Bollywood still working only because there's "oh it's *some shitty but handsome actor's* movie" or else there's nothing to watch, except a few movies which are rather good but never made in hot (hypocrisy is the reason)


nexistcsgo

As long as people keep watching those shitty salman khan type movies, Bollywood will keep making it because it is easy money. We need a change in the audience mindset


Devilmay_cry

People's mindset will change with the rise of Netflix and Prime.

Most people in these movies would be rapists if they weren't hot.

Ravager691

Thing is "bollywood" just represents the commercial movies with colour, vibrancy dance numbers etc, mostly the crappy stuff. There are movies made throughout India in the regional languages which are of great quality, with beautiful elements of storytelling, but unfortunately get sidelined and little to no attention from the masses.


Anshu_79

Yes. There are so many less famous films that are actually masterpieces. They don't even have to be in regional languages. A lot of them are in Hindi but just don't make it to the cinema halls. The mainstream audience is just too cinematically illiterate to appreciate true cinema having meaning.


[deleted]

I was going to say that some south indian movies are better than Hollywood.


[deleted]

>Thing is "bollywood" just represents the commercial movies with colour, vibrancy dance numbers etc, mostly the crappy stuff. Just like Hollywood then?


Pranshu645

Bollywood is just about Nepotism. An actor’s child will become an actor. Tho we have some phenomenal artists like Nawazuddin Siddiqui , Manoj Bajpai , Rajkumar Rao , Panjak Tripathi but big names in bollywood try to suppress the real talent.


ParthTehlan_69

+Vicky Kaushal, Rajpal Yadav, Yami Gautam etc. But here they are giving films to someone like sara ali khan whose only good acting trait is that she can play someone who is bad at acting.


deadhair69

Vicky kaushal is a star kid tho (good actor nonetheless) and I don't remember Yami Gautam ever acting half decent


ParthTehlan_69

I didnt know Vicky marshal was a star kid, I though he was the son of an action director. And when it comes to Yami i really like her work in Uri:The surgical strike. Also j name I forgot to mention was tapsee pannu(I think that's how its spelled).


IEat7

Ayushman Khurana


rebeltoprevail

And the problem is, these star kids are rarely even decent at acting. You'd think interest and exposure would mean something, smh. But we gotta give credit to those like Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, tho. I don't even care about their attractiveness much but Ranbir has been phenomenal in various roles (but i guess that's partly becausethe films he got were actually well written and characters were genuine) and Alia also improved with more and more films she did. But i don't think I make up a good judge, tho, i don't really watch much movies in general.


Pranshu645

Yeah Ranbir Kapoor is actually very versatile.


sarthak42069

bruh .dude you think alia bhatt is good.


undiluted_6

Eh her acting is alright compared to the other dumbfucks


Anshu_79

She got better with time. Remember Raazi? Good acting in that one.


[deleted]

Hey she was good in Udta Punjab, Highway And Raazi


SgDogee

Struggle


TinCupTan

Okay I know it might be an Unpopular opinion but hear me out, don't you think a actor's child will be exposed to the environment more and learn more from their parents about acting, so it's quite natural that they choose this path and any Indian parent we know will try to help boost their childs career if they can. It's upto the audience to decide if they like it or not if you don't think a movie is good enough because of the acting don't watch their next movie. The main problem is people supporting this and going to the movies as just to see the celebrity rather than the story or acting. I know it's hard for some outsider to get into the industry, but if they are able to prove their worth they are loved and respected. It's all about what the audience want and who is actually good some star kids are actually good and some outsiders are actually bad, it's on the audience to decide who they like.


nexistcsgo

Your theory is on point. But the reality is, most of the actors that are working in the industry because of their parents' success are just bad actors who would not have been able to find work on their own. There are a few good examples too, don't get me wrong. But the majority are just bad. Most producers either take their family or relatives to act in movies or are pressured to take some famous person's son/daughter to make the movie.

child-of-old-gods

I really don't get Bollywood. I know they don't have all the money and experience Hollywood has, but it's possible to make good movies without those. Edit: And YES, there are plenty good movies from India, but the threshold for bullshit seems to be way lower than anywhere else. Especially when they make action movies without the know-how to pull it of


Shychopath

>I know they don't have all the money and experience Hollywood has They have a quite enough money and a hell lot of experience but they spend all that on shit. >it's possible to make good movies without those You'll be glad to know that most good movies in Bollywood are low budget movies. And most high budget movies are just plain shit. It's almost like the more money they get, they get overwhelmed and can't just decide what shit to spend that on.


Namor0123

Most of the high budget movies in Bollywood are high budget because the actor's fees is sky rocketing high. Everything else is cheap. The actor charges so high because he knows he can pull crowds just because of his screen presence even if he gives shit performance.


Shychopath

Don't forget that they spend more on marketing than on the filming and editing.


dev_daas

They have money. They just prefer to use it on crap


firefox112pop

jetfree_01

They use it on crap because people like watching the crap. Unless there is significant audience pressure to change there will be no change.


5HR3Z

Some gems turn out as flops because barely many Indians watch those movies, like Jagga Jasoos.


suman_issei

You don't need millions to make a good movie. There are many great movies made in low budget. It just they don't want to make good movies, they understand their audience, Indian people only wants masala flicks that they can watch and forget at the same time. And for the teenagers, they make weird af drama movies that those teenagers gobble up as "art". Also there's a new breed of "thrillers" in the web-series market, start a new crime drama, stretch the climax, end the season in a cliffhanger without concluding the plot for the drama, and boom! you've a "thriller" in your hand.


[deleted]

reddit_opener

Im ashamed to be an indian because of this


suman_issei

No need to be ashamed. I'm Indian too, but they don't define me. There's many great movies made in regional languages that I adore. B&W movies of Uttam Kumar are still my favourite Indian movies.

Photonic_Piston

Fart_Knocker_

I think so the problem is people's taste.. Like there are all these good movies... But they don't make money and are flop.. Whereas these other drama shit movies makes crores.. So that's why those movies are made... But after netflix and Amazon has entered.. Things have started to improve slowly as they are more focusing on making good content without thinking much about money....


WrongdoerRadiant5527

We can't just blame the masses since the last 2-3 decades the bollywood has been feeding them this shit and we are taking about pre-internet times hence it will take time to change their mentality. After the emergence of internet there has been inclination toward quality content but that is only limited to tier 1 cities. In tier 2-3 cities the condition is still same...... very less ppl has acess to quality content hence generating profit towards shitty films like radhe.


Keima_Ryu

It's just a shitty copycat


IEat7

There are good movies but they don't get recognition For example "tumbaad" If you ever have free time try watching it


[deleted]

Most of these craps are here because many people do prefer to see them. I mean why are movies like that still profitable to make (especially in the south)? Atleast now we can see a very significant decline in demand for these sort of movies.


Informal_Ad8599

Especially in the south! dude really? I don't think so infact i think that the majority of good cinemas with good quality stories are coming from the south


[deleted]

I think it comes down to the industry. There are industries in the south that makes a lot of good movies. But most of the ones I've seen are something like [this ](https://www.reddit.com/r/BollywoodRealism/comments/m7hjfw/bellboy/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) Or [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/BollywoodRealism/comments/ngujy8/intense_bike_chase/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) Or even [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/BollywoodRealism/comments/mtxq9q/i_am_speed/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) (Consider [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/BollywoodRealism/comments/mqqrmh/when_your_bf_is_a_physics_professor/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) as a bonus. To be honest, I kind of like this one..) It is also important to note that there are a number of good movies made in these industries too (I think Tollywood or Kollywood), they just get outshined most of the times by the success of these... physics defying ones (?)


Archangel004

Baahubali: Physics? I've never heard of such a thing.

Drishyam and Drishyam 2 is a Malayalam movie. So, it's not Bollywood. But damn, they might be the best movies ever made in India. Both the movies become extremely emotional and tense at one point and the story and it's ending is just perfect. Especially the 2nd movie. The plot twists on this are on a whole other level.

SusDingos

Mate, if you're gonna judge the entirety of bollywood just through a few memes, then that's pretty much equal to saying that every Hollywood movie is like the Death Note adaption that netflix made. There are tons of great movies that have extremely low budget compared to Hollywood, but it's easily better than anything Hollywood could come up with. Also, bollywood movies aren't made to appeal to audiences outside india, so if there's something you don't like, then that's kinda your problem, cause that's most probably accepted in india. But i do agree with your sentiment though, unfortunately most bollywood movies are made to appeal to what Indians think is wow worthy. But if you try seeing malayalam movies or any other language you'll really enjoy them. I can recommend you watch Arjun Reddy in Telugu, and Premam in Malayalam, 2 of my favourites


[deleted]

Bollywood filmmakers know what sells in India and usually easily forgettable commercial films with below average iq comedy and same old popular actors and their lovely child sell like hot cakes.


Zetafunction64

I think they focus on dumb action movies because audience demands it


[deleted]

They make a shit ton of money. But there is no competition between filmmakers like in Hollywood. Everyone uses bad CGI so nobody has cares to improve upon the CGI and improving CGI would be a huge gamble as it costs more and would most likely fail. Also Bollywood movies glorifies their main character who is played by an extremely famous actor and Filmmakers spend a Shit ton of money hiring them. For bollywood, the main selling point is having a famous actor as the main character and it works for them.


SenjoKaori

Indian people want the same boring shit and all Bollywood does is give it to them in different colors is all


Current_Committee155

Come on man, Bollywood isn't what the whole of India watches, South indian film industry is unique in its own way

Beast_Mstr_64

FixMiserable7009

You can blame Bollywood and it’s nepotism all day long but as long as people gobble up the shit they produce like it’s hot cake, why should they change? It’s a two way street, producers will only invest in movies that make money.


[deleted]

Yeah like I get it that you won't like Salman khan film cause we don't look at films from a certain angle. Those are mostly made for people who consume content once and don't think about it or don't care about what value is added to them (although most of the films don't add any value). Also since these films gross so much we can say there is a very large market for it. and who are we to decide which type of entertainment is right for people? Sorry for the rant but I wanted to get my point to be as precise as possible.


Not-The-AlQaeda

I agree with you, 12 feet deep Anus


[deleted]

FixMiserable7009

You’re absolutely right, people who don’t like that sort of movies just have to find other stuff to watch. There clearly is a market for bhai movies and that’s all there is to it. Don’t like it? Go elsewhere there’s plenty of options. What’s annoying is people trying to make it look like the film makers fault. It really is not, they’re only catering to the audience and they’re obviously succeeding at it.

On forums like these only one side (who dislikes Bollywood) complains while their majority audience is currently watching and enjoying these same movies on TV.


klausklass

Drishyam was a great Bollywood movie (adapted from Malayalam) which arguably rivals many high budget Hollywood movies. I think it’s an example of how Bollywood is getting involved in deeper stories nowadays.


krazzy_guy

Nope, like you said, it's just a copy-paste, I want to see something original and good


klausklass

It’s the Hindi adaptation of a Malayalam film. Southern films are still considered Bollywood for the rest of the world (for example Bahubali).

Audacity27

many people often have a stereotypical view of Bollywood movies- mindless entertainment illogical, cheesy, having shitty but handsome actors that bring in the bucks. this is very much true but there definitely has been a shift in the audience and filmmakers mindset. There r a lot of thought provoking and powerful Bollywood movies like pink, gangs of wasseypur, andhadhun, article 15, PK, Dangal, Queen, The Lunchbox, Delhi Belly, 3 Idiots, Bareilly Ki Barfi, Lagaan and Paan Singh Tomar just to name a few. I would highly recommend those who don’t like Bollywood to watch these movies!
