Is Bollywood male dominated? - Why Bollywood Sucks - Page 2

^^^

Suppose age is a thing but i do think its become less male dominated than before, more women do work now after marriage i feel. As for roles for older women they are only doing what the audience want, at the end of the day look at vidya for me is a amaazing actor today out of all of them, but yet 90% of the time when it comes to pr , awards, commercially she has nothing compared to glamorous actors.

If we have the priety and rani examples as actresses in the age range of srk, salman etc who are not doing many movies we have kajol/ash

When actresses grow older they want to do good roles that are worth their time....most likely smaller films strong roles...probably won't make whole deal of money....but why is it necessary for actresses like Rani, Kajol, Preity to do glamorous roles and be in the rat race or even give commercial hits?

With age you wisen up and these things should cease to matter....but the media never lets them be and if they are not doing commercial roles and givng hits then their career is over or something!!

In Hollywood do you see Kate Winslet being written off because Kirsten Stewert is the hottest thing right now? Kate does her work and gets her Oscars...Kirsten is the fantasy of youngsters. If it was Bollywood media would say Kate's "career is over" and Kirsten will get all the media highlight! LOL! That's the difference and that's the problem.

But it's great to see Kajol and Ash step it up.

To add to that....the audience is no less....they have similar mindset like the media. I have seen many comments on how someone looks older or their career is done and that they should go get married and make babies!

Both industries are definetly good... they do justice to watever they do!!

Its far more worse in Tamil industry. I remember a big Star in Tamil Ajith was pissed off that his leading lady in a soon to be released movie 'Laila' got married before the movie got released. he felt that will affect the saleability of the movie.

And moreover in S India actress are supposed to protect their 'pure' on-screen persona, remeber what happened to Kushbu after her comments on pre-marital sex?

Honestly, if the audience prefers to see certain male actors in movies, thats what the directors/film makers are going to give them

Simple Bollywood is male dominated and I think Hollywood is 1 million times better than Bollywood

Hollywood is 10000000 times better than Bollywood...because they have better movies and actors and much better way to handle their press (even Hwood has W*F press moments BUT they're usually 90% of the time true unlike Bollywood journalists who seem to live in la la land)

Bollywood has always been male dominated and I think Hollywood has too....it took them 82 years to award a female for best director?? and only 4 have been nominated for female best director.

But I have to admit this year for Hollywood it was all about women power..from Mo'Nique to Sandra Bullock to Meryl Streep to Katryn Bigelow...it was reining women all along...everyone forgot about the males..lol

one thing I appreciate about Hollywood is that age isnt that big a deal..I mean an actress like Meryl Streep STILL gets movies and she excells at them....whereas in Bwood....all they do is praise Rekha?? how about offering her a movie as a lead role or how about giving SRK/Aamir and the likes roles that portray their age...how come SRK/Aamir/Saif/Akki havent played fatherly roles in their new movies? and yet the ladies are always given motherly roles
