thats such a cliche statement..."old bollywood was so clean and innocent and classy...new bollywood is crass and cheap and vulgar"...
exactly what classy lyrics or songs or choreography are we talking abt from the yesteryear films?
Rajesh khanna singing "Hui hui garmi hai kahaan hai" while making wierd orgasm noises to sridevi in maqsad?
Juhi telling Anil kapoor "Main maal gadi tu dhakka laga" while pelvic thrusting in Andaz?
Karishma telling govinda "Sarkayilo khatiya jaada lage" , while doing all kinds of dry humping moves?
Madhuri telling anil "Ouch...Dhak dhak karne laga" while thumping her chest?
Sridevi doing an "erotic song" in a wet saree right in the middle of a KIDS FILM like Mr india
how can all those be acceptable and "sensuous" and today's songs be crap? thats such double standards...
and why do people fail to acknowledge that the music today is of a very high standard?
Highway, Queen, BMB, Barfi, SOTY, lootera, Raanjhanaa , YJHD, Kai po che, Aashiqui 2, Dedh Ishqiya and many more examples of good songs and good lyrics...why ignore all that and label today's music as crap and vulgar and devoid of lyrical value?
vulgar songs exist now...vulgar songs also existed back then...
good songs existed back then...good songs exist now aswelll...
and there is no need for each film to be a "family film" to be good. Wolf of wall street was R+ rated but it was still nominated for academy awards and hugely acclaimed by the people.
So the "cleanliness" of a film dosent decide its worth for sure.
Its common sense...u dunt take ur families to Ragini MMS, or TDP, or Grand masti...but those films have their own audiences and thats fine...
therz no need to generalize or be judgemental.
