how many crappy films have been coming out of Bollywood - especially from leading stars. There was a time when if an actor was to be in a film, one could almost guarantee that film would 100% satisfy the audience. But look at the films that some leading stars, like Akshay Kumar or Ranveer Singh, have taken since at least 2020 - most of those films are bad, or average at best. The audience is not going to watch a movie just because a Ranveer Singh or Salman Khan is in it. The film has to be good. I think this has a lot to do with, yes, nepotism, but also just not getting/allowing for new talent to come into Hindi cinema. We'll need new faces both on the screen and behind the screen who have true talent and hard work for many audiences to change how they perceive Bollywood. Current writers and aspiring writers especially have to be motivated and given the right amount of support to change the amount of low quality movies releasing.
Just ORIGINAL CONTENT ..it is must 🙌❤️...we are done with remakes... As someone who is grown up watching Bollywood films, it is heartbreaking to see this phase of bollywood 💔 Either the films are not working bcauz content is not engaging enough or even if it works (like Drishyam 2) it is a remake... Even though south remakes are successful audience will still not give the full credit to the makers and the actors no matter how good they done there job ... So let's do something original... it's high time we bring back that old charm of bollywood ❤️ And it doesn't mean just the Angry young man phase but the CONVICTION we had on our stories... I mean even the Director of KGF 2 said he took inspiration from movies like sholay and other bollywood films... Mr. S S Rajamouli have mentioned in several interviews how Hindi films have influenced him... Even though I love south films and i genuinely think they are doing a great job...but it's unfair when people say things like "South have took over and bollywood is over" and such things 🤦...i mean comparisons are just gonna make the whole environment more toxic... I hope this is just a phase...and anyways many Hindi and south actors and directors are already collaborating with each other....i think soon we are going to break those barriers of Hindi/Marathi/South cinema or regional cinema and it will be an "Indian Cinema" 🙌😍 Let's hope for a better future not just for bollywood but for a whole Film industry 🤞❤️
When I think of my biggest memories of indian cinema, 90 percent of it comes from the music. And that basically doesn't exist today. The legacy of art people like Lataji left us has been abandoned.
SIMPLE give new people the chances to WRITE AND DIRECT other than the already established and who went away from people interest with their content. coz here in the industry like Kollywood and mollywood people consistently change and every fresh contents changes & creator of those as well in 3-5years of gaps which is why we able to reach any masses. with tollywood they able to give chances to the established creators the big budget and allow them to give content to globalize it from their root. and we know how sandalwood is entering into this game now! wakeup plz bollywood.
That you think that's the biggest film industry in India... why is it a full blown crisis if films from other languages are doing well? Arent we past the "regional and Hindi" yet? Why is always the "Us and them" ?
Excellent content should be the only focus. Earlier people used to go to cinema halls to see the stars but now due to their overexposure on social media, audience would go to cinema halls only if the content is excellent. Just ‘good’ is not enough because there is lot of good stuff to watch on OTT already. Blaming corporate production houses does not make any sense. South stars are not overexposed on social media plus the translated dubbing is getting better and better with each movie. So there certainly is novelty factor intact with these movies. Also, they have some new stories to tell like Kantara, Drishyam, KGF, etc.
Kyuki india k log movie lover nhi h inko sirf superstar ki movie se mtlb hota h dusri baat bollywood hamesa superstar k sath big budget movie banata h isliye fail ho jata h
‘Humility’I totally agree with you on this. Well said. What else? Hmm maybe Karan Johar needs to step away and vanish into obscurity. I feel he is still omnipresent with the media tied-in industry, and somehow it’s putting a gloomy ‘Bandra’ curse on the industry. He’s intelligent and all with good business insight but I don’t think the audiences have recovered from the SSR-Kangana nepotistic debacle. I think his disappearance and letting go of industry control will open the door to new air of changes. I don’t know, just a thought.
Three suggestions- (a) try to eliminate the incestuous nature of Bollywood (b) think local stories, act global treatment (b) diversify supply chain into other parts of India (as well as the world)
Once regional movies faced tough competition from hindi cinema but look now what has happened....this phenomenon bollywood never imagined in their dreams. They filled their pockets by doing remakes and still pretending to be a king of Indian cinema.... 😂
To answer the last question, I think Bollywood has begun to overproduce films for the sake of making films - but what we as an audience want is films that are made with conviction and passion, with a captivating story , well developed script, compelling characters, and a film we will be happy to rewatch again and again. we are missing the superstar quality we had of the 90s-2000s, so as an audience we feel less faith in newcomer actors who are signing to poorly written scripts and way too many movies . That being said, I really believe like SRK said- he is the last of the stars , if Bollywood doesn’t jump back at the box office with Pathaan (which it will !) , Bollywood writers need to get back to the drawing board of what makes a film TIMELESS and compelling- rather than simply instragramable
I agree that movies should be made with passion. But I rather doubt we'll find anything original in Pathan. The director is too much in awe of Hollywood. Sadly SRK seems to be the last of the superstars.
Not a native so my opinion doesn't really count, but I just want to say stop it with the remakes. Especially with streaming kicking down the wall between movies from various regions and making it easier for people to watch a Vikram Vedha when it came out in 2017, expecting them to be excited enough for the same movie again in 2022 to make back a vastly bigger budget seems completely ridiculous to me.
SRK has been missing. KJO and SRK combo is missing. LOve stories are missing. None of the kids or teenagers these days can say that they are inspired by movies. When we were growing up in the 90's, we learnt rmance watching SRK and Kajol in Aditya Chopra Movies and KJo movies. We learnt how to woo gals and fall in love, and respect gals because of teh movies. Now there is nothing that can ignite such emotions. Hppegfully SRK this year can deliver the goods and inspire us again
@@gudduentertains because movies don't work on attachment to star. There should be a proper story. All I'm saying is he is the last actor for which audience is excited. All of his even flop films has got good opening than any other movie. Hope you got your answer Mike.
1. Just look at the Top 6 grossers you listed. That list tells you everything you need to know about what the audience wants. Q - after Brahmastra, what is the next highest grossing Bollywood film? 2. Stop making every film song a banger,a party song, or something with dhol! When you go to Hindi karaoke, no one sings any songs from the past 5-10 years because there are not songs, they are party anthems. Instead they dance to them at wedding receptions and nightclubs. 3. The fact that South films are releasing in Hindi dub in Hindi belt theaters, TV, and OTT means that Bollywood has competition, not that South films are better. 4. Unfortunately the typical South film has more misogyny, patriarchy, machismo than Bollywood, and unfortunately that speaks to the Hindi Belt (though their flavors of misogyny, patriarchy, machismo are different), hence average South films would do better up there. 5. Movies like GoW and especially Sonchirya were ahead of their time and would do even better today. 6. Tell Akshay Kumar to stop releasing 1 crappy movie per month! He is single handedly taking down Bollywood as a Brand and turning it into the laughing stock of India. He should release max 4 films per year, and each script should have enough time for rewrites. 7. For north Indians, south films are essentially north films without the baggage of known stars, so they can enjoy a film as a film itself. If you had cast those South films with only Bollywood actors as leads, they wouldn't have done as well in box office because they come with star baggage and branding. Similarly, the reverse is also not true - see Liger for proof. This means you need to cultivate a fresh crop of Bollywood actors. Karan Johar understood this when he made SOTY. But that was a decade ago - who is doing this now? 8. With the exception of Dhadak, Jhanvi Kapoor has only been doing solo projects her entire career so far. This looks like the height of nepotism. While she might be talented, the right to command such a significant portion of Bollywood output, solo and so soon, hasn't been earned. Hence the cry against nepotism. By contrast, aside from Highway (which was essentially an art film), Alia Bhatt did a number of rom coms and multi starrers until she finally made Raazi. Samantha did the same until her solo Hey Baby. Rashmika has still only made rom coms and multi starrers. And who needs a Mili when Helen is already organically a wonderful film and is available dubbed in Hindi? At least Good Luck Jerry is steeped in its north east milieu. 9. It doesn't matter if it's urban or rural, rich or poor - if you give Amitabh Bachchan a chance to genuinely act (in interesting stories) instead of just play the grandfather, ppl will show up for it. Piku, Badla, and Pink were genuinely successful films and would still be today. 10. War was a genuine hit and would still be in the today, it might have equaled or bested Brahmastra if it released in 2022. People want to see money and effort onscreen, by the actors and by the production side. 11. You need rom coms, romances, love triangles, and multistarrers to build your next generation of actors and actresses, because that's what they cut their teeth on in developing their acting skills. They also bond the audience with the stars. Again KJo understood this with SOTY followed by the mid-2010s rom com revival. 12. You need fresh blood behind the camera. The leading producers, directors, and casting directors can't still be the same ones from the '90s & '00s. They were fresh then but stale now, and they turn to the familiar stars instead of grooming new actors. 13. Bahubali was a precursor to what's happening today. It taught the global Indian audience that they can expect original rooted and historical storytelling that feels more like a Hollywood production, with excellent screenplays, and didn't require known (to all) actors to put butts in seats. 12. If the '90s-'10s were about modernizing the subject matter, the acting styles, and the millieu of Indian films, the next 20+ years will be about bringing modern technicraft of filmmaking to increasingly Indian stories and milieu. 13. At least at the multiplexes, if you bring down the ticket price for midbudget films, while keeping them high for expensive projects, families will still come out to theaters for midbudget films. But you need to bring the ticket price down low enough to make it affordable for families.

1st ask your bollywood directors like ANURAG to direct KOllywood films with thalapathy vijay,suriya and vijay sethupathi ,APARJITH VIKRAM as film lead Want use our Directors in BOLLYWOOD but dont want to DIRECT KOLLYWOOD FILMS
you dont give 250 crore to kollywood films but you want kollywood to give success to bollywood even to VIKRAM FILM it did not get 250 crore in north india but why should kollywood give bollywood hits
bollywood's big budget movies have become clueless and dumb. Most of the movies lacks stories and emotion. Just cheap jokes can not win the audiences. Telegu, tamil flim industries are shining cause they have everything and most important thing is they build up the character and put them in a story which really has a heart.
1. Content should be so compelling that viewers can't wait for it to release on ott. (kantara) 2. Excellent big screen cinematic experience. NOT cartoonish, cheap, hurriedly done, vfx. Audience are more than forgiving. Bollywood should stop living in bubble of stars, and listen to audience feedback.
1. Start making original movies. This remake trend should come to an end. 2. Start making new and original music. 3. Actor's and actress's should reduce their fees for the greater good of the cinema.
Like Kamal Hassan said in one of your roundtables "WATCH MORE INDIAN MOVIES". Even brahmastra which was steeped in indian mythology felt like a movie made by a white guy. I think Indian audience's obsession with hollywood is waning, they want to see more movies based on their culture and sensibilities and for that we need writers and directors coming from that background and not some guy who grew up in bandra, did his studies in new york, only ever watched hollywood movies. You have t know your population before starting making movies for them.
That was because it was going to be Dragon originally when it was initiated and with the later developments in the Indian political environment, the Hindutva wave, they forcefully changed it into Brahmastra just to be able to fit into the latest narrative.
Get South directors to write and direct hindi movies. But the problem is Bollywood stars will be misfits if they have to act in real content movies because real content movies need rural settings sometimes and Bollywood stars not meant for rural stories . They need glamour and something out of Hollywood 🤗
I don't think it's only actors or directors who failed this year audience has also failed this year good movies like Doctor G,An action Hero, Bhediya, Badhai do, Sanjay Mishra's Vadh, Shamshera, Runaway 34 they are good movies and with original content but audience are busy in abusing to the actor and director digging their past comments. Uncchai is also a good movie.
Hello, Pls try to change the background during Ajay's comment. It has become extremely difficult to concentrate on his comments while the background is constantly moving.
Madam, the need of the hour is content more than stars If Bollywood concentrate on these basic things such as story, screenplay, a director who can bring the screenplay written on paper onto screen as effectively as possible and last but not least, the producer, though film making is a business should understand what today's audiences need But the million dollar question is will these things will be implemented
The real problem is films like Pathan earn Rs.500+ Crore, one side we ask for good script, acting, different subjects on other hand a film where everyone acts poorly except john abraham, no script,poor VFX still it manages to earn so much which raised a lot of question.
It's a cycle. Not all South movies are good. They make nearly 1000 movies and only 5-10 succeed. Bollywood needs to get back to what it was doing pre-pandemic. The "hate" we see is a trend. Algorithm likes it. Hate without nuance is easy. So, people come on to various platforms and spew venom as it is selling now. Also, there is this dislike for elites, which again is a cycle..it will go. But, slight course correction is necessary for Bollywood. It cannot solely thrive on star power and silliness.
Agree 👌 I see people say "I hate Bollywood" and when you ask them why? They come up with actors' names in order to justify their hate. Some of these people don't know much about South Indian actors. They will give you one or two popular names. Some haven't even watched hit movies like PS1, Pushpa etc. It's "cool" to hate Bollywood movies and actors and that's why they are hating it. Also, Bollywood came out with some really bad movies during and after pandemic...so that's also there.

Please give more exposures to the actors coming from theater backgrounds. Its so tiring to see these nepotism kids coming up with no talent at all, plus the already pool of talentless actors we have stocked up already!
Unless and until the Hindi speaking audience of Hindi heartland comes back to cinemas like in pre Covid era, Bollywood will not survive Sadly Hindi belt are more inclined to South dubbed movies as well as Propoganda movies
There is already a saturation in area of Hindi belt gangster stories and Delhi based crime thrillers. Most of the urban viewers, especially non native Hindi speakers do not really connect with expletive ridden Western UP lingo. Romantic love stories has decent market, as films are stil means of escapism. But has to shed cheesy elements, and overdose of Punjabi elements.
It's not that Bollywood is making bad movies or south is making good movies all of a sudden. It is a simple fact that, earlier southern language movies were not released in Hindi, so there was no competition for Bollywood. The original movies are available on OTT and Hindi dubbed, so a movie like Jersey also didn't work. The same movie would have done amazing business if it was released in 2019 without a dubbed version available on UA-cam
Hindi movies, also known as Bollywood films, have been facing challenges in terms of box office performance in recent years. One of the main reasons for this is the increased competition from Hollywood and regional cinema. With the rise of streaming platforms, audiences have access to a wider variety of content, making it harder for Bollywood films to stand out. Another factor that contributes to the decline in the performance of Hindi movies in theaters is the proliferation of cheap criticism on social media. Many people who post reviews online do not have a deep understanding of film-making technique and the business of filmmaking. As a result, their reviews may not be accurate or objective, and can potentially harm a film's reputation. Additionally, the rise of social media has given a platform for people who may not have any knowledge about film-making but have a strong opinion about it. However, it's important to note that despite these challenges, Bollywood continues to produce a significant number of films each year and has a dedicated fanbase. Additionally, the industry is making efforts to adapt to the changing landscape by experimenting with new genres and formats, such as web series, and exploring new distribution channels. In conclusion, while Hindi movies are facing challenges in terms of box office performance, the industry is still active and continues to evolve. However, the cheap criticism on social media, by non-competent people, is not good for the growth of good cinema. It is important to have an unbiased and well-informed review of a film to help the industry grow and improve
People's attention span and patience have obviously been diminished in a world where things have become accessible with a click of a finger. To invest one's energy and time in a three hour movie has become an even pricier choice. Why waste money and time when one can easily be entertained in other ways? Bollywood needs to find some PASSION, AUTHENTICITY AND HONESTY. They need to go back to their roots and celebrate what makes India unique and special. The amount of stories which can come from the rich history, culture, heritage and even from the common man of India must surely be enough inspiration for bollywood. Bollywood is victim to the unconscious bias that whatever the West does is the best. The intent of the makers in Bollywood must change - the primary intent must be to have a burning desire to tell a sincere story from the heart. Money will follow. BOLLYWOOD NEEDS TO GO BACK TO ITS BASICS!
Bollywood ko unique movies banana padega duniya m kitne sare gener h jo bollywood kabhi touch bhi nhi krta h kitna insecure h bollywood k ch@# production house
When producers and directors start realising that they have to be responsible and accountable for the budgets and making a good movie . When scripts are not compromised with . Writers are given 200% hike on their salaries and they are given enough credit as much as the directors . That's when we will see a change . Also what baffles me is actors and they are some of the biggest of the stars are not bothered even if 3-4 films of theirs fail consecutively. They believe in making films and they move on . I will state examples of SRK films since I am his fan . 1. When Anand L rai delivered a terrible film why was their no accountability ? How can SRK himself approve such a script ? Who are the people in red chillies who went ahead with the film? And when it fails they claim that it happens in creative process and all that bull shit .no sir if u are making a film with SRK it's a responsibility you have to be accountable . 2. Why did Raees and Dilwale release in a clash ? We already have less screens? Why does bollywood as an industry compete with each other when already making in efficient films ? . Dilwale was terrible and raees was mediocre ? Post that there was no accountability from SRK himself no one sat down to understand why his films were not working . Rohit shetty and rahul dholakia moved on and so did srk . 3. How on earth can srk approve a film like jab Harry met Sejal? It was a terrible film and again srk moved on . No accountability again. 4. If you as an actor don't want to make sure a good product is made why will the audiences support you. I don't care about the rest of the Bollywood but a star like srk making these mistakes frustrates me 🙏🙏🙏
I love everything about Bollywood including all stars nepo or not. But I guess audiences is bored with the stars. They want something fresh face and content.
The bollywood stories are not exciting enough, they are too much about being politically correct and socially relevant instead of actually entertaining .
Well, Bollywood needs to pay writers around 5-10 Crores instead of Lakhs and many will come up with interesting stories and take their profession seriously. They are paying actors too much, no one deserves more than 20 Crores per a movie, not even Khans! If they start budgeting, making movies for less than 100 Crores, stop spending money on publicity, make it on time and come up with original scripts. Trust me, Bollywood will automatically revive. Also, why release movies on OTT after 4 weeks, why not wait at least 6 months? Nobody wants to spend hard-earned money going to the theaters if they know it’s gonna be on an OTT platform after a month. First and foremost, Content is the king, it’s not a rocket science!!
By stopping nepotism. Giving fair chances to good actors and stop looking at Instagram followers as you bench mark to give work to people. And stop shoving movies into people’s face by over-promoting. It works against a film as opposed to work in favor. In the day and age of internet, one does not need to promote. Give work and money to good writers. Invest on the scripts rather on the salaries of big actors.
Bang on Aditya! Let's take Anupama Chopra for example. She is a Hindi movie reviewer that can barely speak Hindi. Even Rishabh Shetty, who is from the south, spoke more and better Hindi than her during the round table.
Proud to be Telugu Bollywood making movies from years they are like losers no one know why why movies they make 😂 Suddenly Term changed from Bollywood to Indian film now
Too much fascinated with Hollywood and no connection with the audience on the ground, uneducated UA-cam reviewers who just want to mock Hindi films and tailor their reviews going by the most liked comments. Over exposure of the stars,too much promotion, preaching to the audience. The new gen stars should work more instead of doing one film a year. Building up a fan base is constant work.
Usual the destroyer is the savior but ultimately he will destroy again, because that’s who he is, he doesn’t know better! Don’t expect the Karan Johar or the YRs to save what they ruined in the first place.
Bollywoood is HINDI film Industry, They must take the HINDI part of it more seriously and try to get over their obsession of Hollywood. Explore new landscapes in India for Shooting films.
Stop copying content from South and foreign films/series. When making a film/series, think about that you're in a world league now because sooner or later that film is gonna be on some OTT platform and you know what OTT does.
@R D Indian 🇮🇳 checkout all videos how many non Hindi people admired Bollywood and how many Hindi people Hates Hindi cinema. We always loved, inspired and learned from Bollywood. Your own Hindi people Hates Hindi cinemas. Why ?🤔 I don't know 🤷
Invest in scriptwriters and scripts. The fact that sensible films and tv series are working on OTT means people do want to see them. So, start from this point. Film producers should not try short cuts just to get people out in the theatres. Obviously, all good films won't work, but it's about setting a habit for audience. If they start expecting good quality from filmmakers ovet the longer tun, they will eventually come. Consistency is the key.
Stop nepotism, bring audition process for all movie roles like Hollywood, take time to come up with compelling and innovative ideas. A movie should be made only when there is a compelling story to tell with a tight script not because the producer and a 50 plus hero wants to make money by making a mediocre movie for a festival season. The Bollywood stars and the starlets need to lose those inflated egos of thinking of them as demigods, learn humility and manners in their daily lives and take audiences feedback seriously by observing the mega stars/stalwarts of the southern Industries. Stop giving the star kids the limelight and Vogue cover page when they have not even done a single film while the real talented ones have to go through casting couch and what not. Also stop Hinduphobia and glorifying other religions through your movies as soft agenda. All religions are equal and deserve equal respect. Give chance to the new talents and stop ending people's career / Lives /Livelihoods because of some personal grudge with a big movie mafia. Learn how to be innovative and tell the story of the soil from someone like SS Rajamouli who single handedly took RRR to Hollywood and nobody complained why it's a 3-hour long movie or why there are so many songs/dances. I know it sounds almost like preaching to the choir, but any change is difficult to begin with. start small and when the people see some value and content, they would like to put their hard-earned money. Bollywood has long taken the Indian audience for granted just like the politicians and trying to sell the old rotten liquor in a new bottle. People are more woke now thanks to OTT and regional movie industries who have been doing great work since long but has always been overshadowed by Bollywood big daddies. So, either prosper or perish!
JUST STOP MAKING REMAKES IF WE CAN WATCH ORIGINAL IN OTT. AND STARTING MAKING ORIGINAL AND INNOVATIVE CONTENT RATHER THAN JUST TRYING TO COPY OTHERS. THE HUGE PROBLEM IS SUPPOSE AS AN EXAMPLE IF ONE BIOPIC WORKS NOW EVERYONE WANTS TO MAKE BIOPIC WITHOUT HAVING PROPER STORY OR EVEN GOOD SCREENPLAY. GOOD ORIGINAL CONTENT WITH RIGHT EXECUTION IS THE WAY TO MOVE FORWARD. AND JUST FOR GOD SAKE STOP MAKING REMAKES (I KNOW DRISHYAM2 WORKED BUT IT WAS A ALREADY FRANCHISE) WE ALL HAVE COME TO A STAGNATION POINT. AUDIENCE WANTS ORIGINAL CONTENT WITH SOME KIND OF SUPRISE PACKED IN IT. AND RIGHT MOW THATS WHAT SOUTH IS DOING.
Reduce songs redo. Bring more original chartbusters. Go through dialogue and the scripts multiple times. Take actors that suit the roles, not just big names. Dig into desi stories, folk tales, indian novels of all languages and make epic movies based on desi stories. Focus on cinematography.
Just make good movies not good trailers for godsake its simple most of the movies released which flopped are a disappointment starts become stars bcz ppl believe in their content trust them not bcz they fell from the sky
Problem with Bollywood is _______! Tell us in the comments!
Bollywood needs to acknowledge the fact that there was a pandemic that changed everything
@@user-hq8wm8giyujcg You talk about nepo as it is exclusive to the Bombay-based industry.
Clearly, you have no idea about the South film industry and its incestuous nature.
Factionism, lack of screenplay writers/ lack of originality/ critics who are friends with industry (you Anupama) and out of touch with people/ movies unrelatable to viewers- disconnect with audience / HIgh salaries of actors / ego / overexposure - no mystery about performers behind the scenes / mass production vs mass appeal / boomer energy of old production houses / insipid music, no focus on BGM and music directors seem disconnected from storyline.
Nepotism and as a result talent not getting a place to shine.
The star culture has gone because Actors are no more connected with the Audience..If you see south actors firstly they are not that exposed and also they have certain rootedness because of which Audience and normal people can relate with them more...On the other hand if you see new Actor , Actresses their lifestyle, interest is something no one can connect..So even when they try to behave like normal people in some interviews that looks fake.. It's fine to live a lifestyle the way you want but if you are a public figure and behave like Hollywood actors , obsessed with them and rather than celebrating Indian festivals more interested in celebrating Halloween people find it weird..I still feel Amir Khan, Akshay Kumar , or Sharukh Khan have some connection and relativeness..You enjoy watching their interviews and their dressing style..Even Actresses like Deepika, Shraddha they still behaves like normal people or talks about relative things and have certain rootedness..Also shows like Koffee with Karan where young actor , actresses only talk about sex, dating , Hollywood obsessions ,with whom they want to hook up creates a lack of respect towards them from Audience..They even openly express they can't or don't like to speak in hindi..Their dresses, way of life , can't speak in hindi attitude is really irritating and Annoying..
I'm a non Indian American who loves the last 5 decades of Indian film. Main Hoon Na was my first Indian film and I felt I'd never seen a movie before watching that. I now watch more Indian films than Hollywood content.
And I've also noticed the change in quality with Bollywood films over the years. So here are my two cents:
1) HEART.
2) MODERNIZE AS MAKES SENSE BUT DON'T WESTERNIZE. I hate it when Bollywood westernizes what should never be westernized. The last thing the world needs is to make everything MORE like "Hollywood" including and especially like western rap style music videos.
That can be boring, not creative, unoriginal, and it's been done to death and wasn't even good in the first place.
Keep what makes Indian culture, stories, themes, struggles, and films unique in all the world. That is what speaks to your fan base, is your great marketing niche locally and globally, AND your strength.
Universal and timeless themes of humanist, human rights, women's and children's rights and social justice themes, yes. "Modernize" in that sense (human rights and themes of needed social improvements) but don't westernize - keep what's great about south Asian culture and traditions and values, and spirituality too.
3) MASALA MUSICALS. Don't get rid of the things that make Indian film so unique like masala musicals. Over the top aspects when it makes a better film (comedy, melodrama, song & dance numbers, music, scenery, set pieces, drama) and other unique ways of story telling.
4) WHERE IS ALI ZAFAR?! That's a giant star and talent right under your nose in ALL AREAS (actor, writer, producer, singer, dancer, composer). He should be huge.
5) WHERE ARE THE GREAT MUSIC, SOUNDTRACKS, & SONG & DANCE NUMBERS and amazing unique choreography Bollywood is world famous for? Farah Khan, Aiyaa, Main Hoon Na, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Dil Se, Don, KANK, Om Shanti Om, Jodah Akbar, films from those eras had amazing music and dance numbers. The more recent Teefah in Trouble was great too.
So much of the newer item numbers look and sound like your average Western music video with western style music, skimpy leotard / swimsuit type outfits for the women, and strip club / rap style dance styles. Find a way to make things fresh but also make them original and keep them Indian.
6) GREAT "BIG" MOVIES - BUT GREAT SMALLER MOVIES TOO. Great simple, original, compelling, well written stories. Well written, directed, acted, filmed movies.
6) Great films that are also FAMILY FRIENDLY. That's a unique strength and are the hallmark of Bollywood's past - great films the whole family can watch, discover and grow as favorite films as family traditions together.
7) Unique, compelling stories that are uniquely regional, Indian / south Asian, Middle West.
8) Newer stars, actors and actresses, AND the "older" ones too (male but especially female) - in starring and/or co-starring and support roles, who we will always love and still want to see: Madhuri Dixit, Kajol, Juhi Chawla, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukherjee, Sushmita Sen, Konkana Sen, Aishwarya, and so many others.
I wish to see East India (Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Sikkim, Jharkand and West Bengal) and West India (Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa) Movies become famous like North and South!!
Exactly especially Assamese, Bangali, Marathi, and Gujarati...
Amen! DAMan movie is the first Odia movie getting dubbed in Hindi and is releasing Pan India on Feb 3rd. A true heartwarming story which is made to a movie. Please watch and give your support just like you all have lent to southern movies.
A good story, A good story telling with conviction...... That is all need.
Actors like Srk, Salman, Hrithik,Ajay, Ranbir Kapoor, Akshay needed to step up. Srk, Hrithik, Ranbir,Ajay sir already started their new innovative ideas in working. I hope Salman sir also will be back with a big blockbuster. Akshay sir needed to raise their movie scales also. Rajkumar rao,Varun, Ayushman they have a great way of selecting script i hope this year their luck click.
I think srk did
Bollywood seems to have forgotten the art of the masala musical, nothing these days evokes the feeling of KKHH or KHNH, or even ZNMD or YJHD for that matter. But I have hope from Jee Le Zaraa and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan. The Akhtars still seem to have some idea of how to do what Rohit Shetty clearly cannot.
One thing is that PATHAN isn't going to change anything even if it does pretty well on the box-office, but it will worsen the condition if it fails to perform well. Let me explain, it's a high budget film featuring superstars, it's already an event film and people know it's gonna be good. But when a small film with new actors and low budget does well on the box-office, then only something will have changed.
Producers will be motivated to try something new and focus on content oriented films. However if PATHAN fails, everyone will be like.. if SRK can't save bollywood even with PATHAN, then nothing can.
If a good story is there in Pathaan..it will work
Even hollywood Low budget movie not work in theaters public want only marvel and avatar types movies b dikkat tumhe sirf indian public m dikhega madrrrrr
@@user-nx8jr1sn4c what if all fail

Just like he saved bollywood in 90s after bachan era was over
Bollywood audience has shifted to OTT..
Ott platforms are investing crores in web series projects in hindi but not in south languages.
Which clearly shows bollywood has huge OTT audience..
One has to understand how south film industry rose to great heights..they made their movies free and dubbed on you tube and cultivated the taste of audience in the world .they created the demand. Production houses mustt train people to write scripts or organise script writing competition. Talented people should be trained further. Bollywood needs to be more collaborative.
@Universe your hypothesis is absolutely garbage, the highest grossing indian movie is still dangal, and it was realised a few years ago only, bollywood has provided with great content and some underwhelming content too, just like south movies, with 2 3 amazing films ,there 10 more "physics fucking" balya type films you know it too. Ji

South films have novelty factor with new faces who display some excellent acting. But they are also rooted. They tell the story of the common man without preaching or looking down. They don't tell a generic story in a generic town. Rather they name the town and the actors adopt that particular accent and look the part and hence very relatable to the core audience of that state. The script writers know the local politics and caste hierarchy. Do Hindi films consider any of that?
@@user-nx8jr1sn4c Pathaan's advance collections are up.. might be the Bollywood's first big hit..
I don’t go to theaters just for content anymore, the film has to be entertaining… and of course it has to have my fav star… so I am assured even film is average I enjoyed it
I am eagerly waiting for jawaan more than pathaan as I feel pathaan tries to be an mission impossible+James bond, while jawaan seems like an Indian masala action film
movies have to be made with love, it is at the end of the day a form of art. viewers can sense when they are pulled towards a gimmick, unfortunately most of the bolly movies are gimmicky with little or no love or even understanding. Pakeezah wasn't made after any consumer study but it was made with love and a genuine ache, the ache to tell a story is missing. all the movies that we now refer as classics were made because the filmmaker had to tell that story and he/she had utmost conviction. now most of the bolly stories are made on a perceived belief system, we feel this is what 'they' want. they as in the ones who are paying the ticket. this formula has failed Bollywood In the last few years. but there is hope as we will always have the genuine storytellers, though they might not have a posh postal address.
Movies should be made with love and passion. But at the end of the day, it's business too. Give your audience what they demand while nudging their tastes towards something different/better quality.
I think Hindi Film industry Should be in UP/Bihar/Delhi with local writers actors and directors with rooted stories. This Bandra based writers and their stories can't connect with North Audience.
Make movies on real Bollywood romance, not fake wannabe tik tok type romance. Onlu true romance can save Bollywood. Cause Bollywood is all about Romance first then comes others. Romance & Comedy, only feel good movies can make Bollywood come back. That is the true reason why we watched movies, to feel good. For good emotional package. I wish Yash Chopra takes a rebirth and comes back to make Bollywood beautiful again 😍
This brings to mind what Karan Johar said in one of his interviews last year. Bollywood film makers has lost their conviction. There was sincerity and Originality in the films that were once made that has been replaced by formulas, remakes and franchises. This success of this template just made people lazy and put most writers and directors in a box. Bollywood needs to take a step back and return to telling proper home grown stories, invest in a new crop of writers, actors and directors and back it with conviction. They've spent too much time depending on the stars that were instead of developing the stars that could be. Anyhu, I'm rooting for Bollywood this year. I hope it can come back with bang
ONLY WRITERS CAN SAVE BOLLYWOOD
GOOD WRITERS AND SENSIBLE DIRECTORS, CONTENT IS THE KING, STARS ARE SECONDARY
Kyuki india k log movie lover nhi h
I had said this many a times ever since the announcement video of Pathaan was launched that Pathaan will rewrite box office history n all records will be broken n it will emerge as the benchmark for Hindi films at the box office and I have been proved right!!! I am so happy as I see Pathaan getting all the love it deserves n do exactly what I had predicted. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. It's the most fun I have had at movies. Oh God!!! This is unbelievable!!!! Shah Rukh Khan has returned as Action God with a personality n heart. Can't wait for #Pathaan2 . ❤👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Make movies based on real inspirational true stories, either on small entrepreneurs who could survive against all odds, or on soldiers who fought valiantly in a hopeless situation,
Anupama, i feel there is a lot of focus on Adult rated content, with a lot of UP , Bihar language, sexual abuse and corruption. As a family , we want content driven family movies! Could be thriller movies like Andhadhun or rom coms with nice music score
Fall of nepotism and propogandist is required to create a good and neutral film industry
#boycottbollywood
I think of the major reason why bollywood movies are not working is CONTENT and it not being that culturally rooted which is what south movies are. The relatability is lost as they make movies where it is urbanised, feels like they are catering only tier 1 cities
Pathaan, Shehzaada, Bholaa, TJMM, Rocky aur Rani, Kisi ka bhai.., jawan... all of these will do good boxoffice numbers.
I just want to see some old school rom-coms, some mid-budget films that offer a pleasant surprise eg Hassee toh phasee
We need to bring back mid budget movies that focus on simpler stories and people...
Wrong 😡 that types of movie now only work on streaming platform.
@@anilkumarjena688 honey, people want to watch those movies and the only place they exist is ott platforms.... But they are low budgets and if they had the tiniest bump of resources i.e. budget, they'll do really well in the theatre....
@@anilkumarjena688 mid budget movies do work if the content is relatable to audience and that audience should be single screen audience.
The mid budget movies made for urban will not work bcz they will prefer watching them in OTT.
Ignoring the Rural/ mass audience is the major concern.
I could think of 4 factors into why I believe Bollywood has struggled so much for the past few years. Just an opinion among many.
1. The pandemic changed how people value their time and money. If the film isn't going to guarantee a 100% must-watch-in-the-theater experience, then why waste your money and time? Anyways, what's the rush to watch a film on the big screen anymore when it'll be on OTT within a month or few? Now I personally think this is a bit of a shame, because it means non-action films or non-mass films will struggle at the box office, even though many of these non-action/mass films do deserve a theatrical release (like Qala or Monica, O My Darling! to name a few).
2. Bollywood/Hindi film music has just been awful for many films in the past few years. Post 2016, only a few Hindi films have delivered a stellar soundtrack or that one hit song. Music was a driving factor in getting people to the theaters. But for some reason (or reasons), Bollywood songs have been just unbearable to listen to for the past few years. I'm not saying that for the past few years all Hindi film soundtracks suck, buuut a good number of them do and that is insane. I personally think this has a lot to do with a lack in bringing new talent and Hindi music losing its Indian roots.
3. There is no denying that there is a social/political level to Hindi films struggling. There is a disconnect between the Bollywood elite and the common Indian. I do think that the nepotism debate has a huge hand to play at how the Hindi film industry is viewed and treated. Now, the debate isn't anything new, but it was brewing for quite some time and hit a peak when covid began. And with OTT being an option, people truly realized "I don't need to give my money to see these elites on the screen, who don't care about "commoners" trying to make it in the industry. I can watch this shit at home for cheap (or even for free!)"
4. This perhaps goes into my first point, but it's insane how many crappy films have been coming out of Bollywood - especially from leading stars. There was a time when if an actor was to be in a film, one could almost guarantee that film would 100% satisfy the audience. But look at the films that some leading stars, like Akshay Kumar or Ranveer Singh, have taken since at least 2020 - most of those films are bad, or average at best. The audience is not going to watch a movie just because a Ranveer Singh or Salman Khan is in it. The film has to be good. I think this has a lot to do with, yes, nepotism, but also just not getting/allowing for new talent to come into Hindi cinema. We'll need new faces both on the screen and behind the screen who have true talent and hard work for many audiences to change how they perceive Bollywood. Current writers and aspiring writers especially have to be motivated and given the right amount of support to change the amount of low quality movies releasing.
Just ORIGINAL CONTENT ..it is must 🙌❤️...we are done with remakes...
As someone who is grown up watching Bollywood films, it is heartbreaking to see this phase of bollywood 💔
Either the films are not working bcauz content is not engaging enough or even if it works (like Drishyam 2) it is a remake... Even though south remakes are successful audience will still not give the full credit to the makers and the actors no matter how good they done there job ...
So let's do something original... it's high time we bring back that old charm of bollywood ❤️
And it doesn't mean just the Angry young man phase but the CONVICTION we had on our stories...
I mean even the Director of KGF 2 said he took inspiration from movies like sholay and other bollywood films...
Mr. S S Rajamouli have mentioned in several interviews how Hindi films have influenced him...
Even though I love south films and i genuinely think they are doing a great job...but it's unfair when people say things like "South have took over and bollywood is over" and such things 🤦...i mean comparisons are just gonna make the whole environment more toxic...
I hope this is just a phase...and anyways many Hindi and south actors and directors are already collaborating with each other....i think soon we are going to break those barriers of Hindi/Marathi/South cinema or regional cinema and it will be an "Indian Cinema" 🙌😍
Let's hope for a better future not just for bollywood but for a whole Film industry 🤞❤️
When I think of my biggest memories of indian cinema, 90 percent of it comes from the music. And that basically doesn't exist today. The legacy of art people like Lataji left us has been abandoned.
So true 💯
Messaging should be in the movie , Messaging should not be the movie.
SIMPLE give new people the chances to WRITE AND DIRECT other than the already established and who went away from people interest with their content.
coz here in the industry like Kollywood and mollywood people consistently change and every fresh contents changes & creator of those as well in 3-5years of gaps which is why we able to reach any masses.
with tollywood they able to give chances to the established creators the big budget and allow them to give content to globalize it from their root.
and we know how sandalwood is entering into this game now!
wakeup plz bollywood.
That you think that's the biggest film industry in India... why is it a full blown crisis if films from other languages are doing well? Arent we past the "regional and Hindi" yet? Why is always the "Us and them" ?
Excellent content should be the only focus. Earlier people used to go to cinema halls to see the stars but now due to their overexposure on social media, audience would go to cinema halls only if the content is excellent. Just ‘good’ is not enough because there is lot of good stuff to watch on OTT already. Blaming corporate production houses does not make any sense. South stars are not overexposed on social media plus the translated dubbing is getting better and better with each movie. So there certainly is novelty factor intact with these movies. Also, they have some new stories to tell like Kantara, Drishyam, KGF, etc.
Kyuki india k log movie lover nhi h inko sirf superstar ki movie se mtlb hota h
dusri baat bollywood hamesa superstar k sath big budget movie banata h isliye fail ho jata h
‘Humility’I totally agree with you on this. Well said. What else? Hmm maybe Karan Johar needs to step away and vanish into obscurity. I feel he is still omnipresent with the media tied-in industry, and somehow it’s putting a gloomy ‘Bandra’ curse on the industry. He’s intelligent and all with good business insight but I don’t think the audiences have recovered from the SSR-Kangana nepotistic debacle. I think his disappearance and letting go of industry control will open the door to new air of changes. I don’t know, just a thought.
Three suggestions-
(a) try to eliminate the incestuous nature of Bollywood
(b) think local stories, act global treatment
(b) diversify supply chain into other parts of India (as well as the world)
Once regional movies faced tough competition from hindi cinema but look now what has happened....this phenomenon bollywood never imagined in their dreams. They filled their pockets by doing remakes and still pretending to be a king of Indian cinema.... 😂
To answer the last question, I think Bollywood has begun to overproduce films for the sake of making films - but what we as an audience want is films that are made with conviction and passion, with a captivating story , well developed script, compelling characters, and a film we will be happy to rewatch again and again. we are missing the superstar quality we had of the 90s-2000s, so as an audience we feel less faith in newcomer actors who are signing to poorly written scripts and way too many movies . That being said, I really believe like SRK said- he is the last of the stars , if Bollywood doesn’t jump back at the box office with Pathaan (which it will !) , Bollywood writers need to get back to the drawing board of what makes a film TIMELESS and compelling- rather than simply instragramable
I agree that movies should be made with passion. But I rather doubt we'll find anything original in Pathan. The director is too much in awe of Hollywood. Sadly SRK seems to be the last of the superstars.
For remakes , I would suggest to remake the war classic’ Haqeeqat’ maybe by some one like Amir khan
Not a native so my opinion doesn't really count, but I just want to say stop it with the remakes. Especially with streaming kicking down the wall between movies from various regions and making it easier for people to watch a Vikram Vedha when it came out in 2017, expecting them to be excited enough for the same movie again in 2022 to make back a vastly bigger budget seems completely ridiculous to me.
SRK has been missing. KJO and SRK combo is missing. LOve stories are missing. None of the kids or teenagers these days can say that they are inspired by movies. When we were growing up in the 90's, we learnt rmance watching SRK and Kajol in Aditya Chopra Movies and KJo movies. We learnt how to woo gals and fall in love, and respect gals because of teh movies. Now there is nothing that can ignite such emotions. Hppegfully SRK this year can deliver the goods and inspire us again
Sir, a man in his late 50's will not look good romancing on screen. Romance suits young people.
Be happy kids are not inspired by movies.. don’t regret.. woo girls today fall love u don’t need movie. When u reach age it ll happen by itself..
I hope SRK delivers with his movies. He is the last Bollywood actor to which there is some sense of attachment within pubic.
If there is so much attachment or some attachment I don't know why his movies were struggling at the box office.
@@gudduentertains because movies don't work on attachment to star. There should be a proper story. All I'm saying is he is the last actor for which audience is excited. All of his even flop films has got good opening than any other movie.
Hope you got your answer Mike.
1. Just look at the Top 6 grossers you listed. That list tells you everything you need to know about what the audience wants.
Q - after Brahmastra, what is the next highest grossing Bollywood film?
2. Stop making every film song a banger,a party song, or something with dhol! When you go to Hindi karaoke, no one sings any songs from the past 5-10 years because there are not songs, they are party anthems. Instead they dance to them at wedding receptions and nightclubs.
3. The fact that South films are releasing in Hindi dub in Hindi belt theaters, TV, and OTT means that Bollywood has competition, not that South films are better.
4. Unfortunately the typical South film has more misogyny, patriarchy, machismo than Bollywood, and unfortunately that speaks to the Hindi Belt (though their flavors of misogyny, patriarchy, machismo are different), hence average South films would do better up there.
5. Movies like GoW and especially Sonchirya were ahead of their time and would do even better today.
6. Tell Akshay Kumar to stop releasing 1 crappy movie per month! He is single handedly taking down Bollywood as a Brand and turning it into the laughing stock of India. He should release max 4 films per year, and each script should have enough time for rewrites.
7. For north Indians, south films are essentially north films without the baggage of known stars, so they can enjoy a film as a film itself. If you had cast those South films with only Bollywood actors as leads, they wouldn't have done as well in box office because they come with star baggage and branding. Similarly, the reverse is also not true - see Liger for proof. This means you need to cultivate a fresh crop of Bollywood actors. Karan Johar understood this when he made SOTY. But that was a decade ago - who is doing this now?
8. With the exception of Dhadak, Jhanvi Kapoor has only been doing solo projects her entire career so far. This looks like the height of nepotism. While she might be talented, the right to command such a significant portion of Bollywood output, solo and so soon, hasn't been earned. Hence the cry against nepotism. By contrast, aside from Highway (which was essentially an art film), Alia Bhatt did a number of rom coms and multi starrers until she finally made Raazi. Samantha did the same until her solo Hey Baby. Rashmika has still only made rom coms and multi starrers. And who needs a Mili when Helen is already organically a wonderful film and is available dubbed in Hindi? At least Good Luck Jerry is steeped in its north east milieu.
9. It doesn't matter if it's urban or rural, rich or poor - if you give Amitabh Bachchan a chance to genuinely act (in interesting stories) instead of just play the grandfather, ppl will show up for it. Piku, Badla, and Pink were genuinely successful films and would still be today.
10. War was a genuine hit and would still be in the today, it might have equaled or bested Brahmastra if it released in 2022. People want to see money and effort onscreen, by the actors and by the production side.
11. You need rom coms, romances, love triangles, and multistarrers to build your next generation of actors and actresses, because that's what they cut their teeth on in developing their acting skills. They also bond the audience with the stars. Again KJo understood this with SOTY followed by the mid-2010s rom com revival.
12. You need fresh blood behind the camera. The leading producers, directors, and casting directors can't still be the same ones from the '90s & '00s. They were fresh then but stale now, and they turn to the familiar stars instead of grooming new actors.
13. Bahubali was a precursor to what's happening today. It taught the global Indian audience that they can expect original rooted and historical storytelling that feels more like a Hollywood production, with excellent screenplays, and didn't require known (to all) actors to put butts in seats.
12. If the '90s-'10s were about modernizing the subject matter, the acting styles, and the millieu of Indian films, the next 20+ years will be about bringing modern technicraft of filmmaking to increasingly Indian stories and milieu.
13. At least at the multiplexes, if you bring down the ticket price for midbudget films, while keeping them high for expensive projects, families will still come out to theaters for midbudget films. But you need to bring the ticket price down low enough to make it affordable for families.
@@user-nx8jr1sn4c you are right, I didn't discuss aspect ratios, color grading, or other "film making aspects", my bad. But I don't waste my time ranting, all of my opinions are well considered. Meanwhile, your reply to my post is literally a rant against my post, and literally offers zero solutions, not even the "film making aspect" solutions that you claim my post lacks . See how that works? ;)
Instead, how about you post your opinions on the core topic instead? If you have any genuine suggestions on "film making aspects", then I am sure we would all like to read them. :)
@@user-nx8jr1sn4c I don't recall you hurting my feelings lol, interesting attempt at gaslighting me though. If you posted your original comments on the top line, all you have to do is say so - the weird "it's not my fault" comment is unnecessary because most people don't typically memorize all the comments on a UA-cam video, and certainly not the userids of who posted each comment. I'll def try to find yours to see what you have to say about film making techniques and how they can save the industry!
SRK AND MANI RATNAM film by both of them together would be kickass to witness ❤
Great Idea!
1st ask your bollywood directors like ANURAG to direct KOllywood films with thalapathy vijay,suriya and vijay sethupathi ,APARJITH VIKRAM as film lead
Want use our Directors in BOLLYWOOD but dont want to DIRECT KOLLYWOOD FILMS
HOW COME you guys dont direct KOLLYWOOD FILMS but want kollywood to direct bollywood films
LoL! Pathan & Jawan will most probably flop.
you dont give 250 crore to kollywood films but you want kollywood to give success to bollywood
even to VIKRAM FILM it did not get 250 crore in north india but
why should kollywood give bollywood hits
bollywood's big budget movies have become clueless and dumb. Most of the movies lacks stories and emotion. Just cheap jokes can not win the audiences. Telegu, tamil flim industries are shining cause they have everything and most important thing is they build up the character and put them in a story which really has a heart.
And for fiction, we should make low budget whodunnit - maybe adaptations from Indian authors
1. Content should be so compelling that viewers can't wait for it to release on ott. (kantara)
2. Excellent big screen cinematic experience. NOT cartoonish, cheap, hurriedly done, vfx.
Audience are more than forgiving. Bollywood should stop living in bubble of stars, and listen to audience feedback.
1. Start making original movies. This remake trend should come to an end.
2. Start making new and original music.
3. Actor's and actress's should reduce their fees for the greater good of the cinema.
Like Kamal Hassan said in one of your roundtables "WATCH MORE INDIAN MOVIES". Even brahmastra which was steeped in indian mythology felt like a movie made by a white guy. I think Indian audience's obsession with hollywood is waning, they want to see more movies based on their culture and sensibilities and for that we need writers and directors coming from that background and not some guy who grew up in bandra, did his studies in new york, only ever watched hollywood movies. You have t know your population before starting making movies for them.
That was because it was going to be Dragon originally when it was initiated and with the later developments in the Indian political environment, the Hindutva wave, they forcefully changed it into Brahmastra just to be able to fit into the latest narrative.
Get South directors to write and direct hindi movies. But the problem is Bollywood stars will be misfits if they have to act in real content movies because real content movies need rural settings sometimes and Bollywood stars not meant for rural stories . They need glamour and something out of Hollywood 🤗
I don't think it's only actors or directors who failed this year audience has also failed this year good movies like Doctor G,An action Hero, Bhediya, Badhai do, Sanjay Mishra's Vadh, Shamshera, Runaway 34 they are good movies and with original content but audience are busy in abusing to the actor and director digging their past comments. Uncchai is also a good movie.
Hello, Pls try to change the background during Ajay's comment. It has become extremely difficult to concentrate on his comments while the background is constantly moving.
Madam, the need of the hour is content more than stars
If Bollywood concentrate on these basic things such as story, screenplay, a director who can bring the screenplay written on paper onto screen as effectively as possible and last but not least, the producer, though film making is a business should understand what today's audiences need
But the million dollar question is will these things will be implemented
The real problem is films like Pathan earn Rs.500+ Crore, one side we ask for good script, acting, different subjects on other hand a film where everyone acts poorly except john abraham, no script,poor VFX still it manages to earn so much which raised a lot of question.
More Zoya Akthar movies. For me it is probably the only thing worth going to the theatre for.
It's a cycle. Not all South movies are good. They make nearly 1000 movies and only 5-10 succeed. Bollywood needs to get back to what it was doing pre-pandemic. The "hate" we see is a trend. Algorithm likes it. Hate without nuance is easy. So, people come on to various platforms and spew venom as it is selling now. Also, there is this dislike for elites, which again is a cycle..it will go. But, slight course correction is necessary for Bollywood. It cannot solely thrive on star power and silliness.
Agree 👌 I see people say "I hate Bollywood" and when you ask them why? They come up with actors' names in order to justify their hate. Some of these people don't know much about South Indian actors. They will give you one or two popular names. Some haven't even watched hit movies like PS1, Pushpa etc. It's "cool" to hate Bollywood movies and actors and that's why they are hating it. Also, Bollywood came out with some really bad movies during and after pandemic...so that's also there.
@@dubpriya
Bollywood is based at Mumbai , Maharashtra still you rarely find leading Marathi actor in Bollywood film . This is also true for Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar .
It's Punjabi Nepotism every where . Bollywood needs to suppress Punjabi Nepotism if they want to be successfull .

@@pankajk4873 bollywood is shit worst industry in the world
Good content can save Bollywood. People of Bollywood must step out of their Bubble.
It's not even about bollywood. People just have no money post-pandemic due to unemployment and other factors.
And therefore, they're more likely to spend on a south indian masala flick because those are unlike what we see in the hindi belt.
Bring back rom coms and lots of great imax 3d content visual spectacle like in RRR
Very interesting insights... Thank you!
Please give more exposures to the actors coming from theater backgrounds.
Its so tiring to see these nepotism kids coming up with no talent at all, plus the already pool of talentless actors we have stocked up already!
Unless and until the Hindi speaking audience of Hindi heartland comes back to cinemas like in pre Covid era, Bollywood will not survive
Sadly Hindi belt are more inclined to South dubbed movies as well as Propoganda movies
There is already a saturation in area of Hindi belt gangster stories and Delhi based crime thrillers. Most of the urban viewers, especially non native Hindi speakers do not really connect with expletive ridden Western UP lingo.
Romantic love stories has decent market, as films are stil means of escapism. But has to shed cheesy elements, and overdose of Punjabi elements.
The audience is also at fault. They are being too harsh towards Bollywood and blindly supporting other films.
It's not that Bollywood is making bad movies or south is making good movies all of a sudden. It is a simple fact that, earlier southern language movies were not released in Hindi, so there was no competition for Bollywood. The original movies are available on OTT and Hindi dubbed, so a movie like Jersey also didn't work. The same movie would have done amazing business if it was released in 2019 without a dubbed version available on UA-cam
Hindi movies, also known as Bollywood films, have been facing challenges in terms of box office performance in recent years. One of the main reasons for this is the increased competition from Hollywood and regional cinema. With the rise of streaming platforms, audiences have access to a wider variety of content, making it harder for Bollywood films to stand out.
Another factor that contributes to the decline in the performance of Hindi movies in theaters is the proliferation of cheap criticism on social media. Many people who post reviews online do not have a deep understanding of film-making technique and the business of filmmaking. As a result, their reviews may not be accurate or objective, and can potentially harm a film's reputation. Additionally, the rise of social media has given a platform for people who may not have any knowledge about film-making but have a strong opinion about it.
However, it's important to note that despite these challenges, Bollywood continues to produce a significant number of films each year and has a dedicated fanbase. Additionally, the industry is making efforts to adapt to the changing landscape by experimenting with new genres and formats, such as web series, and exploring new distribution channels.
In conclusion, while Hindi movies are facing challenges in terms of box office performance, the industry is still active and continues to evolve. However, the cheap criticism on social media, by non-competent people, is not good for the growth of good cinema. It is important to have an unbiased and well-informed review of a film to help the industry grow and improve
Writers over stars, new, exciting content over remakes and formula-ridden flicks...
People's attention span and patience have obviously been diminished in a world where things have become accessible with a click of a finger. To invest one's energy and time in a three hour movie has become an even pricier choice. Why waste money and time when one can easily be entertained in other ways? Bollywood needs to find some PASSION, AUTHENTICITY AND HONESTY. They need to go back to their roots and celebrate what makes India unique and special. The amount of stories which can come from the rich history, culture, heritage and even from the common man of India must surely be enough inspiration for bollywood. Bollywood is victim to the unconscious bias that whatever the West does is the best. The intent of the makers in Bollywood must change - the primary intent must be to have a burning desire to tell a sincere story from the heart. Money will follow. BOLLYWOOD NEEDS TO GO BACK TO ITS BASICS!
Bollywood ko unique movies banana padega duniya m kitne sare gener h jo bollywood kabhi touch bhi nhi krta h kitna insecure h bollywood k ch@# production house
When producers and directors start realising that they have to be responsible and accountable for the budgets and making a good movie .
When scripts are not compromised with . Writers are given 200% hike on their salaries and they are given enough credit as much as the directors . That's when we will see a change .
Also what baffles me is actors and they are some of the biggest of the stars are not bothered even if 3-4 films of theirs fail consecutively. They believe in making films and they move on .
I will state examples of SRK films since I am his fan .
1. When Anand L rai delivered a terrible film why was their no accountability ? How can SRK himself approve such a script ? Who are the people in red chillies who went ahead with the film? And when it fails they claim that it happens in creative process and all that bull shit .no sir if u are making a film with SRK it's a responsibility you have to be accountable .
2. Why did Raees and Dilwale release in a clash ? We already have less screens? Why does bollywood as an industry compete with each other when already making in efficient films ? .
Dilwale was terrible and raees was mediocre ? Post that there was no accountability from SRK himself no one sat down to understand why his films were not working . Rohit shetty and rahul dholakia moved on and so did srk .
3. How on earth can srk approve a film like jab Harry met Sejal? It was a terrible film and again srk moved on . No accountability again.
4. If you as an actor don't want to make sure a good product is made why will the audiences support you. I don't care about the rest of the Bollywood but a star like srk making these mistakes frustrates me 🙏🙏🙏
Because bollywood is worst industry in the world
I love everything about Bollywood including all stars nepo or not. But I guess audiences is bored with the stars. They want something fresh face and content.
The bollywood stories are not exciting enough, they are too much about being politically correct and socially relevant instead of actually entertaining .
Smartest is the pvr executive ---conneting with youth and trends by bringing anime movies
Anime is cheesy
@@raja-jl9os looks like someone didn't keep up with the trends
@@nikhilsoren3107 just like indian movies 😂
Well, Bollywood needs to pay writers around 5-10 Crores instead of Lakhs and many will come up with interesting stories and take their profession seriously. They are paying actors too much, no one deserves more than 20 Crores per a movie, not even Khans! If they start budgeting, making movies for less than 100 Crores, stop spending money on publicity, make it on time and come up with original scripts. Trust me, Bollywood will automatically revive. Also, why release movies on OTT after 4 weeks, why not wait at least 6 months? Nobody wants to spend hard-earned money going to the theaters if they know it’s gonna be on an OTT platform after a month. First and foremost, Content is the king, it’s not a rocket science!!
Bhai pandemic se pahle bhi movie flop hoti thi saal m sirf kuch hi movie hit ho pati h
people of this country are facing bigger problems, people are unemployed or under threat. watching films is not a priority i guess
By stopping nepotism. Giving fair chances to good actors and stop looking at Instagram followers as you bench mark to give work to people. And stop shoving movies into people’s face by over-promoting. It works against a film as opposed to work in favor. In the day and age of internet, one does not need to promote. Give work and money to good writers. Invest on the scripts rather on the salaries of big actors.
problem with bollywood is that especially with new gen is that most of them think and speak in English...
Bang on Aditya! Let's take Anupama Chopra for example. She is a Hindi movie reviewer that can barely speak Hindi. Even Rishabh Shetty, who is from the south, spoke more and better Hindi than her during the round table.
Not that I've seen it, or intend to, but didn't Kashmir Files become a blockbuster, making 5xs the amount back???
Deep introspection and drastic change- Thats my advice as well to Vinod Chopra Films next time they seek to lecture Hindus through their movies.
Proud to be Telugu
Bollywood making movies from years they are like losers no one know why why movies they make 😂
Suddenly Term changed from Bollywood to Indian film now
Too much fascinated with Hollywood and no connection with the audience on the ground, uneducated UA-cam reviewers who just want to mock Hindi films and tailor their reviews going by the most liked comments. Over exposure of the stars,too much promotion, preaching to the audience. The new gen stars should work more instead of doing one film a year. Building up a fan base is constant work.
Pathaan blockbuster ❤
Bollywood should go back to learn making movies from south
Usual the destroyer is the savior but ultimately he will destroy again, because that’s who he is, he doesn’t know better! Don’t expect the Karan Johar or the YRs to save what they ruined in the first place.
Bollywoood is HINDI film Industry, They must take the HINDI part of it more seriously and try to get over their obsession of Hollywood. Explore new landscapes in India for Shooting films.
Stop creating clishee love stories, women objectification item dance, toxic relationships...give stories more rooted with Indian culture..
Stop copying content from South and foreign films/series. When making a film/series, think about that you're in a world league now because sooner or later that film is gonna be on some OTT platform and you know what OTT does.
@R D Indian 🇮🇳 checkout all videos how many non Hindi people admired Bollywood and how many Hindi people Hates Hindi cinema.
We always loved, inspired and learned from Bollywood.
Your own Hindi people Hates Hindi cinemas. Why ?🤔 I don't know 🤷
Pathaan
Jawan
Dunki
Invest in scriptwriters and scripts. The fact that sensible films and tv series are working on OTT means people do want to see them. So, start from this point. Film producers should not try short cuts just to get people out in the theatres. Obviously, all good films won't work, but it's about setting a habit for audience. If they start expecting good quality from filmmakers ovet the longer tun, they will eventually come. Consistency is the key.
Scripts from south may save it
Stop copying, remaking, remixing....be realistic
Jawan
Stop nepotism, bring audition process for all movie roles like Hollywood, take time to come up with compelling and innovative ideas. A movie should be made only when there is a compelling story to tell with a tight script not because the producer and a 50 plus hero wants to make money by making a mediocre movie for a festival season. The Bollywood stars and the starlets need to lose those inflated egos of thinking of them as demigods, learn humility and manners in their daily lives and take audiences feedback seriously by observing the mega stars/stalwarts of the southern Industries. Stop giving the star kids the limelight and Vogue cover page when they have not even done a single film while the real talented ones have to go through casting couch and what not. Also stop Hinduphobia and glorifying other religions through your movies as soft agenda. All religions are equal and deserve equal respect. Give chance to the new talents and stop ending people's career / Lives /Livelihoods because of some personal grudge with a big movie mafia. Learn how to be innovative and tell the story of the soil from someone like SS Rajamouli who single handedly took RRR to Hollywood and nobody complained why it's a 3-hour long movie or why there are so many songs/dances. I know it sounds almost like preaching to the choir, but any change is difficult to begin with. start small and when the people see some value and content, they would like to put their hard-earned money. Bollywood has long taken the Indian audience for granted just like the politicians and trying to sell the old rotten liquor in a new bottle. People are more woke now thanks to OTT and regional movie industries who have been doing great work since long but has always been overshadowed by Bollywood big daddies. So, either prosper or perish!
JUST STOP MAKING REMAKES IF WE CAN WATCH ORIGINAL IN OTT.
AND STARTING MAKING ORIGINAL AND INNOVATIVE CONTENT RATHER THAN JUST TRYING TO COPY OTHERS.
THE HUGE PROBLEM IS SUPPOSE AS AN EXAMPLE IF ONE BIOPIC WORKS NOW EVERYONE WANTS TO MAKE BIOPIC WITHOUT HAVING PROPER STORY OR EVEN GOOD SCREENPLAY.
GOOD ORIGINAL CONTENT WITH RIGHT EXECUTION IS THE WAY TO MOVE FORWARD.
AND JUST FOR GOD SAKE STOP MAKING REMAKES
(I KNOW DRISHYAM2 WORKED BUT IT WAS A ALREADY FRANCHISE)
WE ALL HAVE COME TO A STAGNATION POINT.
AUDIENCE WANTS ORIGINAL CONTENT WITH SOME KIND OF SUPRISE PACKED IN IT.
AND RIGHT MOW THATS WHAT SOUTH IS DOING.
Just stop making remakes..
Madam you blocked me on Twitter
Just want to know what for
Aren’t you part of the Bandra crowd? 😂😂😂 the irony.. or maybe hill road crowd to be more precise.
Reduce songs redo. Bring more original chartbusters. Go through dialogue and the scripts multiple times. Take actors that suit the roles, not just big names. Dig into desi stories, folk tales, indian novels of all languages and make epic movies based on desi stories. Focus on cinematography.
Hindi movie scripts need to improve! Even pathaan script was laughable! Great vistas and beautiful people but very weak story..
Just like kgf 2
Can’t believe all top 5 are different languages. 😢
And that's sad why? It's about time that films from other languages shine and get their due.
We want Kashmir files...not shiittti Anupama reviews
Just make good movies not good trailers for godsake its simple most of the movies released which flopped are a disappointment starts become stars bcz ppl believe in their content trust them not bcz they fell from the sky
Madam kashmir files ka naam kyu nahi leti ho 😆😆
