When will Bollywood FILMS live up to the HYPE?! - Page 7

I am not into watching your average song and dance Bollywood movies so I could care less. Mainstream hollywood does not interest me either, I usually gag if someone asks me to go watch something like No strings attached with them. Most people think hollywood is the epitome of moviemaking, well to those...have you tried watching foreign movies or even your regional Indian movies? How many people complaining about crappy Indian cinema have sat through the Apu trilogy, or a Mandi? Japanese, Spanish, German, Mexican, Turkish cinema? You pick and you choose, why limit your self to just regular bollywood. I watch movies that interest me. Somtimes they are nonsensical comedies like the hangover series or Bhool bhulaiya, sometimes serious like Head on or City of God.

I completley agree with Dexterphile. Also, on a ratio of good to bad films, hollywood has far more stupid mindless movies compared to good ones that do live up to the hype as well. It's very rare in any film industry to have all movies live up to the hype, each industry also goes through a golden age and then a rough patch. This is our industry's rough patch.

I agree. While reading many of the responses I was getting annoyed as everyone was comparing BW to HW. It was like, HW is the best film industry when it comes to movies. I chose not to say anything but glad you did. I know tons of Indian movies that are better than HW anyday.

But then you can make the same case for HW too...there are loads HW films too that are better than some of the BW/Indian films...it all really just depends on the film itself and not really the film industry where it's coming from!

That's true. But why only compare it to HW films? HW is not that great anyways, there are sequels happening in HW more than ever this year (just like BW) and the movies they make now are usually similar to another one of their past movies (No Strings Attached and Friends with Benefits released just a few months within each other, Planet of the Apes, etc).

The way the comparisons were going, it seemed to me like HW was the best film industry to make good movies.
