They say things in BW are changing but the more things change the more they stay the same . See what I did there . I think it's called a metaphor 😆😆 So I wanted to ask you guys what genre of movies do you wanna see in Hindi cinema . For me A for 1 is Cartoon movies . Also buddy cop movies are rare in BW . I loved Dabangg but what if there were 2 guys instead of 1 . Like I think main khiladi tu anari was a buddy cop movie . That film was awesome and more like that should be made . Well that's it for me . Anyone have any other suggestions ? Also I have been readin all day that some of you have issues with this place and I think there's only thing to do about it . The sane choice is to put me in charge . ⭐️⭐️ I think this place is ripe for a take over and make over . An I would make it fun again . Or as much fun a person can have discussing Bollywood 😆😆

Hm.. i think BW is forever stuck with Rom-coms, Love stories, Historical/ Biopics & Action

We havent done much otherwise, atleast they havent been good...

A good scary horror film w/o s*x
Mystery Thrillers

Probably even comedies - dont mean s*x comedies, BUT a good plot with no vulgar jokes..

Crime/Gangster

I dont think we have any Sci-Fi also... Souths are coming up with it. Maybe it will get remade here. Lol !

And yeah Animated films too.

Good topic! 👍🏼

I want to see more adventure films. I forgot when BW last had one. Even Bengali cinema had a film Chander Pahar starring a Bengali superstar. It would be good to watch something historical or futuristic based on adventure.

Sci-fi and some good mystery movies. Abbas-Mastaan gave a few mysterymovies but I want more and with giid story and suspense that is not so predictable. And a yes from my side for animation.

I think most of the genres are rare in Indian cinema 😆 I dont know why most of the BW movies are tragic love stories or stunt based action movies. Would love to see some real mystery and adventure films. Also there should be more movies on more realistic issues like 3idiots, OMG etc. And ofcourse more movies around feminism with good male characters, our society really needs some male role models.

Slasher nd spatter themes. I don't think Bollywood has done justice to these two genre.
Also can't remember a good psychological project which has came from the realm of our industry.
Something like a black swan or inception i.e a dark psychological film.
