Coming back to a little talk about cultural trend. The entire vanity of ‘Beauty Aspirations’ have slowly experienced a shift to ‘Beauty that looks like me’. Likewise, For urban audience in cinema. I would watch a Jaydeep Ahlawat acting his heart out rather than the pretty and so called Greek Gods. Why? Because they don’t resonate with me. There’s definitely a slow shift in the trend cultures.
How does it impact cinema in the digital world? People want to look at people who aren’t just pretty faces anymore. They look for depth, intelligence and much more. There was a furore and discussion about all this before SSR but now, it’s like a catastrophic chain reaction.
Agree with your points! Also would like to point that social media has given everyone a platform to vent which wasn’t present earlier.
Only disagree with the part that the likes of Alia and Jhanvi come in the “Beauty Aspirations” or “Greek Goddess” category, there are more like “Looks much worse than me still hailed as Glam Goddesses” category!🥱
