Hey!
Just a thought that's been on my mind. The kind of big budget films that are released these days and do well, do you think both the industry and the audience's standards have hit a nadir?
Mediocre actors- I feel ordinary performances get lauded and celebrated these days. People are so used to sub par performances that anything that hovers above the average mark becomes 'super se upar'. Female actors need to be prototypes- light skinned, tall and conventionally good-looking. Very little importance given to acting chops.
Mediocre movies- Same formula that ties them together- 'hero' who shows his omnipotence later in the film, heroine who revolves around the hero, some stereotypes thrown in for good measure and some dishoom dishoom.
Nepotism- Drawing from my first point, nepotism means people who wouldn't have been given chances otherwise get to make merry (Tiger Shroff, ahem ahem). This means that we have to tolerate anyone who is anybody's family on screen. No real barometer for talent. Male actors from outside the industry find it especially hard due to a patriarchy which dictates that the industry belongs to silver spoon spawns.
I could go on, but what are your opinions?
